The midterms can’t get here fast enough and God Bless Norm Eisen, every democracy defender, LULAC, Ann Telnas, and everyone who keeps reminding us what we’re fighting for.

I am in total agreement! I would have "liked" this comment 100 times if I could have.

What do you think will happen? It worries me people are putting everything on this day.

"Preparing for federal interference in the 2026 midterm elections"

Brennan Center For Justice

There was no hyperlink. Just type in the title.

I understand why you’re worried. I’m a cancer survivor and I have learned worry is futile and a waste of my time and energy. There are great and kind people in our country. I’m choosing to be a believer.

Barbara Mullen's avatar

I am not worried. My hope is people prepare, urge their State, elected officials and people at the polls to be prepared. Let's not be naive about what we are facing.

I'd bet Judge Mehta had the same, icy, pit in his stomach that the rest of us had after the ruling. I'm betting on the mid-terms. If the scum is not mitigated after that.............I'm worried, as well. Worry helps me to work things out. I take a break from it, usually with other Democrat friends I have made in this new community. We have opened a county Democrat party office, stuffing bags with candidate's cards for canvassing today, volunteering a couple of hours to staff it. It helps to put the worry to work. Helps me, greatly.

So sad and so true, Ann. It is unbelievable and getting worse by the day. I am so very afraid for the midterm election. The orange convicted felon can't possibly let it happen to be free and fair. He already knows impeachment #3 is in his future.

True, he may be impeached for a third time, but will the Senate convict? I mean, why bother? He fears no law. "L'État, c'est moi." If I live to 100, I will never understand how this could have happened at all, ever. I wonder if we will ever learn what he has on them.

Nothing, really. It's what they don't have: shame, morals, character, ethics....

Imma stop before I lapse into my favorite vulgarities.

Of course they won't convict -- but the Dems can't AFFORD not to do all they can to protest. It will also help dunk the GOP in elections if they refuse to go along -- and make Vance more nervous when he becomes POTUS 48 ... in the not-too-distant future.

In December. And this time don't dawdle.

The Dems shouldn't waste their time on impeachment proceedings. They need to put their collective brains and weight behind investigations.

Welcome to Opposite World where bad is good, up is down and constant theft is perpetrated by the President and first family.

I say I "like" this cartoon, because it's so on point, but it actually makes me want to cry.

BigDaddy52's avatar

I'm with you!

Please spread the word and help me lobby Substack to add AGREE key for the stuff that's true, but extremely 'unlikable'.

Phil Johnson's avatar

Likewise. And I thought Nixon was bad...

Too painful to look at and read.....We are in the netherworld....

We are living in a dystopian version of Alice in Wonderland where down is up left is right and all facts are alternative.

This horrific dark place. When people say "Here we are"---THIS is where we are. In a deep dark hole that leads to nowhere. Our so-called Department of Homeland Security (Gen. Counsel James Percival) is actually publishing a social media list (July 2026) called the "worst of the worst"----attacking judges. Yes, judges. Judges who don't rule in their favor. Death threats, doxing, threats against judges' family members ensue. Don't we all feel more secure? Can a list of the worst of the worst opposition cartoonists be in the offing? Probably Ann has already experienced some of this. I can only thank you again, Ann, for your courage and honesty.

Absolutely horrifying.

Of all the horrendous things djt and his acolytes have done, and continue to do, the pardons of the j6 is one of the most egregious. I’m absolutely flummoxed that people continue to support this djt regime. Sickening to know millions of Americans have absolutely no shame and absolutely no decency. Police personnel were beaten with flag poles etc. And yet these ICE protesters get jail sentences I just do not understand.

Cory Sewelson's avatar

We here appreciating your work are outraged. What's wrong with the Americans who can't see what is wrong here.

NOBODY IS COMING TO SAVE US.

GET OUT THE BLUE VOTE!

They're Trump's Brownshirts, while DHS/ICE/CBP are the Gestapo. They're all scum. And hypocrites.

Doctor Dumb and his legion of evildoers have no sense of right and wrong. It is incumbent upon people who do to vote against them in numbers that make it impossible for them to cheat successfully. It will not be a walk in the park.

Thank you Ms. Telnaes. You always hit the bullseye!
