Political cartoons for November 18

Tuesday’s political cartoons include MTG's marching band, AI data centers, Trump's fat cat friends, and more

A large truck decorated with patriotic bunting and stars is filled with elephants in this cartoon. The words “Release the Files” are written on the side and the elephants are playing instruments and beating a drum labeled “Marjorie is right.” A MAGA hat flies behind the truck. Donald Trump runs after the truck carrying a tuba, trying to join the band.

A man and a woman sit on a couch. The woman reads a book and the man holds a phone looking at social media. The words at the top left of the cartoon read: “As it becomes worthless, the penny still can be used .. for example:” The woman asks the man, “A penny for your thoughts.” The man looks almost like he’s drunk and his speech bubble is empty.
