This cartoon depicts two male Republican legislators outside the capitol building. They are protected by armed soldiers as they carry papers that read the “Big beautiful bill” and “Epstein coverup”. One Republican says, “I feel safer with all these National Guard troops protecting us from our constituents."

This Donald Trump cartoon depicts a grossly overweight Trump glaring at a map of the world on an easel. A man in a suit points at the map and says, “I did some research Mr. President, and, unfortunately, we can’t redistrict Sweden so you can win the Nobel Peace Prize. Apparently, it’s not even part of Texas.”
