published 11 July 2025

This editorial cartoon depicts Donald Trump sitting with Liberian President Joseph Boakai and is drawn in a wildly comic style. Trump holds a sippy cup and a sleeve of McDonald’s french fries. Boakai looks stunned as Trump says, “Wow! Who knew someone from a s-hole country could speak English good?”

This is a four-panel political cartoon. It shows a bulldozer clear-cutting a tree-filled forest in the first two panels. In the last two panels, the viewer is now high above the forest to see that the bulldozer has finished cutting the trees and the gaps where they used to stand spell out “TRUMP”.

This cartoon is titled “100 years-long flood”. It shows a flopped landscape where the water has formed a dollar sign. The U.S. Capital building is in the middle of the image, and a factory is in the background spewing fossil fuels that spell out CO2 in smoke.

This editorial cartoon depicts Donald Trump as a television weatherman. He’s standing in front of the camera and gestures toward a large screen with the headlines “MAGA TV NEWS: All GOOD!” and “Trump Weather Forecast.” The screen shows the state of Texas with 161 dead written on it. There are scribblings around the screen that read, “Sunny!” “Climate Change Hoax!” “Not my fault. Not DOGE fault. Not NOAA fault. Maybe Biden.” It’s signed Donald Trump and Trump says, “Love my sharpie!”

This is a three panel political cartoon. In the first panel, an angry Donald Trump shouts, “Who’s the idiot who paused aid for Ukraine?” The next panel shows Pete Hegseth raising his hand. In the final panel, Trump says, “Who’s the idiot who picked you?”

This editorial cartoon takes place at a magic show featuring “The Amazing Kash and Pam.” Pam Bondi and Kash Patel are on stage, Bondi is dressed like a magician’s assistant in a skimpy outfit and Patel in a tuxedo like a magician. Patel holds an empty box labeled “Epstein Filles” as he raises his hand like he’s just finished a trick. A member of the audience says to another, “Wow! He made them disappear!”

This political cartoon depicts a swamp. There is large snake hanging from a tree above an alligator in the water. The snake says, “Even I know housing migrants someplace called ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ is cruel and dehumanizing, and I swallow small mammals whole.”

This cartoon shows a frustrated Sen. John Fetterman sitting at his desk in the Senate during a vote for the “big, beautiful bill.” There is a song written nearby, as if he’s singing it. The song lyrics are : “Hello Faddah. Hello, Muddah. I’m stuck undah the rotunda. I’d rather have a beach vacation, than be voting on the future of the nation!”

This cartoon depicts a crowd of older people watching four older people on a stage. It looks like a spelling bee, but it isn't. A sign above the stage reads, “Spell-check bee.”

This cartoon shows Donald Trump sitting up in bed talking on the phone. An explosion is visible outside the window. Trump says into the phone, “How should I know?! And why are you asking me? Call Pete Hegseth!”
