Speaker Kevin McCarthy has handed thousands of hours of footage from inside the Capitol during the attack on January 6, 2021, over to Fox News' Tucker Carlson. In doing so, he's denying reality. McCarthy said, "Sunshine lets everybody make their own judgment." But this isn't sunshine, Sunshine. Sunshine Week was started in 2005 by the... Continue Reading →
Kevin McCarthy is abusing his power as Speaker of the House. Of course, the only way he could secure enough votes from the extremists in his party was to make deals to abuse his power. The Speaker of the House has the power to remove members from select committees and he's done that with Democratic... Continue Reading →
Let's make one thing clear. What happened on January 6, 2021, was a terrorist attack against our country. It was an insurrection by white nationalists to overturn a free democratic election and install an unelected dictator. It was a coup attempt. It was an attack designed to stop the certification of the election, a duty... Continue Reading →
Here’s your cartoon for this week’s CNN Opinion newsletter. Please sign up to get these in your inbox every Sunday Kevin McCarthy said he didn't make any deal with Matt Gaetz to give him the chairmanship of a House Armed Services subcommittee, but expect Gaetz to land the chairmanship with McCarthy fumbling out some sort of reasoning...

The most shocking thing about a congressman trying to punch Matt Gaetz in his ridiculous-looking face is that it's the first time it's ever happened...as far as we know.

One thing that's for certain is that McCarthy enters the office as the weakest Speaker in House history. There are actually a lot of certainties with this, one being that the Goon Caucus or Chaos...

I told you I wasn't going to draw a Groundhogs Day cartoon, but I'm breaking my rule. I didn't want to use Groundhog Day to comment on the current debacle of Republicans being unable to elect a Speaker of the House. I felt it was too much of a cliché since everyone on all the... Continue Reading →
Anytime I hear someone on a news show use an analogy or metaphor to describe an issue, that rules out my using the metaphor in a cartoon. During the Republican primaries in 2016, I may have been the only cartoonist in the country who didn't draw a clown car. Chris Wallace used the term about... Continue Reading →
Republicans have made a lot of promises about how they'll use their House majority. They're going to close the border, go after "unelected" bureaucrats, they're going to cut spending, they're gonna conduct multiple investigations after more investigations, blah, blah, blah. Legislate and govern? They can't even get through the door. Yesterday, two members of the... Continue Reading →
Republicans are so tone-deaf that they don't see it's a bad idea to have their caucus led by a guy named McCarthy. Back in the 1950s, Wisconsin Republican Senator Joseph McCarthy used the Cold War to paint people he didn't like as communists and focused on people in government, universities, and the film industry. He... Continue Reading →
