Political cartoons for January 30 | The Week

This cartoon depicts a pair of hands holding a piece of paper titled &ldquo;State of Minnesota.&rdquo; All of the lines on the paper have been redacted by dark-colored lines so nothing is visible. A voice says, &ldquo;Here are the state voter rolls you demanded. Have a nice day, Ms. Bondi.&rdquo;

This editorial cartoon is set in a snowy graveyard next to Walter Cronkite&rsquo;s headstone. The words &ldquo;Spin! Spin! Spin!&rdquo; are next to the grave. Two men walk away after visiting the grave and one says, &ldquo;Sounds like Uncle Walter heard what&rsquo;s happening to CBS News!&rdquo;

This cartoon is titled &ldquo;Kristi Noem swaps her cowboy hat for a new one.&rdquo; It depicts Noem with a fascist-style hat that has a silver eagle on the top and a T in the middle. It covers her eyes and only her big, oversize lips are visible. She says, &ldquo;I was only following orders.&rdquo;

This is a wordless cartoon set on the beach near Gaza. Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu are in the background playing with a beachball in the ocean. In the foreground, a skeleton lounges on a broken chair next to an umbrella riddled with bullet holes. There is a body bag in a chair next to it. The city in the background is built from broken pieces of things including a missile.

A glum-looking Greg Bovino sits in a chair inside what looks like an airplane used by the Trump administration to deport people. A man next to him in a NY Mets cap asks, &ldquo;What were you deported?&rdquo; Bovino answers, &ldquo;I tried to deport the first and second amendments.&rdquo;

This is a four-panel cartoon with an elephant standing next to a window in each frame. The elephant says &ldquo;Don&rsquo;t blame the guns&rdquo; in the first three frames as the scenes out the windows are Sandy Hook, Virginia Tech, and Uvalde. In the final frame a photo of Alex Pretti is next to the words &ldquo;Protestor killed in Minneapolis&rdquo; and the elephant yells, &ldquo;It was the gun&rsquo;s fault!&rdquo;

This cartoon depicts a letter sent from Pam Bondi to Minnesota. The letter is a copy of the Constitution that has been modified to look like a ransom note. There are letters cut out from some place that spell out &ldquo;Obey Trump if you ever want to see your democracy again!&rdquo;

This cartoon depicts Melania Trump in a wide, flat-billed hat that has an Amazon logo on the top. A price tag hangs from the hat that reads “$75 million Melania movie budget.” Melania says, “It’s a lovely gift from Jeff Bezos…But I think it’s meant for my husband.”

A masked, armed ICE agent is slowly sinking in water from a patch that has broken in an icy lake in this cartoon.

A man and woman look at an older man in a chair yelling at the television in Spanish. The man says, &ldquo;Hey, dad downloaded a language app! He must want to understand Bad Bunny during the halftime show.&rdquo; The woman responds, &ldquo;Actually, he just wants to yell at him in Spanish.&rdquo;
