AI Claws Is Comin’ To Town

December 21, 2023

Little Suzie Newsykins is back and singing her holiday heart out, this time about AI.

The past year was marked by huge advances in artificial intelligence technology that for me, were incredibly cool and scary at the same time.

Trump’s Courtroom Campaign

December 7, 2023

Before he becomes a dictator, Donald Trump has quite few court dates in his future.

Regardless of whether or not he carries out his anti-democratic threats, the Defendant-in-Chief is making the most of his court appearances.

The Great Replacement of Twitter (subsequently X)

November 30, 2023

By now you’ve probably seen clips of an unhinged Elon Musk throwing f-bombs at X Corp’s former advertisers.

Scores of big corporations fled what used to be called Twitter when Media Matters revealed that ads were being served up next to pro-Nazi content.

SCOTUS' Friendly 'Code of Conduct'

November 15, 2023

The Supreme Court unveiled its new Code of Conduct in much the same way a surly 9-year-old might say, “Fine! I’ll make my bed!”

In a passive-aggressive statement that sounded an awful lot like Chief Justice John Roberts, the Court essentially blamed all of us for misunderstanding just how ethical they already were.

The Denialism of Speaker Mike Johnson

November 8, 2023

Right-wing mayhem, party chaos and the high court’s Dobbs decision that hurt Republicans in Tuesday’s election is all personified in Speaker Mike Johnson.

Just how nutty is the new Republican Speaker of the House?

Probably nuttier than we all first thought.

Questions...

November 2, 2023

Israeli forces are continuing to pound Gaza in the aftermath of the Hamas terror attack that sparked this latest round of fighting.

The war shows no signs of easing as millions of civilians desperately try to flee the bombing campaign in the Gaza Strip, which measures only 25 miles by 6 miles and is home to over 2 million people, half of who are children.

Who’s Speaker Now?

October 26, 2023

Well, they have a winner. And it’s not democracy.

House Republicans finally elected a speaker and he’s an election-denying right-winger. (Don’t be fooled by his membership in the very level-headed sounding group, the “Republican Study Committee.)

Reprisals

October 12, 2023

As you may have guessed, horrific violence in Israel and Gaza calls for decidedly un-funny cartoons.

Mocking Kevin McCarthy is one thing, cartooning about people killing civilians is quite another.

No matter how you slice it, civilians in Israel and Gaza (and likely the West Bank) are bearing the brunt of this war — a war that was brewing long before the terror attackon a rave and various locations near the border with Gaza.

Republican Trials & Tribulations

October 4, 2023

First up, a video of me drawing these cartoons, backed by Republicans acting more cartoonish than the cartoons.

It’s been an action-packed week for Republicans . . . and it’s only half over as I write this.

I guess you keep pretty busy if you have a political party that is led by a criminal not-so-mastermind and made up of extremist sycophants.

The House Freedom Caucus

Thanks to chaos among House Republicans, we’re headed for a government shutdown.

Because Kevin McCarthy doesn’t want to lose his speakership, we’re headed for a shutdown.

Because the House of Representatives is being held hostage by the far-right “Freedom Caucus,” we’re headed for a shutdown — and active-duty military service-members will have to work without pay.

While Republicans have been demanding to know why Attorney General Merrick Garland has not devoted his entire career to seeing that Hunter Biden is locked up, a few other things have been going on.

Namely, the United Nations General Assembly meeting in New York and huge climate protests around the world after a summer of record-breaking climate calamity.

Maybe it’s just an incredible coincidence that right-wing Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz was scheduled to give a speech on the floor of the House outlining reasons why they should dump Kevin McCarthy as leader — on the same day McCarthy announced the impeachment inquiry against President Biden.

As you probably know, the day or two right before a holiday weekend like we just experienced are when people like to release awkward news.

It is hard to imagine what Donald Trump’s daily planner looks like, but I thought I’d take a shot. Between indictments, arrests, campaign rallies, trials and new crimes, Trump is one busy defendant and head of the Republican Party.

Meta Turns Off The News
Aug 23, 2023

Amid record-breaking wildfires in Canada, it’s important to get potentially life-saving information out as quickly as possible, right?

Not if you’re Meta, the technology giant behind Facebook and Instagram.

In Canada, Meta blocked local and national news instead of compensate media outlets whose content appears on its social media platforms.

Now that Donald Trump has been indicted a fourth (4th!) time, his legal strategy is becoming more apparent: Delay, distract and do everything he can to win back the presidency so he can pardon himself.

As Ron DeSantis drops further in the polls, he is more desperate to get noticed. With Donald Trump’s greater charisma and attention-grabbing indictments, it’s becoming more clear the Defendant-in-Chief will be the Republican nominee for president . . . so DeSantis acts out in an endless attempt to position himself as the candidate to the right of Trump.

Slavery: not so bad, say DeSantis & crew
Jul 25, 2023

Ron DeSantis and the Florida Board of Education are trying to put a positive spin on slavery.

I mean, was it really that bad? (Spoiler alert: yes it was.)

DeSantis and his educational experts found time (amid a full schedule of book-banning and decreeing who can use what bathroom) to rework the state’s African American studies curriculum so it was a little more chipper.

Whoda’ thunk right-wing Supreme Court rulings could look even more hypocritical?

The Court finished its term with a distinctly pull-up-your-bootstraps message. Affirmative action in higher education? Nope. Student loan forgiveness? Nope. After all, America is all about being a self-made success story, just ask Justice Clarence Thomas and his pals in the Horatio Alger Association.

Judging by the lives of right-wing Supreme Court justices like Thomas and Samuel Alito, being successful and living life to the fullest is a lot easier if you have a billionaire patron.

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.

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.

SCOTUS Gift Cards
May 17, 2023

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.

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?

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?
