Cartoonist Ann Telnaes leaves WaPo after someone above her killed a cartoon - the first that's happened in 16 years, she says.

The cartoon shows a bunch of oligarchs kneeling before and handing sacks of money to #Trump

@brianvastag Telnaes drew a cartoon that conveys a point instantly recognizable by Americans, a cartoon that works because it shows what Americans are already thinking.

Well done to Telnaes for maintaining her integrity while her employers throw theirs away.
