Donald Trump’s plan for his second term includes a push to make it harder to obtain birth control. This follows several other Republican-led initiatives to make it more difficult for Americans to use contraception, including condoms. What’s next, forced impregnation? Guns and marijuana, on the other hand, are still easy to get.
Political cartoonists Ted Rall (on the Left) and Scott Stantis (on the Right) analyze the conviction of Donald Trump. How did it happen? Will he go to jail and/or be put on probation? Will he drop out of the race? How will it affect the campaign? Might we soon have a sitting president forced to govern from prison?

Democrats say they’re defending democracy–but only by opposing Trump. They’re happy to resort to anti-democratic tactics whenever they feel threatened.
After the January 6th Capitol riot, social media companies blocked Donald Trump’s accounts. His poll numbers, which had been awful, began to creep up. Now he’s being silenced again by being stuck in court four days a week and subject to a partial gag order, and the same phenomenon is happening again. The less voters hear from the former president, the better they like him.
Democrats often urge disgruntled progressives to support Biden on the ground that he’s the “lesser evil,” compared with Trump. But it’s Biden, not Trump, who has helped Israel to kill more than 31,000 Palestinians in occupied Gaza.
Finding it hard to get excited about your next date with democracy? You may be suffering from Electoral Dysfunction.
Biden’s defenders brush off his support for right-wing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s carpet-bombing of Gaza, which has killed tens of thousands of innocent Palestinians. There can only be one reason why.
Anti-Trump #Resistance members say they’re demoralized by their long fight against MAGA Republicans. Considering what members of actual Resistance fighters had to go through–executions, torture, reprisals against their family members, poverty, being sent to death camps–the minor annoyances these snowflakes report after doing basically nothing since 2016 (unless you count attending one or two rallies) don’t even begin to pale in significance. The least they could do is to stop insulting the memories of actual Resistance fighters by comparing their lame selves to real heroes.
You’ve heard the claim that Joe Biden is with it behind closed doors, that it’s only in public that the president seems confused or senile. Similar things have been said about Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. What if they’re true?
Team Biden responds to concerns that the president may be senile with assurances that, behind the scenes, Biden is energetic and sharp. We don’t get to see that, of course…not that we get to see much of the Leader of the Free World at all. Maybe it’s time for Team Trump to deploy their own version of “you don’t know him the way I know him” argument.
