This. It has always been this. A sitting American president did this. And because he did this, he should have been convicted and put behind bars. And the fact that we never held him accountable for these crimes will forever stain this country. And we may never recover from it.👇

Today's cartoon by Nick Anderson. The demographic that actually purchases heavy-duty diesel trucks and fills them up at the pump is highly specific: Gender: Fully 90% of diesel truck buyers are men. Race: More than 84% identify as white.

A social media post by Michael Beschloss (@BeschlossDC) displaying a historical black-and-white photograph of people riding a small open-air electric train in a tunnel with the text "U.S. Senate subway, about 1915:", paired with a reply from Alex Palombo (@AlexPalombo) reading: "Even crazier, 4 of those guys are still in the Senate today".

A photo of Representative Lauren Boebert sitting outdoors on a large stack of hay bales, wearing a pink tank top, blue jeans, and cowboy boots. Overlaid text across the bottom reads: "If you live in Colorado's 4th Congressional District and you haven't had an affair with Lauren Boebert, you may be entitled to compensation."

A screenshot of an interaction on X (formerly Twitter).

At the top, Merriam-Webster (@MerriamWebster) quote-tweets a post from Pop Base (@PopBase) that reads: "Apple introduces the foldable iPhone Duo. #AppleEvent", accompanied by two images showing a foldable smartphone. Merriam-Webster adds the caption: "Not to brag, but our product has been foldable since 1828."

Below, user hanaa (@hanasaitoo) replies: "umm who are you??? like genuinely?? ppl dont even know yall so how can we know for sure what you are talking aboutt".

At the bottom, Merriam-Webster replies to hanaa with: "Open the schools."
