Every year I go see The Hold Steady at Brooklyn Bowl for their annual Massive Nights concert. Since I live near the venue, I go over to buy tickets in person at the box office. Tickets are $50.

So the new plan seems to be to physically carve and etch "Restored and Renovated by President Donald J. Trump" directly into the white marble facade at the Kennedy Center. Not affixed letters like Kennedy's name.

Hard not to speculate about the real reason press secretary Karoline Leavitt is leaving the administration. She was on the Air Force One decoy plane and announced her departure two days after it was revealed that Trump had been moved to a different one. She had not been in the know.

Here's the thing. It would have been easy to have just had Air Force One sit on the ground in Turkey while Trump took the other plane to England. That was a conscious decision to risk those people's lives because he didn't want to look weak. Despicable.

Watching a series of former Confederate states rush to eliminate any vestige of black representation in the House pretty much answers the question whether the Voting Rights Act was still necessary.

I will never use AI to write anything. Even if it weren't ethically dubious, using AI to write is like having a robot do the reps during weight lifting. Your writing skills will deteriorate. Your voice will atrophy. I genuinely don't understand why any writer would do it. Makes no sense.

History, Rhyming Read more cartoons! ---> #PoliCartoon Help us make more! ----> patreon.com/barry

TRANSCRIPT OF CARTOON

This cartoon has six panels. A caption at the top says "History, Rhyming."

PANEL 1

A close up of someone's hand lying limply on the ground, in sepia tones.

CAPTION: August 20, 1965: Civil rights activist Jonathan Daniels put himself between a deputy sheriff and the black teen the deputy was attacking. The deputy shot Daniels to death.

PANEL 2

A close up of a gloved hand lying limply on snowy pavement, a cell phone lying nearby. Drawn in blue tones.

CAPTION: January 24 2026: Anti-fascist activist Alex Pretti put himself between border protection agents and the woman the agents were attacking. The agents shot Pretti to death.

PANEL 3

This panel is divided in two, sepia on the left and blues on the right. On the sepia side, a man inn a suit sneers. On the right side, a man in a border patrol uniform sneers.

BOTH (in unison): He was intended to commit a massacre!

CAPTION (sepia side): Arthur Gamble: Corrupt prosecutor who threw the case.

CAPTION (blue side): Gregory Bovino: Border Patrol Commander.

PANEL 4

Another panel divided into sepia and blue sides. On the sepia side is a cheerful middle-aged man in a suit. On the right side are two masked Border Patrol agents.

ALL THREE (unison): I was in fear for my life!

CAPTION (sepia side): Tom Coleman, Daniels' murderer.

CAPTION (blue side): Jesus Ochoa and Raymundo Gutierrez, Pretti's murderers.

PANEL 5

On the sepia side, three people with 1960s haircuts are angrily yelling. On the blue side, same thing except with current-day hair and clothes.

ALL (unison): If he hadn't put himself where he didn't belong he'd still be alive! Cops have to make split-second judgements! Law! Order! Bark bark bark bark woof!

CAPTION: Boot-licking stooges.

PANEL 6

In a clearing, surrounded by grass, trees, and shrubs, two men talk to each other. One, wearing a clerical collar, is "Jonathan Daniels, 1939-1965." The other, wearing a winter jacket and baggy jeans, is "Alex Pretti, 1989-2026."

The price I pay for a bag of coffee at Whole Foods has increased by almost 24% in the last three months. Thanks Trump! I have heard that a lot of retailers were able to initially absorb the impact of the tariffs, in part due to existing inventories. If this is true, 2026 is going to be pretty bad.

The timing of this post and the reference to the murders being "due to the anger ... caused others through … TDS" suggests strongly that Trump believed that **one or more of his supporters** had committed the murders—and that they had committed the atrocity **justifiably**.

Trump’s stated justification for every single one of his despicable pardons of multiple drug traffickers, wealthy fraudsters, people who beat up cops, cronies, violent criminals, and politically connected Republicans is always the same: “I heard they were treated very unfairly.”

Trump bragging that the Walmart 2025 Thanksgiving meal basket is down 25% from 2024. Totally different meal, with items removed or replaced by cheaper brands. Fresh stuffing and seasoning? Settle for box mix and bland. Sweet potatoes? How about box mac and cheese. And they eliminated a whole pie.
