1. Project 1025 1. REMEMBER THIS GUY, THE ARCHITECT OF PROJECT 2025? "THE SECOND AMERICAN REVOLUTION... WILL REMAIN BLOODLESS IF THE LEFT ALLOWS IT TO BE." JD VANCE WROTE THE FOREWORD TO HIS NEW BOOK 2. SO, WHAT IS THIS "SECOND REVOLUTION," ANYWAY? FOR STARTERS, PROJECT 2025 WOULD DELETE THESE TERMS FROM EVERY FEDERAL RULE, LAW, GRANT, AND CONTRACT. "abortion" "reproductive rights" "reproductive health" "gender" "sexual orientation and gender identity" FORBIDDEN 3. IT WOULD "UNWIND" CLIMATE INITIATIVES, END STUDENT LOAN FORGIVENESS PROGRAMS, ABOLISH THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION, AND LEGALIZE CHILD LABOR. CEO OF MEATPACKING COMPANY WITH CHILD WORKER - A CHILD'S PLACE IS AT THE MEAT GRINDER. 4. SO THIS IS NOT A PLAN FOR THE FUTURE, BUT A TRIP TO THE DISTANT PAST. COME 2025, DO YOU WANT TO WAKE UP BEING RULED BY PEOPLE FROM 1025? © 2024 Jen Sorensen

1. DON'T TAKE THE BAIT JD Vance admitted to "creating stories" to drive news coverage. Vance: Outrageously inflammatory lie to get everyone talking about our favorite "issue" which is actually just a bigger pile of dangerous lies. How to respond without feeding into their ploy? 1. Ask: what kind of creep would demonize innocent people as a campaign strategy? Vance in front of school with sign saying SCHOOL CLOSED DUE TO THREATS: How disgusting to suggest we had anything to do with this. 2. Also ask: Why do their tech billionaire backers seem OK with tearing the nation apart? Shadowy figure pressing buttons on the Vance-o-matic control panel: It's definitely not so we can take over the government and play god with infinite wealth and power. 3. Every time they bring up the "story," mention something real that IS harming Americans. "At least two women in Georgia died after they couldn't access legal abortions and timely medical care" -- ProPublica Trump in debate with Kamala Harris: Everybody wanted this! Harris gives him skeptical look

1. AI GONE MAD 1. AI has been feeding on the creative efforts of humans for a while. We provide "grass" for this hungry digital bovine. Shown: pixelated cow labeled COWGPT 2. But as the internet increasingly becomes filled with AI-generated content, AI is consuming itself. Researchers at Rice University have compared the resulting data corruption to mad cow disease, spread by cows eating other cows. Cow eating ground up cow with hoof sticking out 3. They say "without enough fresh real data, future generative models are doomed to madness." (Model Autophagy Disorder) Cows eating other cows, devolving into multiple legged three eyed AI cows 4. Is this really the dream of the future? A diseased digital brain full of misfolded data prions leading us to certain death? 1990s - Woman using Netscape Navigator: The whole world is connected! Soon - Waking away from laptop as frothing cow emerges from screen: I think I'll read a book.

Reporter in diner interviewing guy in a Harris-Walz t-shirt: You're from a small midwestern town... and you're pro-choice and pro-union? Diner guy: You've been hanging out in the wrong diners, buddy. 3. Reporter in field interviewing woman: But--but--rural folks aren't progressive! Woman: Have you studied the history of farmers' and labor movements at all, my dude? 4. Reporter holding up MAGA hat to bearded guy: Come on -- don't you like MAGA just a teeny bit? Put on this hat and say something adorably rude. Guy: When do I get my valorizing puff piece? Reporter: Not until you put on the hat.

