The United States had a deal that could have prevented Iran from getting a nuclear weapon.

Donald Trump ripped that deal up and got nothing in return.

"Tired Foxy Napping on the Deck" is the name I was given by my native tribe.

And someone in the New York effing Times recently referred to JD Vance as Trump's "likely heir apparent."

They were also worse to work with on licensed comics than some of the folks at TSR, which is saying something.

When I researched my book on the JFK assassination and the Warren Report, a conclusion I drew was that most conspiracy theories can better be explained by incompetence and ass-covering.

Kansas Sends Letters To Trans People Demanding The Immediate Surrender Of Drivers Licenses "The legislature did not include a grace period."

It seems all Kansas-issued trans drivers' licenses are invalid, effective tomorrow

It is now illegal for trans people to drive a car until they surrender their license at a DMV (that most will need to drive to) and have it reissued with the wrong gender marker

This was never about woman's sports

I saw this misuse of the term "blood libel" elsewhere and was appalled that Jewish groups are throwing it around without regard to its actual meaning.

The next Democratic candidate for president needs to talk this way.

Spend the 18 minutes to watch.

I remember when you told a seven-year-old at our show in Ann Arbor that she was just as much a cartoonist as you. And how we had her tabling the next year.

"Comics are not movies, and in some ways they're better" is something I keep telling people. Keep preaching, Joe, and good luck with the venture.

I'd like to nominate Maurice Sendak's "In the Night Kitchen" for best comic of 1970.

My brother Nat is often, and erroneously, referred to as Nate. Or at least that's been the case since Nate became a popular name. My parents wanted to refer to him as Nathaniel, but I think they decided it was better for him to have a moniker he could easily pronounce.

I suspect we're not communicating well, so let me try again. I read the original line to mean that striving immigrants are not skilled workers in the way that term is generally used. But even if not professionals or in skilled trades, those who strive to make a decent life here are welcome.

Btw, I think you're misreading "magnet for the skilled and striving." That's two distinct categories, not one: We welcome not only those who are skilled but those who are striving.

I'm quite proud of my wretched refuse heritage, and of the America that made room for my grandparents and great-grandparents.

Just backed it on your recommendation, Ron. So I know who to turn to if I'm displeased. πŸ˜‰

I read the Trump-backed voter suppression bill, the so-called β€œSave America Act,” so you don’t have to. Here’s my summary. Please tell your Senators to vote NO on this abomination: 202-224-3121. TY. 1/
