The White House wants warning signs outside the #Smithsonian because it claims Americans are being misled about their own history. So I put one where it belongs. #PoliticalCartoon #EditorialCartoon #TheWhiteHouse #Satire #DrawnAndQuartered
Editorial cartoon of the White House viewed from the front lawn. In the foreground stands a temporary warning sign with the heading “WARNING” in red. The sign reads: “THIS ADMINISTRATION cannot be trusted to tell America’s story honestly and in a way that is inspiring, unifying, and worthy of our great republic.” The White House stands quietly in the background behind the sign.

A vote on ICE & Border Patrol funding may come as soon as Thursday and the House vote is expected shortly after. The bill includes $70 billion for detention camps, militarized deployments, and lawless arrests. As the cherry on top, Republicans added $1 billion in the bill for Trump’s ballroom.

Here’s a thought for James Comer. There IS a First Lady who has had a relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. And it’s not Hillary Clinton. It might be worthwhile for Comer to subpoena the First Lady who actually knows Epstein. You know, just to see what she knows.

Howard Lutnick misled the American people about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein because he didn't want to admit he continued interacting with Epstein even AFTER Epstein was convicted of soliciting a minor.   It's a disgrace. Lutnick needs to resign as Secretary of Commerce.
