"Pre-existing conditions" are your medical history.

UnitedHealthcare and their industry partners in crime have grotesquely contorted the bounds of logic by espousing the concept that healthcare you have received in the past can disqualify you from receiving healthcare in the future.

Analysis: "How John Roberts Brought Back Donald Trump: The Supreme Court empowered billionaires, blocked voters, & ran interference".

"Why Americans chose a demagogue to helm their democracy may be partially explained by the fact that, in many ways, the US isn’t a democracy any longer—and in many ways, that’s thanks to the Roberts court."

Latest strip. At the Lancaster, PA rally, Trump got on the subject of his mental fitness and stated “I have no cognitive. She may have a cognitive problem, but there’s no cognitive problem… Got no cognitive.”

Turns out ecologists and entomologists around the world have been warning about declining insect numbers for years. The culprits are climate change, habitat loss, light pollution, intensive farming, pesticide and fertiliser use. But it’s a struggle to get people to act.

It’s not just about bees and butterflies, the poster children of the pollinator world. Other, less photogenic pollinators such as hoverflies, moths, wasps, soldier beetles and earwigs are also showing declines. Several of these species don’t just pollinate. They also eat the pest insects that ruin crops.

Already, in the apple and pear orchards of south-west China, depleted populations of pollinators have forced farmers to hand-pollinate their trees, carrying pots of pollen and paintbrushes with which to individually pollinate every flower. If it sounds labour-intensive and time-consuming, that’s because it is.

This is my impression of #JoeBiden withdrawing from the #2024election and using ‘the force’ of his bipartisan team-building skills to help the #Resistance defeat #fascism ‘from an elevated position’. #StarWars #USpol


Latest comic: The Supreme Court ruling overturning the Chevron doctrine was largely overlooked in the wake of the debate, but possibly even more apocalyptic. In short, the Republican majority gutted the precedent that gave deference to scientists and other experts at setting regulations for air and water pollution and food safety.

Latest comic: Where's the crisis?

(Drawn before events of last week, but still relevant!)

I've been drawing strips for years about attacks on students' right to protest, yet strangely I've never been invited to give a TED Talk, speak at an "ideas festival," or pen a column for the Atlantic.

This is from 2016.

Oh, nothing much, just the queer governor of #Massachusetts quietly doing the right thing (on this and many other issues) while much of the country goes insane.

Last Week Tonight did a big food safety episode in its most recent season. LWT pointed out how jurisdictional gaps between FDA and USDA cause problems. And how underfunding is a big problem. Congress has been slashing budgets for decades.

When food safety affects children, society tends to pay more attention than when it affects adults. So regular media has been doing follow-ups on the lead contamination in applesauce.

This week's comic: The things Mike Johnson has said are so over the top that I thought I might place him in the role of my flaming conservative character (hence the flames, in case anyone was wondering about that). It’s almost impossible to exaggerate this man’s theocratic worldview, so I tried to use actual quotes where I could.

“Data shows for the first time that the peak demand for electricity this summer will exceed the amount we can generate from on-demand, dispatchable power, so we will be relying on #renewables to keep the lights on.”

But rather than fix the grid, #Republicans spent their time in the #Texas legislature trying to block renewable #energy:

Gender-affirming care—for ADULTS—is now predictably under attack in #Texas. This is part of a Republican plan of genocide underway against #trans people. We need cis allies to be loud and angry on our behalf. Pay attention, this doesn't end here or with us:
