For all that is holy, I beg my fellow journalists to walk out of the White House briefing room and leave him without a platform. Stop reinforcing bad behavior!

Missouri Supreme Court rules new GOP-drawn map can’t be used for November elections
The court said a referendum seeking to put the map up for a vote must be placed on the ballot, meaning the state’s elections this fall will take place under its old congressional lines.

Was Tasia Fortune lynched in Jackson, Mississippi this week? As of July 31, Jackson (pop. 142,000) has had 54 homicides. That's one for every 2,629 residents. Chicago, Illinois (pop. 2.7M) has had 253, or one for every 10,672 residents. Jackson's homicide rate is 4X that of Chicago's.

Three years ago, the Biden White House attacked me for saying "Democrats should be fighting on every possible front — filing a flurry of lawsuits and exerting public pressure through the media." "The president's team wants to be more selective in picking legal fights." I feel sadly vindicated.

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.
