This is a two-panel political cartoon titled “News Item: Supreme Court conservatives support ‘Conversion Therapy.’ The left panel depicts a smiling boy with a rainbow T-shirt labeled “Gay.” An arrow points to another version of him labeled “Straight!” and he looks unhappy. In the right panel, Donald Trump has undergone a conversion from “President” in a suit to “King!” in which he wears a crown, carries a scepter, and wears a robe.

This political cartoon depicts a smiling Russ Vought on the left and a collection of horrible, scary creatures on the right, including Freddie Krueger, a masked villain from “Scream,” Chucky the killer doll and a mean-looking gremlin. Freddie Krueger points at Vought with a blade finger and says, “That guy scares the hell out of me.”

This cartoon is titled “Trump Revenge.” It depicts three targets shaped like ducks, as if they are in a shooting gallery at the White House. The ducks are labeled, “Comey,” “James,” and “Bolton.”
