Dear Democrats:

I’m not giving you any more money. You’re doing nothing for me. You want my vote, let alone my money? Do something to earn it. Stop begging. It doesn’t instill confidence in your ability to do shit. We’re well aware of how fucked we are and getting you elected won’t help all that much, as we have discovered.

You know what I would love to see? Emails from candidates that talked about their strategy for winning. Not just bitching and begging.

US Senator Ted Cruz on Fox News:
After Trump's approval, he revealed the content of the negotiations with Iran:
"We told Ayatollah Khamenei that they must leave the country and hand over power immediately... or they will be removed from power by force!"

Imagine being so delusional to think this is actually true.

Washington's serious warning to Baghdad!

🟡Radio Monte Carlo: The United States has told Iraq that if Iran uses Iraqi soil as a shield, the United States will attack Iraq.

🟡The 10-day countdown is no longer just for Tehran, it now applies to anyone who hosts Iranian proxy forces.

🟡After the events of 2025, the United States warned very clearly: If drones fly from Iraq, Tomahawk missiles will land in Iraq.

Journalist Hassan Al-Dar on X:
#Trump wanted to subdue Iran with threats, but it refused.
He increased intimidation & mobilization, but it persevered.
He is now convinced that his prestige is at war; the battlefields determine the results!
And if he agrees, whatever the agreement, he loses & #Iran wins!

Such language is exactly what #Israel loves to hear.

They know Trump is impulsive narcissistic jerk driven by superiority complex & entitlement.
#USpol

This will get him to react violently!

Another cartoon I came across this morning... This one from #JenSorensen (whose work also appears in #InTheseTimes).

#TradWives #SAVEAct #PoliticalCartoons #VoterID #Cartoons #USPol #VoterDisenfranchisement

A cartoon with four panels.

1. Title text: The "SAVE Our Dictatorship" Act. 
The panel depicts a white couple holding hands. The man is smiling, while the woman is puzzled. Voiceover: "Ladies! You've done the Trad thing and taken your husband's name. Guess what -- it's going to be harder for you to vote!" Woman: "Huh?"

2. Title text: The "SAVE" Act would require proof of citizenship, with only a few documents accepted. 
The panel depicts a man sitting at a desk -- Board of Elections. The white woman is showing the man at the desk documents.  Woman: "Here are my birth and marriage certificates." Man at Desk: "Sorry Ma'am, a marriage certificate doesn't count." At the same time, a white man shows the man at the desk one piece of paper. Man at Desk: "Come right through, sir!"

3. Title text: Actual voter fraud is extremely rare. Meanwhile, 69 million women no longer use their birth name. 
The panel depicts a woman of color with black curly hair. Woman of color: "You thought suffrage was safe from these people?" A box shows the words: "S.A.V.E. Super Authoritarian Vimmen Eliminator."

4. Title text: Of course, we cannot forget the ultimate goal of all this nonsense... SABOTAGE AMERICAN VOTERS' ENFRANCHISEMENT
Panel depicts a bald white man in a suit, pointing and shouting: "Look! I see a non-republican -- I mean, non-eligible voter over there!"

US Eases Nuclear Safeguards for Saudi Arabia

The U.S. has informed Congress of a potential civil nuclear agreement with Saudi Arabia, relaxing previous non-proliferation safeguards.

Reports indicate Riyadh may begin uranium enrichment on its soil as part of the deal.

This move signals a shift in U.S. policy towards nuclear cooperation in the Middle East.

The administration's report indicates it is not seeking the Additional Protocol, raising concerns among nonproliferation experts. The draft agreement leaves open the possibility of Saudi enrichment and reprocessing activities.

US Fart in Baghdad: "President Trump clearly emphasized that the Iranian regime cannot continue. Continuing the current situation will cause complete instability in the entire region."

Back in the days, they would hide these words, using CIA to do the dirty deed for them.

Now they don't care.

No one can challenge them.

No one dares to stand up to them.

But, hey, they all talk shit about orange Hitler
