The latest from Texas Observer cartoonist Ben Sargent. Read more Loon Star State: www.texasobserver.org/topics/loon-...
In this cartoon, a woman confronts a grotesque looking knight in cross armor, riding a drooling pig and holding a shield which reads "GOP Anti-Islam Crusaders." She says: "No human authority ought, in any case whatever, to control or interfere with the rights of conscience in matters of religion--" 
Knight: "Who said that? ... Some MOOS-LIM Terr'ist?!" 
Woman: "Texas constitution, 1876 ..."

Trump, Vance, and Republicans are terrified of policies that curb their own wealth and power, and the wealth and power of the oligarchs that bankroll them. That's why they're amping up the fearmongering about "socialism." They've run out of cards to play.

Wages aren’t keeping up with Trump’s inflation. 30-year mortgage rate up from 5.99% before the war to 7.6%, or $4,330 more per year for a typical household. Household debt, Q1 ’25 to Q2 ’26: +$56B. Families going into more debt just to get by. Total cost to American borrowers of Trump’s broken promise to cap credit card interest rates: $94.9B. Share of each extra dollar of income going to household debt: 52¢. Take-home income up $109/month since 2022; debt payments up $57. Cost of Living Basket Since Dec. 2024: Electricity +12.7%, approximately $222 more for the average household. Rent +5.1%, approximately $256 more. Gasoline +43.7%, approximately $758 more.
