Sunday Political Cartoons: Girl Pipe

personally i can’t wait to be in my “girl pipe” era

Well, it’s another Sunday…they seem to just pass on by rather quickly these days.

First thing:

Cherie DeVaux, the 44-year-old former pre-med student turned horse trainer has just joined a small list of females who have ever started a horse in the Derby and the first in the race's 152-year history to win it. http://www.wlky.com/article/cher…

A Puerto Rican jockey just won Americas premiere Kentucky Derby led by the 1st female trainer to win in 152 years.What a statement!

Now a few more observations:

The meaning of words means nothing to him.

This is a real post from the president during a war while gas prices are at a 4-year high and his disapproval is at an all-time high in some polls.

Withdrawing 5,000 troops from Germany only weakens the US. We weren’t there to protect Germany. MAGA is so delusional.

Of all the rooms in the world, 'The Oval Office' is certainly one that does not need a sign to announce its presence. Unless, of course, its occupant either has short-term memory problems or he needs to continually puff-up his ego … or both. Moreover, the sign could not have been more gaudy.

Cartoons via Cagle:

The cut would impact both disabled adults who live with low-income family members and older SSI recipients who live with their adult children on tight budgets.As many as 400,000 people could have their support cut or eliminated, per the Social Security Administration's estimates.

    What is happening in Louisiana right now is both a redistricting power grab and a dry run for authoritarian election subversion this Fall. The governor has declared a state of emergency to suspend the congressional elections because he doesn't like the current map.

    Project 2025 called for gutting the EPA's scientific research office. In under a year, the Trump Administration has done exactly that, taking a division of more than 1,500 scientists down to 124…

    ICYMI – HEGSETH: “The $1.5 TRILLION 2027 military budget put forward by Trump will build upon the historic $1 TRILLION 2026 military budget.”Brought to you by the same people who say Iran spends too much on bombs and missiles.

    Tomorrow morning, we will be dropping a ~12,000 word story on Paul Pressler, the alleged sexual predator who remade the Southern Baptist Convention and helped ordain the marriage between the GOP and white evangelical voters. There is *a lot* in there and I hope you'll read it.
