The end of the rule of law
Cartoon for June 11th, 2025
Donald Trump would like you to think that he’s concerned about the Rule of Law but he’s only concerned about his rule over America.
California Governor Gavin Newsom filed a federal lawsuit against President Donald Trump for deploying 2,000 National Guard troops to Los Angeles without the state's consent, calling it an unconstitutional violation of the 10th Amendment. The lawsuit argues that Trump overstepped his authority by invoking military power during immigration protests. California contends that the move escalated tensions rather than calming them and that federal law requires the governor’s approval for such deployment, which was not given. This marks the first instance since 1965 of a president sending a state's National Guard over the objections of its governor.

Oh gawd! I've seen her illustrated many ways, but Trump burying Lady Liberty is devastating. You've put pen to paper & illustrated a communal fear that this tempestuous term is burying any hope for the reclamation of Democracy. Despondency is hard to fight, MdA. ⚖️🕯🇺🇸
I think that TACO's behaviour will get worse but...I think the whole Country will rise up and fight back when they realize he's trying to steal their Republic out from under them.
