Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito was quick to put his own spin on the recent ProPublica story about his unethical behavior — so quick, in fact, he began his spinning before the story was actually published.

Is it any surprise that Republicans are targeting academics who study disinformation as the campaign for the 2024 election gets under way?
House Judiciary Committee chair Rep. Jim Jordan (and his now-weaponized subcommittee on the “weaponization of government”) are going after university professors, researchers and students who investigate disinformation online.
Read MoreOn the Trail of Top Secret Papers… and Reason
Donald Trump has been booked and fingerprinted (again!) thanks to special counsel Jack Smith’s 38-count indictment of the Defendant-in-Chief.
The indictment details the path taken by the classified documents at Mar-a-Lago and later at Trump’s Bedminster Golf Club.

In yet another right-wing consumer freak out, some conservative Republicans are outraged (outraged, I say!) at Target for being woke. The big box retailer was selling merchandise that was geared towards the LGBTQ community, which caused right-wingers to of course roll out the old Satanism and child “grooming” tropes.
Read MoreDeSantis and Elon: A Match Made in Hell
Just when you thought it couldn’t get any weirder, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis announced he was running for president in a Twitter live stream event hosted by eccentric billionaire and rising right-wing star, Elon Musk.

According to Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, we’ll pass the debt ceiling deadline on June 1. Once the U.S. stops paying its bills and is in default, economic calamity will ensue. Yes, something must be done to avoid cratering stock and financial markets and certain recession.

From free private jet travel to access to a free luxury superyacht, Clarence Thomas has redefined what it means to be a public servant. Sure, a salary of $285,000 isn’t bad, but why stop there?
Since it is becoming a little difficult to keep track of all the perks showered on Justice Thomas by Harlan Crow (and another guy who bought him tires a while back), I thought gift cards may be a better way to go.
Read MoreRepublicans Demand Brain Control
For some reason, Republicans like Texas Governor Greg Abbott seem to focus exclusively on the “mental health” angle of mass shootings and gun violence. If you’re a gun rights advocate, you are apparently incapable of pushing for better mental health care AND sensible restrictions on guns. What’s wrong with doing both?
Read MoreSilence Dissent With Decorum(tm)
The beautiful state of Montana isn’t usually featured very prominently in the news (or in my cartoons, for that matter). Unfortunately, it should be getting much more attention now given the outrageous, anti-democratic moves of the Republican-controlled legislature.
Read MoreDo What We Say Or The Economy Dies!
Led by speaker Kevin McCarthy, House Republicans passed a bill that would chop spending while agreeing to raise the debt ceiling. Keep in mind that the “debt ceiling” is not authorizing any new spending, it is just paying for spending that was already approved by Congress. In other words, should we pay our bills or not?
Read MoreJoe Biden’s ‘Opposite Doctrine’
The Biden administration recently approved a major oil project for the Alaskan Arctic that would include hundreds of oil wells and release 300 million tons of carbon over the next 30 years.
Read MoreRight-Wing Travel
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas likes to bill himself as a regular guy who spends time in Walmart parking lots in his RV.
In truth, it appears that he actually prefers private jet travel and spending time on a luxury super yacht with a Republican billionaire, surrounded by corporate executives, political operatives, Federalist Society lawyers.

Of course I would love it if the days of giving Donald Trump any attention were over, but it is kind of a big deal when an ex-president is arrested.

A public charter school principal in Florida was recently given the boot. Her offense? Not sending a warning letter out to parents before an art teacher showed a 6th-grade class a photo of Michelangelo’s David statue.
