Civic satire with teeth. A backbone forged in the Constitution. We stand against kings, cults, and cowardice—mocking what demands mockery, defending democracy without apology, and calling out every cheap attack on freedom.

Tuberville just doesn’t understand just how long Furries have been in aviation. Chuck Yeager tended to discount his courage, confidence, and near-supernatural calmness in the face of death. He considered himself “lucky” — perhaps it was those 2 rabbit’s feet he had.🥕

Once upon a time, three little mice stumbled upon a magnificent cheese plate. Two ate their fill and rested in a haze of cheesy contentment. The third had none because the halal label upset his delicate tummy. Moral: It’s food. Not indoctrination.
A storybook-style cartoon shows a lavish cheese plate marked “Tillamook Halal Certified.” A mouse in a red cap turns away indignantly while two other mice recline nearby with round, cheese-filled bellies. The caption reads: “More for us… It’s food, not indoctrination.”

I'm seeing some people ask why the Democratic Party and congressional leaders aren't doing more to challenge Trump's anti-voting executive order. They were literally the first to seek a new injunction after SCOTUS ruled. I know, because I am their lawyer. www.democracydocket.com/cases/trump-...

As a proctologist, this looks like a fecal extrusion device, although it appears he's using a fairly heavy duty model. We only prescribe these to patients who diarrhea themselves 24/7.

A report on the ground from the ICE shooting in Biddeford that should make every parent in this country lose their minds:
Cecelia Humiston, 22, lives on Chapel Street. She was asleep with her two-year-old son when she woke up to the sounds of a commotion on surrounding streets.

When she went to investigate, she saw what appeared to be a person lying on the ground on Pool Street.

She remembers hearing an older woman with a distressed family, yelling, “You took her dad, you took her dad!”

“They were with a little girl, she couldn't have been older than three,” Humiston said. “She was still in her Bluey pajamas.”

Humiston described law enforcement as “rude,” and said they barricaded family’s car from leaving. Another yelled at the little girl, who was trying to smell flowers.

Sue better call Saul. #Seashells
Minimalist black-and-white cartoon set on a beach boardwalk. A woman stands by a small stand labeled “Sue’s Seashells” while one officer cuffs her and another reads from a pad. The officer says, “We’ve had complaints about you selling seashells… by the seashore.” A few shells on the stand subtly form “8647.”

An illustration of several wooden matchsticks standing upright around a larger lit match on top of a red matchbox. The matchbox sits on a black rectangular platform against a dark background. The lit match is slightly taller and emits a small flame. The surrounding matches are unlit and slightly angled toward the center. The matchbox drawer is slightly open.

The situation in the Strait of Hormuz is completely under control. #Iran #Hormuz
Black-and-white editorial cartoon with minimal color: Donald Trump sits in a patched inflatable raft labeled “EXCURSION,” holding a paddle and saying, “We’ve totally secured the strait!” His red tie is the only bright color. Behind him a tanker burns with heavy smoke, while naval mines and debris float in the water. A small seabird stands on top of one of the mines, appearing to watch him.

I’ve been asked if I would support Sen. Mullin as Noem’s replacement. The answer is a resounding NO. The rot in DHS is deep, much deeper than any individual. It’s a question of policy not personnel. The Senate should not consider any DHS Secretary nominee until DHS and ICE are reined in.

Oil markets are already up roughly 10% on weekend trading as geopolitical risk rises around the Strait of Hormuz (which handles about 20% of global oil supply). Markets price risk quickly. Voters do too. Fuel prices have a way of shaping public mood faster than speeches ever do. #IRAN #OILPRICES

Pam Bondi didn't listen to or obey these instructions. But that's on brand for someone performing for an audience of one.
Screenshot of an X post by Acyn quoting Rep. Jamie Raskin addressing Attorney General Pam Bondi during a congressional hearing, urging her not to evade questions or engage in personal attacks, to set aside a “burn book,” and to stop speaking when members reclaim their time. Below is a split-screen MSNBC broadcast image showing Rep. Jamie Raskin speaking at a hearing on the left and Attorney General Pam Bondi seated at the witness table on the right with a nameplate reading “ATTORNEY GENERAL BONDI.” A lower-third banner reads: “RASKIN TO BONDI: CARRYING OUT TRUMP’S ‘VENDETTA FACTORY.’”

Screenshot of an X.com post by The Associated Press (@AP) stating that dozens of immigrant families protested for better treatment behind fences at a Texas detention facility, where a 5-year-old Ecuadorian boy and his father were sent after being detained in Minnesota. Below is a video thumbnail showing a crowd gathered outdoors along a fenced walkway; many people wear bright blue or red outerwear, and some hold signs.

Ilhan Omar is an American hero. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...
Ms. Omar, visibly shaken after the assault, insisted to her staff and security that she would continue. She asked for a napkin and told them: "Just give me 10 minutes. I beg you. Please don't let them have the show."
Ms. Omar then turned the crowd. "Here's the reality that people like this ugly man don't understand," she said. "We are Minnesota strong, and we will stay resilient in the face of whatever they might throw at us."
Someone in the crowd later thanked Ms.
Omar for staying and continuing after the assault, which had shaken not only her but the entire room.
"I learned at a young age you don't give in to threats," Ms. Omar said.
