At his first press conference in his new gig, newly-minted House Speaker “MAGA” Mike Johnson demonstrated why the Republican Congress finally settled on him. He’s apparently willing and eager to beclown himself by assassinating logic in front of millions of people. He went on to say that slashing funding from the IRS is the fiscally responsible thing to do, even though the CBO has found that doing so would result in $26 billion in lost revenue and add to the national deficit. He’s not all bad, though. On the positive side, he’s fun to draw. He’s almost creepily young-looking, like a murderous doll from a horror movie.

Meanwhile, in Candorville, Susan’s decided to avoid the young altogether, at least when it comes to dating.
