October 8 editorial cartoons | The Week

published 8 October 2025

This political cartoon is titled &ldquo;Here&rsquo;s the evidence*&rdquo; and then an empty frame. The asterisk is defined below and the words there read, &ldquo;* That Tylenol causes autism, antifa is an organization, Portland is a war zone, the shutdown is about free healthcare for illegals, the Epstein files are a hoax and this is the most elaborate and detailed cartoon ever drawn!&rdquo;

This political cartoon depicts a man and a woman watching CBS News on television. A newscaster on the screen says, &ldquo;With the network&rsquo;s new editor in chief, CBS vows to treat Democrats and Republicans the same.&rdquo; The woman watching says, &ldquo;If their goal is to restore credibility, why start with a whopper like that?&rdquo;

This Donald Trump cartoon depicts him speaking from a stage to a crowd of people in MAGA hats. Trump points at masked and armed ICE agents and says, &ldquo;Finally, we are getting violent criminals off the street and into uniform.&rdquo;

This political cartoon is titled &ldquo;The Enemy Within&rdquo; and depicts a scowling Donald Trump missing the top part of his head. Written inside his head is the word &ldquo;Dementia.&rdquo;

This cartoon is titled &ldquo;Crocodile Tears.&rdquo; It is dominated by an oversized crocodile with a bib that reads &ldquo;Trump Administration.&rdquo; The crocodile is about to eat a turtle labeled &ldquo;Federal Workers.&rdquo; The crocodile says, &ldquo;It&rsquo;s just so sad! While negotiating the government shutdown, those nasty Democrats wouldn&rsquo;t let me eat them for breakfast, so now I must eat you for lunch!&rdquo;

This cartoon depicts a man atop what appears to be at first glance a volcano with a wide crater. But a closer look reveals that the volcano is a giant Donald Trump with his mouth wide open and smoke pouring out. The man throws a CBS logo into the gaping maw and the words above the scene read, “Yet another sacrifice to appease the god of FCC mega-media merger approvals.”

This political cartoon depicts the White House with the word &ldquo;LIES&rdquo; written across the side as a group of 11 pigs line up to feed from it, as if it was a trough. The pigs are labeled &ldquo;REPUBLICANS.&rdquo;

This is an editorial cartoon drawn in a stark, somber way. It shows a close-up of an elephant&rsquo;s trunk blowing out a candle labeled &ldquo;Health Care.&rdquo;

This is a political cartoon that takes place inside Stephen Miller&rsquo;s office. Miller is depicted as a pale, ghoulish figure. He takes a weird satisfaction from watching a TV broadcast as the newsperson says, &ldquo;Agents used flashbang grenades, broke down doors, and led children, including U.S. citizens, out of the Chicago apartment building with their hands bound by zip ties.&rdquo;

This cartoon depicts Donald Trump and an elephant in an old-fashioned gangster suit. They hold tommy-guns and have just shot Uncle Sam as a frightened donkey looks on. Trump says, &ldquo;Now look what you made us do!&rdquo;
