A political cartoon shows Donald Trump sitting on Vladimir Putin's lap. Trump holds a toy truck with a red phone attached that is labeled &quot;UKRAINE PEACE TALKS.&quot; Trump says, &quot;VLADIMIR, STOP! OR WE'RE WALKING OUT!&quot;

This cartoon takes place outside where a bulldozer labeled "UTAH ELECTEDS," is driven by three smiling figures representing Utah politicians. The bulldozer is facing a person in a ranger-like hat standing next to a sign that reads "PUBLIC LANDS." One of the politicians in the bulldozer is speaking, with a speech bubble saying, "WE JUST WANT TO DO A LITTLE OFF-ROADING."

This political cartoon takes place at a bargaining table in Turkey. Volodymyr Zelenskyy sits at left. On the right, the Grim Reaper is cloaked and holding a scythe. The Grim Reaper says, &quot;I'LL BE FILLING IN FOR PUTIN...&quot;

This two panel political cartoon depicts Donald Trump and Elon Musk in the left panel. Trump, holding a sippy cup, says, &quot;We're replacing the national weather service with something better.&quot; The right panel shows a copy of the Springfield Shopper newsletter with a front page story headlined &quot;OLD MAN YELLS AT CLOUD&quot; with a photo of Grandpa Simpson from the Simpsons TV show yelling at a cloudl.

This two panel political cartoon depicts James Comey and a female with a notepad in both panels. At left, Comey says, &quot;I posted the '8647' shell photo on Instagram. I'll call that a lapse in judgment.&quot; In the second panel, Comey says, &quot;I didn't realize those numbers might suggest violence to some people.&quot; The woman responds, &quot;I'll call that a lapse in honesty.&quot;

This political cartoon is split into two panels. The left panel, labeled "Ceasefire," depicts a peaceful city scene under a clear blue sky with fluffy clouds. The right panel, labeled "Russian Ceasefire," shows the same city under a dark, smoky sky filled with falling bombs and explosions, indicating ongoing destruction despite the declared ceasefire.

A man and a woman are in a grocery store aisle, both looking exasperated. The man pushes a shopping cart overflowing with groceries, while the woman gestures with her hands as she speaks. A speech bubble above her head reads, &quot;I DON'T REMEMBER VOTING FOR LESS STUFF THAT COSTS MORE.&quot;

A man walking a beagle dog on a leash and a woman carrying a shopping bag walk away from the viewer. The man asks, &quot;DO YOU THINK WE'LL EVER STOP SAYING - IF DEMOCRATS HAD DONE WHAT TRUMP DID, MAGA'S HEAD WOULD EXPLODE?!&quot; The woman replies, &quot;YES, IN FOUR YEARS!&quot;

A Democratic donkey and a Republican elephant are seated at a bar. The donkey, with a surprised expression and holding a drink, looks towards a television screen showing President Joe Biden. A speech bubble from the donkey reads, "OH MY GOD! DID YOU KNOW BIDEN WAS UNIFIT FOR OFFICE?" The elephant, seen from behind, nonchalantly replies, "OLD NEWS."

This political cartoon features a large, angry man wearing a red &quot;MAGA&quot; hat and a red shirt that reads &quot;HANG Mike Pence.&quot; He holds a hangman's noose in one hand. A speech bubble next to his wide-open mouth exclaims, &quot;JAMES COMEY POSTED A PIC OF '8647' MADE OUT OF SEASHELLS!! CLUTCH MY PEARLS!&quot; In the bottom right corner, a hand holds a paper with &quot;PARDON&quot; written on it.
