Jack Smith needs to become a verb. “Let’s Jack Smith some of the false claims about vaccine protocols and climate change.” His calm, cool crushing of a ranting Republican accuser was a marvel to behold.

Every place, ultimately, is a small town. But whenever I go back to the small-town part of the world where I used to live and immediately run into someone who's known me since forever, I cherish actual small towns all over again.

So the president has raked in two billion American dollars during his second term, so far. Move over Charlie Forbes, Harry Dougherty and Al Fall. This thief is showing the amateurs of the Harding administration how it’s done.

Voting is a right, not a privilege. The SAVE Act won’t save anything. It will strip Americans of their right to vote. We have to fight back to protect our democracy.

Anyone else notice this? Mainstream journalists have forgotten their duty to speak truth to power. It is why it is one of the rights written into the Constitution. Political cartoonists are the real and true heroes of the moment.

A century from now, the current president will be remembered just as frequently and fondly as Warren Gamaliel Harding, and his name will be emblazoned on the same number of nothings.

50,000 Minnesotans turned out to peacefully protest ICE’s actions in 10 below weather and there were no problems. The next day a whole team of federal agents couldn’t handle one citizen with a cell phone. They shot him. ICE needs to leave.

The average ICE agent makes $100k a year, in some cases without a high school diploma, to roam our streets lawlessly terrorizing people. Meanwhile, law abiding American citizens are trying to figure out how they pay for healthcare and groceries at the same time.
