This cartoon depicts a man sitting in an armchair in front of a television. A dog with brown spots is lying on the floor near the man's feet, seemingly asleep. The man has a bald head, a large nose, and is wearing tie. He looks like he just got home from work. He is reading a newspaper and glances up at the television. To the right, a television screen displays a news broadcast with a blonde female news anchor sitting at a desk and reading from papers. She says, "TODAY EVERYONE PROTESTED EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE."

This cartoon depicts a group of wealthy, older men in formal wear gathered in a luxurious setting. They are seated in plush armchairs, engaged in conversation. One man, with glasses and a prominent nose, holds a cigar and looks concerned. Another man, bald on top with white hair on the sides and wearing glasses, holds a drink and gestures emphatically with his other hand, saying in a large speech bubble, "THIS REGIME CAN GO AFTER THE MARGINALIZED ALL THEY WANT... BUT WHEN THEY HURT OUR INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS, THAT'S WHEN I PART WAYS!"

A cartoon depicts a caricature of Donald Trump yelling "FIRE!" while precariously climbing a wooden ladder that leans against the base of the Statue of Liberty's torch. Trump is wearing a suit and a red tie that is labeled "FASCISM." He holds an ice cube tray labeled "I.C.E." above his head, and several ice cubes are falling out and melting. The Statue of Liberty's hand firmly grasps the torch, which is emitting a bright yellow and orange flame.

A four-panel cartoon depicts a large, armored figure polluting the world that resembles the mythological warrior Goliath. The warrior is interacting with a smaller human figure like David. Panel 1: The warrior stands polluting the world with smoke from his helmet, holding stacks of dollar bills in his hands with a satisfied expression Panel 2: The warrior is struck by little rock coming from off-panel to the right. The impact causes cracks to appear on his armor, and the dollar bills fly out of his hands. Panel 3: Below, a small human figure stands on a shore, gesturing upwards with outstretched arms towards a thought bubble showing a large wave engulfing houses and industrial smokestacks polluting the air. The warrior above looks down with a surprised expression, still holding some scattered dollar bills. Panel 4: The warrior stumbles backwards, clutching his head as stars and question marks swirl around him, indicating confusion or pain, as he complains to an unseen supreme being that the tiny creature has disturbed him.

A cartoon depicts a hospital room scene. A patient, covered in a blanket labeled "401K," lies in a hospital bed with an oxygen mask on and appears to be in distress, with his mouth agape. Two figures dressed as doctors stand beside the bed. One doctor has the head of an elephant, representing the Republican party and wears a tag that says "GOP." The other doctor is Donald Trump. Trump says, "HE'LL BE FINE. I JUST SIGNED HIM UP FOR A MARATHON." Medical equipment and monitors are visible around the bed, showing fluctuating vital signs.

A cartoon depicts an elderly couple standing in their kitchen. The woman, on the left, holds a cartoon of eggs and says to her husband, "OUR ACTUAL EGGS ARE WORTH MORE THAN OUR NEST EGG."

Donald Trump pours bleach from a large jug labeled "TARIFFS - ECONOMY STRENGTH BLEACH" into a large glass punch bowl. The punch bowl is labeled "WORLD TRADE" and contains a pink liquid with a map of the world visible within it. Above the bowl, fumes rise, forming a skull and crossbones symbol. In front of the punch bowl, on a table draped with American flags and the words "USA FIRST," are several small punch glasses filled with the pink liquid and marked with percentage signs.

Two figures are stranded on a small, sandy island in the middle of a tropical ocean under a clear blue sky. Two palm trees with coconuts grow on the island. On the left, a disheveled castaway wearing a grass skirt says, "I FEEL DESERTED..." On the right, another figure resembles an elephant and wears a torn and disheveled business suit. He says, "I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL... I'M A FREE MARKET CONSTITUTIONAL CONSERVATIVE..."

A cartoon that looks like a poster to promote a movie depicts Elon Musk and Peter Navarro wrestling with each other. The title of the movie, written at top, is "DUMB AND DUMBER." Musk wears a cheesehead.

This editorial cartoon features a portion of the American flag, with its familiar red and white stripes and a section of the blue field. Instead of stars, the blue field is filled with numerous white gun target symbols, each consisting of concentric circles with intersecting lines forming a crosshair in the center. At the top of the image, text reads, "Study: 1 in 15 US adults has experienced a mass shooting firsthand."
