Will the EU take the long view and protect their interest? Or will they continue to buy Russian oil and gas, pretending compromise is not capitulation? If the European NATO nations gather their pride and courage and defend Ukraine against Putin, whose side will Republicans take? Is Musk grand plan to convert SpaceX into ICBM-X? Perhaps he will put “Big Balls” in charge.
I love your cartoon. Felon47 is the elephant in the room and the world. People must keep calling out his lies and attempts to rewrite history and the truth. He will never change. The red color for the word Truth is not completely flattened. I liken that word and color to the rage we all feel or a fire he is trying to put out - the fire that burns within people who want to protect and defend our democracy. Symbolism is powerful! Zelensky - keep lighting that fire - maybe other countries will help it to burn bright too.
Trump wants to be known as the "one" who solved war in Ukraine and Gaza. He does not care about people or Europe. He only wants his bragging rights. How do we survive with this fool in the drivers seat?
This whole coup is a slight of hands, smoke and mirrors playbook, as I've said time and time again. We have to keep hammering that, so people don't take the soundbites as the real threat, but instead be afraid, very afraid of what's going on in the background. I was relieved (a teeny, tiny bit) to read your post tonight reporting some of the repugs alighting on Truth's side and not being afraid to say, "No, this isn't what happened. This isn't what's happening." God bless them and let's hope their resistance inspires others to join in and stand up to the lies.
You are my shero, Liza, for keeping up with this &^%$ (and for drawing amazing cartoons). Thanks to you and the likes of Heather Cox Richardson for keeping the less stable among us informed when we can no longer read past the horrific headlines.
Liza, Do you give permission for us to share one of your cartoons on our FB page, of course crediting you at Substack? As I've said before, your cartoons have a great impact.
Aside: I've been thinking about this a lot lately: If anyone knows Paul Simon (THE Paul Simon) would you please encourage him to write an ANTHEM for OUR COUNTRY? Don't we need a new anthem for us all?
Another thought: With Trump's profusion of new (and perverse) "pronouncements" I have an image of - Death by a Thousand Cuts. I watch True Crime shows, can you tell?
Just to clarify, as I reread this comment: I feel as if we, as a people, are being cut by a thousand cuts, with "t"s letting go of and firing so many workers and leaders across the nation. But we are vigilant and have faith in the checks and balances to keep us all alive.
No kidding. A tv serial “What Did You Expect” about administration 47 should have been launched a month ago. Have the writers for “The Sopranos” also been DOGEd?
three cheers for Zelensky and a prayer for Navalny- two of the bravest men we will ever know.

Another excellent comment Dawn.

We need a ":shadow" (I'd prefer a stronger name like " AMERICAN PEOPLE'S VOICE" )
government which makes it clear that this ignominious TRAITOR does not speak for us,
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE." Step up Senator Murphy!

“You haven’t seen what you’ve seen.” “You don’t know what you know.”
Remember “Alternate Facts” ? Same degenerate (attempted) imposition of will.
Such a surprise. Trump had cloistered meeting with Putin in yet another fascist country. Now Trump has his marching orders. Now we hear them.
