Sunday Cartoons: What is this? Some kind of freak off?

It’s Sunday, and the rumors of Trump’s death sadly were just that…rumors.
That is just a few of the examples of the reactions across the web.
Did you know there was a thing they follow…on late night pizza deliveries to the pentagon ?
Seriously…
I came across this yesterday, it was so weird I had to share.
This is not crazy, but fucked up:

Resigned health official: ‘I only see harm coming’
Demetre Daskalakis said the line between science and ideology has become hopelessly blurred.
““I only see harm coming,” said Demetre Daskalakis in an interview that aired Sunday about his departure from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Speaking to host Martha Raddatz on ABC’s “This Week,” Daskalakis discussed his resignation as director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, which came after the ouster last week of CDC Director Susan Monarez, a Trump appointee who came in to conflict with Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on vaccinations. Three other top health officials also resigned.”

Trump’s budget cuts are making another Hurricane Katrina disaster more likely
Parts of the $15 billion flood protection system built after Katrina are already weakening. At the same time, federal budget cuts are gutting the levee inspection program.
“As the congressman for New Orleans, I cannot let the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina pass without warning the nation.
Katrina was more than a storm. It was a failure of government at every level. Eighty percent of New Orleans was under water, nearly 2,000 lives were lost and families were scattered across the country. That tragedy was supposed to teach us lessons about preparedness, resilience and responsibility. Yet two decades later, troubling signs suggest those lessons are being forgotten.
Scientists now tell us that sections of our floodwalls are sinking — some faster than the seas are rising. This means that parts of the $15 billion system built after Katrina are already weakening. At the same time, federal budget cuts are gutting the levee inspection program. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers once inspected New Orleans’ levees every year. Now, because of cuts pushed through by President Donald Trump and the Republican Party, the Corps says it may only be able to do full inspections every five years — if funding is available.
These cuts are part of Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill.” They slash programs designed to keep communities safe in order to fund giveaways for the wealthy. In the very city where broken levees drowned entire neighborhoods, and people who lived in them, Washington is now cutting back the very oversight that keeps those levees strong.
This is reckless. It threatens people’s lives in the city I grew up in and love. And it cannot stand.”

Kristi Noem confirms plan to expand ICE operations in major cities
The DHS secretary’s comments come after Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson threatened legal action against any surge of federal law enforcement or National Guard troops in the city.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem confirmed Sunday that the Trump administration plans to expand Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations in major cities, including Chicago.
Asked about plans to expand ICE operations in Chicago specifically, Noem told CBS News’ “Face the Nation,” “We’ve already had ongoing operations with ICE in Chicago and throughout Illinois and other states, making sure that we’re upholding our laws, but we do intend to add more resources to those operations.”
Asked about what an expansion of ICE operations would look like in Chicago and whether it would involve a mobilization of National Guard troops to assist with immigration raids and arrests, Noem demurred, saying, “That always is a prerogative of President [Donald] Trump and his decision. I won’t speak to the specifics of the operations that are planned in other cities.”
Her remarks come one day after Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson signed an executive order directing his city’s legal department to explore ways to counter a potential surge in federal law enforcement and National Guard troops to Illinois.
During a press conference Saturday, Johnson warned that Chicago officials had “received credible reports that we have days, not weeks, before our cities see some type of militarized activity by the federal government.”
Earlier this month, the Trump administration directed federal law enforcement officers, including those employed by ICE, to assist police in Washington, D.C., with crime-fighting operations. That surge of resources included thousands of National Guard troops who were deployed to the nation’s capital with the stated goal of lowering crime rates.
Following the movement of troops and law enforcement officers to Washington, Trump threatened to send federal officers and troops to other major American cities, including Baltimore.
Later in the Sunday interview, Noem was asked whether Boston would be one of the cities where the federal government would surge immigration enforcement agents.
“There’s a lot of cities that are dealing with crime and violence right now, and so we haven’t taken anything off the table,” she said, adding later: “I’d encourage every single big city — San Francisco, Boston, Chicago, whatever they are — if they want to help make their city safer, more prosperous, allow people the opportunity to walk in freedom like the people of Washington, D.C., are now … they should call us.”
I consider it very ironic thatshe says people in DC “walk in freedom” when it truly looks like a police state there and the people are protesting daily.

Judge orders administration to halt deportation of hundreds of Guatemalan children
A federal judge rushed an emergency hearing after learning that the Trump administration was moving to deport children to Guatemala despite an order she had issued earlier Sunday.
Washington Post:
“The Trump administration on Sunday grounded planes carrying migrant children that the White House intended to deport to Guatemala after a federal judge issued an emergency order temporarily blocking any removal of about 600 unaccompanied minors.
“Judge Sparkle L. Sooknanan of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia said she learned from plaintiffs that the administration was putting hundreds of unaccompanied minors onto flights on Sunday morning despite an order she issued earlier in the day barring officials for 14 days from deporting 10 children named in a lawsuit. As a result, she moved up a hearing to early Sunday afternoon and extended her pause to cover the roughly 600 children from Guatemala at risk of deportation to their country of origin.
“‘I have the government attempting to remove minor children from the country in the wee hours of the morning on a holiday weekend,’ Sooknanan said. ‘That’s surprising.’”
