Rand Paul’s Dirty Pool


In case you don't know, Rand Paul has tested positive for the coronavirus. He's the first senator to test positive and most likely, not the last. Especially since Rand Paul was the first. While waiting for his test results, Rand worked out in the Senate gym and swam in the Senate pool. He also met... Continue Reading →

Sketchy Senate Stock Sales


Insider trading is trading in the stock market on confidential information. It's not just frowned upon or a no-no. It's illegal.  It's especially worse when done by elected officials because they're supposed to use classified information to help the country, not help themselves. Several senators are being accused of insider trading after dumping stocks before... Continue Reading →

To Solemnly Lickspittle


I spent last Thursday morning nauseous and queasy from food poisoning. This morning, I was looking up photos of Senate Republicans, so yeah...another Thursday morning feeling nauseous and queasy. Senate Republicans have already abandoned the oath they swore to when they took office. You know, that quaint idea of protecting and defending the United States... Continue Reading →

Premature Republicans


Is anyone surprised that Mitch McConnell, Lindsey Graham, and other Senate Republicans are promising to violate an oath before they even swear to it? Of course not as these are the same Republicans who have given up on everything they used to believe in. Remember when they claimed to believe in family values, the military,... Continue Reading →

Here’s your cartoon for CNN’s weekly newsletter, Provoke/Persuade. Please sign up to get these in your inbox every Sunday for the rest of your life. After Donald Trump is impeached by the House of Representatives, there will be a trial in the Senate. There, every United States Senator (in case you're a Republican, there are 100 of them), will...

Mississippi White Vote


Once upon a time in Mississippi, general elections were mere formalities. If you won your party's primary, you won the election. That is if your party was the Democratic Party. My career started in Mississippi and I lived there from 1990 to 1997. Once, I was present when some Democrats were on trial for something... Continue Reading →

Hiding Behind A Skirt


During yesterday's 80-minutes long rambling word salad of a press conference that may have actually been a public service announcement on the effects of mixing Rogaine with Diet Coke, Trump hinted that he's open to ditching his Supreme Court nominee, Brett Kavanaugh. In fact, there may be several Republicans kinda hoping today's hearing with Kavanaugh... Continue Reading →

Kavanaugh’s Conundrum


Brett Kavanaugh should not be confirmed for the Supreme Court, where Trump's last nominee, Neil Gorsuch also shouldn't be currently sitting for the rest of his life. The Republicans stole an appointment from President Barack Obama. They wouldn't even let his nominee, Merrick Garland, a man they had previously confirmed for a lower court, on... Continue Reading →

A Blank In West Virginia


I am no fan of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. But I don't need to lie or connect him to something horrible he has a very loose connection with to criticize the guy. I can just use his record and the positions he advocates. If nothing else, I can just point out his total appeasement... Continue Reading →

Red Carpet Treatment


I hate to see Al Franken resign from the United States Senate. Franken is a champion for progressive causes and his voice is needed in the Senate, and especially on the Judiciary Committee. He's the Senator asking questions Trump nominees don't want to answer. Ask Jeff Sessions about his perjury. Franken has an analytical mind,... Continue Reading →
