For 25 years, the last 10 with The Post, I’ve drawn editorial cartoons. Some administrations provide more fodder for creating satirical drawings than others, but never before have I felt the constant need to draw.

I live in Washington, and while sirens and flashing warning lights are common, there seems to be an increase lately — although it could be the ones in my head I’m noticing. Politicians’ dog whistles have turned into megaphones, lies are deflected with screams of “fake news” and crass egotism is in residence at the White House.