Mr. Perkins - WOMAN, WHY AREN'T YOU AT HOME WITH YOUR BABIES? 2. Anchor - So, let's talk about what Trump's second term would be like. Mr. Perkins - WE WILL PURGE THE VERMIN AND SMITE THE UNHUMANS IN OUR GLORIOUS NEW REICH! 3. Dan - If I may speak, that sounds a little scary and authoritarian. Anchor - This just in -- someone attempted to shoot the former president, but he is fine. 4. Dan - I'm glad he's okay. Mr. P - THIS IS YOUR FAULT FOR CALLING US AUTHORITARIAN! Anchor - Both of you need to turn down the temperature!

1. 1. After the Supreme Court ruled in favor of presidential immunity, the head of the highly influential Heritage Foundation said this: Roberts wearing Project 2025 pin: "We are in the process of the second American revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be." 2. All pro-democracy Americans are being put in the role of domestic abuse victim. Man in armchair drinking beer threatening wife walking by with laundry basket in background - Woman, don't make me angry and I won't hurt you. 3. By this logic, the opposition is always the provocateur. Young man in red ballcap with AR15 after having shot protester who was holding DEMOCRACY NOT MONARCHY sign - The protester made me do it! 4. So if you're not on board with insurrection, you're the insurrectionist -- not this guy. Insurrectionist - It'll be bloodless after there's no left left!

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.

1. 1. After Biden's widely panned debate performance, a bombshell dropped. Supreme Court justice John Roberts - Yo ho ho! From now on, everyone's favorite court will control the entire regulatory apparatus of the federal government! J-ROB out! FOOTNOTE - Overturning 40-year-old Chevron doctrine Justice Elena Kagan slaps forehead in frustration 2. Media reaction was swift. Pundit - Only someone with cognitive failure would put these judges in charge of the science of clean air and water. Pundit 2 - They're clearly unfit to run the court, let alone the EPA and FDA! 3. Newspaper headline on front page of the Press-Pontificator - FOR THE GOOD OF THE COUNTRY, WE MUST IMPEACH THE CORRUPT JUSTICES AND EXPAND THE SUPREME COURT Foreign diplomats issued statements. Diplomat - A disaster. 4. Sarcasm aside, the top criteria for evaluating any presidential nominee should be, will you fight to expand the court? Auditioning candidate at candidate tryouts - We must be very careful about respecting the legitimacy of -- Director sitting in director chair - NEXT! Meanwhile, SCOTUS pronounces Trump king!

1. SHELL GAME 1. It's easy to imagine that Red Lobster's bankruptcy was due to an ill-advised promotion. Man tossing prawns into mouth: ENDLESS SHRIMP! 2. But far more damaging was being bought by a private equity firm that sold off its land and buildings. Private equity executive holding a lobster: Lobster is so much tastier when you remove the shell! 3. The cost of leasing back its stores was much greater than the losses from the promotion. Two piles of shrimp, with one shrimp equal to $1 million Shrimp deal $11 million Rent $200 million 4. Looting business after business -- it's an all-you-can-eat special for private equity. Private equity executive eating fast food buildings with WHITE MOBSTER sign in background: MORE CHAIN RESTAURANTS!

Younger brown guy pointing to old white guy in MAGA hat and Trump t-shirt: It might help if they stopped wearing those funny hats.

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.

1. THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO GUIDE TO FREE SPEECH Some clarifications to our weekly letter mandating “freedom of expression” on campus Are you from a dominant social group saying “politically correct” things? That is speech. We’ll protect it! Are you from a minority group protesting something said by the previous group? (Woman holds up sign saying “That was racist.”) Proceed with caution, you coddled millennial. Are you an invited speaker to whom we are paying a hefty fee, and also a war criminal/online harasser/extreme bigot/anti-science kook? We’ve got your back! Want to peacefully protest your university granting legitimacy to this person? (Students holding sign saying “Disinvite the bigot”) Sorry, voicing that opinion is not speech. We are VERY, VERY concerned about “trigger warnings.” (Shout out to right-wing donors!) (Corporate guy with dollars in hand says “Yeah!”) But no need to mention the problem of campus sexual assault. Are you an LGBT student looking for a place where you don’t have to worry about being harassed? Sorry, no “safe spaces,” you wimps! Wait, we already have those? Oops!
