31.12.2024 ⇢ Treasury's Chinese Breach Under Carter's Shadow
⌨
The Chinese breach of Treasury systems through third-party software emerged as morning headlines competed with preparations for Carter's state funeral. The administration confirmed unclassified documents were accessed, while details of January 9th Capitol ceremonies emerged.
By afternoon, reporting shifted to Puerto Rico's island-wide power outage affecting 1.3 million residents on New Year's Eve. The identification of Debrina Kawam as NYC subway arson victim redirected coverage, coinciding with reports of another subway attack involving a pushed passenger.
Evening coverage centered on heightened security for New Year's celebrations, particularly in NYC following recent attacks. The Treasury breach narrative evolved with details of document theft, while court decisions preserved plea options for 9/11 defendants. Tesla's replacement of American workers with H-1B visa holders emerged as significant business news, connecting to broader immigration debates from previous days.

New quantum microchips are raising the possibility that the multiverse, something that was to be found only in comic books and sci-fi, could in fact be real. For those trying to keep up with American politics this isn’t really news. We seem to be cracking up, in so many different ways, into different cultural and political tribes, different media eco systems, different political planets. Our parallel universes are now fragmenting into many new galaxies. It makes it hard to keep up and navigate through the nebulous nebulas, the belts of idiocy and bottomless black holes of hubris. We're headed into a whole new political solar system. My mission, as a political cartoonist, is to explore these new uncharted worlds, to seek out new irony and fresh hypocrisies, to boldly go where no other cartoonists have gone before. Here are the latest entries from my cartoon log of the year 2024.
