Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public. He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit. Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.

"Members of his administration justify Mr. Trump’s instinctual attraction to power by reaching for a longer tradition of right-wing thought that favors explicitly monarchical and even dictatorial rule." nytimes.com/2025/05/04/opi…

Trump family conflicts of interest dwarf anything done by Biden and son Hunter. Would Dems please raise a fraction of the stink that GOP did?

The Trump family's crypto business just got a huge $2 billion investment from a UAE government-backed firm. We are witnessing a foreign government effectively bribe the President of the United States — right out in the open. Hello? rollingstone.com/politics/polit…

Hey, MAGA, remember how you used Hunter’s deals to fault the Biden “crime family”? Trump family is doing exponentially more. nytimes.com/2025/05/05/us/… via @NYTimes

Well done by The Washington Post - winner of Breaking News Pulitzer Prize for coverage of the Donald Trump assassination attempt in Pennsylvania

WashPost’s 2 Pulitzers perfectly reflect a split newsroom: News side, which continues to shine, wins for covering Trump assassination attempt. Beleaguered Opinions side wins for cartoonist who quit in protest when editor killed her cartoon skewering Bezos. washingtonpost.com/style/media/20…

Martin spent years advocating for release of those who attacked Capitol cops on Jan. 6 and downplayed violence against them. Now that his nomination is on the ropes:

More lies from Trump: contrary to his claims, there have not been negotiations with China. This is significant, because markets have been eager to see progress there.

Kamala Harris was put in an impossible position with 100 days to go. She did her best to run a strong campaign without repudiating Biden. Biden has repaid her with shameful levels of disrespect and delusions about how he would have won. It's honestly sad and embarrassing.

A very pro-Biden cohort of liberals urging the party to move past him, agree in public that he shouldn’t have run again.
