This cartoon is titled &ldquo;The Arch de Trump.&rdquo; It depicts a large arch in Washington DC that resembles a gas pump with all types of gasoline priced at more than $4.25. A car drives through the arch and someone inside the car says, &ldquo;At least it really captures his lasting legacy&hellip;&rdquo;

A man and a woman are reading in bed. The man has a book and the woman looks at her phone. The man asks, &ldquo;Any news that isn&rsquo;t about Trump being erratic?&rdquo; The woman responds, &ldquo;RFK Jr. cut off a dead raccoon&rsquo;s penis to study it.&rdquo;

This cartoon depicts Pope Leo blessing the faithful from his balcony at the Vatican. A sweaty JD Vance peeks out from behind a curtain and says, &ldquo;I&rsquo;ve been a Catholic since 2019 and you&rsquo;re doing it wrong!!&rdquo;

This cartoon depicts three American navy men eating a sparse, unappealing meal. One of the men remembers talking to his grandfather many years before. The grandfather says, &ldquo;Join the Navy when you grow up cuz they got the best food!&rdquo;

Donald Trump and JD Vance are depicted as angels in this political cartoon. The Pope is nearby blessing the faithful. Trump says, &ldquo;Are we idiots?&rdquo; Vance responds, &ldquo;Are we warmongers?&rdquo; The Pope responds, &ldquo;...Is the pope Catholic?&rdquo;

This single-panel political cartoon depicts a facility labeled "FOR-PROFIT DETENTION" with a sign stating "YOUR TAXES AT WORK" and dollar signs replacing the eyes on a skull.

A sign in the foreground features arrows directing toward the facility as "ALIVE" and toward the dumpsters as "DEAD."
