A down–on-its luck family of a man, woman, and child sit on a street corner begging for money. They hold signs that read “Lost job-need food” and “please help.” Donald Trump drives by in a limousine and yells at them out the back window, “What’s wrong with these people? Didn’t they hear Pam Bondi talk about the Dow!?!”

A man relaxes on his couch in a fashionable city apartment with a martini on a side table. A woman is in an armchair with a martini in her hand. The man gestures at a human-shaped robot who holds a cell phone as it sprints on a treadmill. The man says, “Loading the dishwasher’s nice, but I especially love that he keeps up my steps.”

This cartoon is titled “Heil Health Risks.” Donald Trump raises his arm in a Nazi-like salute and his hand is drawn as a large smokestack billowing smoke. Other arms are raised nearby, they hold champagne glasses and a cocktail glass and are labeled “Fossil” “Fuel” “COs.”

Attorney General Pam Bondi testifies before Congress in this political cartoon. The faces of the people seated behind her are stern and non-caring. Bondi says, “We have (redacted) released all the Epstein files (redacted) to protect (redacted) the United States.”

A naked man, a sheep, and a naked woman are in bed smoking cigarettes, apparently having just done something truly unwholesome. A surprised-looking woman walks into the room and the man says, “But the Dow is at 50,000…That’s what we should be talking about.”

This political cartoon puts the reader outside on a sidewalk, from where he or she can looks at a woman and man sitting at a desk speaking to a travel agent. The man says, “We’re not particular where we go…Just as long as they kind of tolerate Americans!”

This six-panel cartoon depicts an angry Pam Bondi in each frame. She says, “The Epstein Files are on my desk! There are no Epstein files! The Epstein files are a Democrat hoax! Only Democrats are in the Epstein files! Move on from the Epstein files!” In the final frame she says, “Talk to the hand!” and holds up her hand to reveal the words “Epstein was here.”

This editorial cartoon depicts a mass of people protesting against ICE. They carry signs that read “Minnesota Strong” and “ICE Out” and “Trump Sux.” The people have shaped themselves into an arm and hand about the “flick” a masked ICE agent away, like a bug.

An editorial cartoonist sits at an easel drawing a cartoon of Pam Bondi. The cartoon starts to scream at him: “YOU don’t get to make me look ridiculous! I decide to make myself look ridiculous!! The DOW is $50,000. You should be drawing that.” The cartoonist sighs and looks at his dog, who growls at Bondi.”
