Another super-perceptive cartoon from Tom Tomorrow ("This Modern World")

Like Sir #TrumpVirus himself, terrific - "Perfect, really".

I've never seen Trump or his merry band of #GQP misanthropes & fascists, better captured. Like a fly on the wall....Yes, this.

"You betcha!"™️

In case you haven't noticed, or paid attention, or maybe been in a #TrumpVirus / #GQP #media induced coma....

>> The Trump administration is descending into authoritarianism

> From media to culture and the arts to the refusal to abide by court orders, we’re nearing ‘Defcon 1 for our democracy’, experts

For many, it's become too painful to watch anything at all on the TV ... lists of one evil act after another.
Flooding our zones - for years past, and newly recharged and weaponized.

This from Meidas Touch, for some #Context And #Perspective - Sorry, it's embedded in #Muskville (this video)

"Royally Zucked"

>> What Zuckerberg's capitulation means for the truth and our democracy

> "... Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Threads, will no longer fact-check user posts on its platforms..."

Instead he's going to do like Elon in #Muskville, and let #truth be crowd-sourced. A far cry from 'responsible" press enjoying 'free speech'.w/ #Truth

#Cartoon of the Day:
**Holiday Disaster averted... for now.**

But that demon elf on the shelf watches and controls the #media / #disinformation in #Muskville and beyond:

President #MuskVirus - powered by #TrumpVIrus and enabled by lack of any constraints or allegiance to #reality / #truth
Cartoon by Deering:
A family is sitting on a sofa looking blankly straight ahead (at TV?)

Behind them on the wall, above, is a shelf.
The "elf on the shelf" is clearly Elon Musk, holding up a sign:
"GOVERNMENT Shutdown"

And a bigger sign is the cartoon title, and label for the Elon elf:
"ELON the unelected ELF on EVERYBODY'S SHELF"


More #TrumpVirus #Truth ...

As the Mayor of #Muskville tries to endear himself while enjoying the COSPLAY & #RealityTV #disinfomation that their own #media propagates. Sad.

Some nice capturing of personality and reality here, IMHO.
This is a 6-frame, dense-packed panel cartoon by Tom Tomorrow.
Cannot fit all, sorry. 

Synopsis: Mayor Musk is glowing with excitement over his brilliant DOGE acronym for his department to take over the treasury intends to do. 

1ST FRAME: 
Musk: "I'M HERE IN MAR-A-LAGO TO HELP ANY WAY I CAN!"
Trump (who looks like a bulked-up orange HULK): 
"YES, TRUMP KNOW. YOU SEEM TO LIVE HERE NOW."
2:
Sir StableGenius, bulked up and looking like an orange hulk, says:
"TRUMP HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU ARE TAKING ABOUT."
3:
TRUMP: "BUT TRUMP MAKE YOU CO-CHAIR... ALONG WITH FELLOW BOOTLICKER VIVEK RAMASWAMY! KEEP YOU BOTH BUSY!.... NOTHING SAYS 'EFFICIENCY' LIKE DEPARTMENT WITH TWO LEADERS!"

4:
Musk -  morphed into Trump's Defense Dept head pick, revealing his tattoo:  "STANDING BACK AND STANDING BY, SIR!"

TRUMP: "TRUMP ALSO NEED ATTORNEY GENERAL--"

5: Behind a screeching (open-mouthed) Trump is Gaetz, and behind him, RFK Jr 

TRUMP:  .... "SOMEONE WHO WILL LET TRUMP WIPE ASS WITH THE *ACTUAL CONSTITUTION!*   
SO OBVIOUSLY TRUMP SELECT MATT GAETZ

Gaetz thanks Sir for "some very outside-the-box thinking".

TRUMP: "HA! HA! TRUMP ASO PUT ANTI-VAX GUY IN CHARGE OF H.H.S. *TRUMP OWN THE LIBS SO HARD!*

6th (Final) Frame -

Left to right: Musk, Gaetz, RFKJ & Sir 

TRUMP: "OKAY TRUMP TIRED NOW. TRUMP WANT TO WATCH TV AND TAKE NAP."

MUSK: "WOULD YOU LIKE *FIRST BUDDY* TO FLUFF YOUR PILLOW, SIR?"

TRUMP: 
" *GAH!*  DON'T YOU HAVE COMPANIES TO RUN, LEON? "

MUSK: "ELON, SIR."

TRUMP: "WHATEVER."


"Gob-smacking, Jaw-dropping, Head-slapping", says cartoonist Matt Wuerker.

And sidenote: Wuerker and Clay Jones are still on X, but Stephen King, and several cartoonists have announced they are gone, and headed to bluer skies. As the #MuskVille town square is now just one more #media bubble of #TrumpVirus
 Cartoon by Matt Wuerker

The huge statue of Abraham Lincoln in his memorial is shown with a loud "KA-BOOM" explosion, shattering the head of Lincoln, as he exclaims "&#@★!!"

In his hand is a newspaper, with a headline which reads:
"TRUMP PICKS CABINET"

The cartoon is labeled (at the base of the statue, bottom center):
"MIND-BLOWING"

Bottom right is a park ranger whose hat is blown off as he reacts in horror to the explosion.

Note on the "X" post by artist:
