Five new cartoons today.
DARK MONEY: JUST INSERT CASH
American democracy has gotten remarkably convenient. No complicated forms, no waiting in line — just insert enough cash and select the government feature you’d like.
TRUMPAPALOOZA
Trump has a headliner, a rally and the polls to prove that millions of Americans still approve of him. Unfortunately, approval ratings and ticket sales aren't quite the same thing.
THE ANTI-WEAPONIZATION FUND
A judge wants to know who created the Justice Department’s $1.8 billion anti-weaponization fund. The Justice Department thinks answering that question would be weaponization.
BUY LESS AMERICAN BEEF
Trump has a plan to lower beef prices: import cheaper beef. American cattle ranchers may be forgiven for wondering exactly which part of that plan is supposed to help them.
“NEVER AGAIN” HAD AN EXPIRATION DATE
For generations, Germany built part of its national identity around two words: “Never again.” After the AfD’s historic landslide in Saxony-Anhalt, those words suddenly sound less like a promise and more like a question.
