When the Indiana Senate refused to do mid-decade gerrymandering, Trump posted about it nonstop & got directly involved in taking out the senators who voted against it. But when thousands of people in IN have been without power for 2 weeks, Trump posted nothing and doesn’t care.

The GOP’s debt alarm comes with a partisan mute button: loud under Democrats, silent under Republicans. At $40T, the bill keeps climbing either way. John Darkow skewers the selective fiscal panic. 🐘💸⛰️ #USPolitics #NationalDebt
John Darkow editorial cartoon, dated 22-Aug-2026, titled “MOUNTAIN OF DEBT.” A huge, dark, jagged mountain dominates the frame, with “$40T DEBT” in giant white letters across its face. Two tiny elephants carrying packs marked “GOP” climb the steep left side. One asks, “WHY DON’T WE COMPLAIN ABOUT THE DEBT ANYMORE?” The other replies, “WE ONLY DO THAT WHEN DEMOCRATS ARE IN POWER!” Sparse clouds and light-blue horizontal strokes cross the otherwise black-and-white drawing. Darkow’s signature and “Columbia Missourian” appear at upper right; a small credit line at the bottom reads “MOUNTAIN OF DEBT by John Darkow, politicalcartoons.com.” The cartoon depicts Republican concern about government debt as partisan and conveniently absent when Republicans hold power.

#ResistanceRoots Sophie Aberle was born on this day in 1896 in Schenectady, N.Y. She was an anthropologist, physician and nutritionist who merged those fields to serve the Pueblo people of New Mexico. She advocated for land rights so they could return to traditional agricultural practices. /1
Dr. Sophie Aberle. When she arrived in the Southwest, she documented alarming rates of tuberculosis, high infant mortality and severe vitamin deficiencies among Pueblo children. Paternalistic federal policies had confined the Pueblos to small, degraded plots of land while white squatters took the fertile valleys. The tribes could no longer grow their diverse, traditional crops. Encroachment by outside ranchers had destroyed the native grasslands and depleted the soil, forcing tribes to rely on highly processed government rations, such as white flour and sugar. She helped the Pueblos reclaim hundreds of thousands of acres of land so they could return to fresh, local and culturally appropriate proteins and nutrients.
