Clad like a warrior woman, beckoning on her enemies with her war cry of “New party, who dis?” Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has made the leap from Congress to the pages of a comic book. Out in May from independent US press Devil’s Due Comics – which is quick to point out that Ocasio-Cortez has not endorsed the project – Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and the Freshman Force is, according to its publisher, a “satire that takes aim at Washington” and “spare[s] no one”. Its cover shows the new congresswoman, smartphone in hand, in defiant pose in front of the White House; a variant cover replaces her white suit and phone with a superhero outfit and a sword. The cartoon president – Trump has wielded power in comics for years Read more Ocasio-Cortez has previously revealed herself to be a comics fan, taking time out from launching her Green New Deal in January to quote Watchmen creator Alan Moore in a tweet to her detractors: “None of you understand. You’re locked up in here with ME.” “It’s no secret that AOC has become the unofficial leader of the new school, and has sparked life back into Washington and that’s reflected in the enthusiasm on display by the men and women contributing to this project,” Devil’s Due publisher Josh Blaylock told Comic Book Resources. “While we all don’t agree on everything, we share a common excitement for the breath of fresh air the new Congress brings. I hope this is as much a cathartic release for readers as it has been for us creators.” Contributors to the comic, an anthology of stories featuring Ocasio-Cortez, include Jill Thompson and Jose Garibaldi. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to military support non-profit United Service Organisation, and to immigrant legal services provider RaicesTexas.org. “Grab a hamberder and cup of covfefe and prepare to enjoy this read! “ said Devil’s Due, which previously published Barack the Barbarian: No F#¢*s Left!, a comic that transformed the former US president into a superhero battling “Boosh the Dim” and “Cha-nee the Grim”.

Biden’s son Beau Biden and another giant of the Senate who both men called a friend, Ted Kennedy, died of the same aggressive tumor. McCain “could not stand the abuse of power wherever he saw it, in whatever form, in whatever country”, Biden said. No speakers uttered Donald Trump’s name, but Biden was not the only one to make what some saw as a veiled reference to the president. Amid personal memories, there were references to current political divisions – and to the presidency of Trump, which deeply troubled the senator. “He would not stand by as people tried to trample the constitution or the Bill of Rights, including the first amendment.” Earlier, as a motorcade made the eight-mile journey from the state capitol to the church, Vietnam veterans in wheelchairs joined children holding American flags along the route, waving goodbye. Five days of services began in Phoenix on Wednesday, which would have been McCain’s 82nd birthday. A single-file procession wound through the copper-domed capitol, where McCain’s body lay in state. ‘It's going to be difficult to fill his shoes’: Arizona remembers John McCain Read more On Thursday, McCain’s body was flown to Washington, where he will lie in state at the US Capitol on Friday.

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—Shortly after he declared that he would have run into a Florida high school unarmed to thwart a mass shooting, Donald J. Trump announced that he was planning a parade in Washington, D.C., to celebrate his hypothetical act of heroism. “Anyone can act with bravery in the moment,” Trump told reporters in the White House. “But it takes a very special kind of hero to tell people about the incredibly brave thing he would have done weeks after the thing happened.” He added that it was one of his greatest regrets that bone spurs prevented him from serving in the Vietnam War, “because the really courageous things I would have done during that war would have been off the charts.” “As soon as the Tet Offensive happened, I would have run unarmed right into that mess,” he said. “We probably would have won the war right after I did that.” Trump said that the parade he was ordering would honor not only him but all of America’s “last responders.” According to a new poll, Trump’s assertion that he would have run into the Florida high school unarmed was believed by his daughter Ivanka.
