Welcome to the Good News debate/smackdown afterparty. We don’t know why this Wednesday’s GNR went missing, but we definitely know what to do about it. Celebrate! Check out the Single Cat Lady endorsement above! Watch Kamala Harris laugh out loud at the Don-Old, or look at him pityingly as the moderators fact check him. Even Fox Noise had to admit that she got the better of the exchanges, even as some tried to spin and spin like tops and whirlagigs.
Indictment/Arraignment/Setting Trial Dates Season has been officially open for months. Indictment, screaming, surrender watch, screaming, arraignment, screaming, trial, screaming, sentencing, screaming. Lather, rinse, repeat. Whatever they scream about loudest, do more of.
Welcome to today’s Emergency Potluck Good News Roundup! We may not know why there is no regular GNR posted today, but we know for sure that the Best Comment Section on the Internet can handle it. Feel free to mine the links below for stories worth highlighting. And add music, pooties, woozles and whatever else cheers you up and readies you for the fray.
Opening Music
As someday it may happen that an author must be found,
I’ve made a little list, I’ve made a little list,
Of sources of the best Good News that everywhere is found,
So that none of it is missed, so none of it is missed!Oh, Lordy, there are tapes and now subpoenas by the score!
And witnesses in hundred lots and documents and more!
And animals and science facts and “Biden gets things done”!
Republicans in disarray—in chaos! Oh, what fun!
Cartoons to make you laugh or cry and weirdness, we insist.
We make sure they don’t get missed, they’ll none of ‘em be missed.We’ve got them on the list—we’ve got them on the list,
So they’ll none of them be missed, they’ll none of them be missed.
Gilbert’s original lyrics in The Mikado included
And apologetic statesmen of a compromising kind
Such as — What d'ye call him — Thing'em-bob,
And likewise — Never-mind,
And 'St—'st—'st— and What's-his-name,
And also You-know-who —
The task of filling up the blanks I'd rather leave to you.
But it really doesn't matter whom you put upon the list,
For they'd none of 'em be missed — they'd none of 'em be missed!
Good News for Us
It turns out that
- Wrong-Wing overreach is our best weapon in the next election cycle.
- They are still driving out millions of their own children every year, and now they are going after their own women and elders.
- Immigration is good for us, but threatens Rs with many millions of new voters.
- Our prospects in 2024 are excellent. (Remember, repetition is good. I repeat, repetition is good.)
- We are beating back voter suppression in the courts and through GOTV.
- The DOJ has plans to arrest another thousand election terrorists.
- Marc Elias, the ACLU, the NAACP LDF, and others are on top of the states asserting a right to overturn Presidential elections and name their own electors.
- Dems are getting our messages out.
- Some in the MSM are at last taking notice, most notably at MSNBC, but even a bit at the NYT.
- Rs are no longer in disarray—It’s total chaos and fog of internal civil war now.
And there’s plenty more where that came from.

Rabidly Repellent Republicans Rushing to Ruin/Bad News for Them
Liars and Cheaters and Thieves, Oh My
That part hasn’t changed at all except that nearly all of them now belong to warring factions of only one party. But that’s all bad news, and we can simply concentrate on throwing the entire Party of Rascality out.
Or to a large extent, allowing them to throw themselves and each other under the electric bus.

Library of Congress: Cartoon Prints, American
This assemblage of more than 800 prints made in America during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries encompasses several forms of political art. Most of the prints are from the division's PC/US series, which consists of individually cataloged political cartoons and caricatures. All of the prints meet two criteria: they were originally designed to express sentiments relating to civic life and government in the United States and they were individually issued prints. Illustrations from books and magazines are not included in this collection. Additional historical prints from the division's Popular Graphic Arts series that treat political subjects, humorously or otherwise, are displayed separately in the Prints & Photographs Online Catalog as part of the the Popular Graphic Arts group.

The Ungentlemanly Art: Political Illustrations
Art Wood, an award-winning political cartoonist himself, collected more than 16,000 political cartoons by hundreds of the leading creators.
