A tiny Greg Bovino is dressed like a fascist, has a palm raised to the air, and is inside a pair of boots speaking. He turns to speak to Tom Homan, who has a clown nose and carries a bag from Cava filled with cash. Bovino says, “Calling us ‘Gestapo’ is a choice, and zer vill be consequences, or my name isn’t Commander Bovino! Gibber! Rant! Blabber!” Homan says, “I’ll take it from here, Greg…”

This is a two-panel political cartoon. The left panel depicts a masked DHS agent. He says, “Alex Pretti should not have been armed at a protest…” On the right panel, a young man with a long rifle and a backwards hat says “Yeah!” and the DHS agent responds, “Not now, Kyle Rittenhouse.”

This is a five-panel cartoon titled “Swiss Army Knifing” that features Gavin Newsom in each panel mocking Donald Trump at Davos. Newsom carries a Swiss Army knife that is labeled “Trump Needle Tool.” Standing at the door of a plane, Newsom waves and says, "Ladies and gentlemen, the President of the sane part of the United States! Imagine how bad it is if I’m from California..." In the next panel, Newsom approaches Trump, offering him kneepads and saying, "Here I am at USA House to speak! Try these kneepads." Trump, wearing a "Board of Peace Prize" ribbon, angrily responds, "Not so fast, Newscum! You can’t speak truth in the USA House!!!" A third figure in the background adds, "Not since January 20, 2025, anyway..." In the next panel, Newsom tosses dog bones named “Gavin Media Bites” to a laughing crowd. He says, "Ok, fine. I’ll just drift around the press area..." In the final panel, Trump is seen at a "Davos" podium, crying and saying, "Gavin and I used to get along so well... sniffle! snurf! I wuved him like my Sparkle Beach Ken..." Newsom, shown in profile, sarcastically remarks, "More kneepads, pls..."

This cartoon has a quote from Voltaire at the top, which reads: “Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.” Below that, a mean-looking JD Vance, a small, fascist-looking Greg Bovino, and an angry Kristi Noem yell “Domestic Terrorists!” and point to the right side of the cartoon. The right side has images of a smiling Renee Good and Alex Pretti.
