Saturday’s political cartoons include hospital bill trauma, Independence Day, and more

Emergency help for health care costs

This cartoon is set in a hospital where a woman pushes a man in a wheelchair. The desk at right is for hospital billing and next to that is a door that leads to “Standby Trauma Team.” The woman pushing the wheelchair looks at the door and says, “This is for patients who get their bill.”

The Great Pumpkin

This political cartoon depicts a giant pumpkin that resembles Donald Trump's bulbous head outside a house. The pumpkin is labeled "Authoritarianism." A voice inside the house says, "Nonsense! There's no such thing as a great pumpkin! Now go back to sleep!"

Independence Day 2025

This cartoon is titled "Independence Day: The New White House Ballroom Is Here!" It's drawn to look like the poster from the "Independence Day" film that depicted an alien spacecraft looming over the White House. In this version, it's instead the gilded and ostentatious White House ballroom ceiling that looms over the White House. It shoots out a destructive beam from one of its lights to destroy a portion of the White House.
