This cartoon depicts six buzzards with the names of the Supreme Court justices who voted to strike down a Louisiana voting map as a racial gerrymander. They are feasting on a corpse labeled “voting rights act” that is mostly bones. The “Roberts” buzzard says to the “Alito” buzzard “Don’t leave any meat on the bone.”

This three-panel cartoon depicts a dumb-looking man with a backwards hat using his phone. In the first panel, a voice from the phone says, "You've reached the A.I. Data Center... the most powerful computer ever built! How may I serve you?" The man says, "Yeah, create a fake photo that supports my lies and conspiracies so I can be popular on social media!" In the final panel, the voice on the phone says, "You know, I'm seriously giving that 'taking-over-the-world-and-eliminating-humans' a second thought right now."

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche is in a courtroom questioning Spongebob Squarepants, who sits in a witness chair next to a female judge. Blanche says, “Admit it, you witnessed defendant Comey write out his Trump threat in seashells!!!”
