Will We Ever Get Post-Trump? | DMZ America Podcast | Ep 258 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Ted’s latest column drops today — and this DMZ America is built around it. Left-leaning cartoonist Ted Rall and right-leaning Chicago Tribune cartoonist Scott Stantis will take apart Ted’s argument that beating Trump is not the same as erasing him. Will America ever be able to move past Trump? In the column, Ted says politics is war: if the statues, appointees, agencies, place names, and wars stay standing, the last president still wins. He wants the next Democratic nominee to promise a full tea
Grand Theft A.I.: Baltimore Sun Outsources Cartooning - w/ Rick McKee | DMZ America Podcast | Ep 257 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
DMZ Co-hosts Ted Rall (from the Left) and Scott Stantis (from the Right) take aim at a new threat that may destroy editorial cartooning once and for all.

The nation’s highest court, once presumed to be nonpartisan, has become brazenly political. In Trump v. United States (July 1, 2024), the Court created absolute immunity for “core” constitutional powers by former presidents (pardons, vetoes, commanding the military, directing the Justice Department),
STFU: Censorship Is Go! | DMZ America Podcast | Ep 254 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Everywhere you look, people are getting told to STFU by censors afraid that truth-tellers might expose or offend them. At Stars and Stripes , the Pentagon has fired editor Erik Slavin, publisher Max Lederer and Middle East reporter Lara Korte have been fired by the Pentagon. Not for anything they actually published or wanted to publish. Slavin told an interviewer he would fight “ hypothetical censorship .” The DOD called that theoretical stance “ insubordination .” A song by Elizaveta Gyrdymova
