This is a political cartoon set in a child’s room at bedtime. A mother is reading a story to a frightened child. The story she reads comes from a book written by Senator Joni Ernst called “WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE!” The back cover of the book shows Ernst with a “I’m pro-life” button. The mother says, “The end! Good to know that the people in charge care about you. Sleep tight!”
