This political cartoon shows Mad Magazine's Alfred E. Neuman at left next to Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Neuman is shirtless and covered in measles. He says, "What, Me Worry?" RFK JR. holds a bottle of castor oil.

The phrase 'FIND WALDO GARCIA' is written in the upper left corner. The cartoon depicts a large crowd of bald-headed figures in plain T-shirts and shorts a pyramid-like formation. One figure, with a distinctly colored shirt, stands out from the rest.

A cartoon depicts a caricature of Donald Trump standing on a small stool in front of a large chalkboard. He says. ""I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THIS, AND I WAS NEVER A FAN" The chalkboard is filled with complex and seemingly nonsensical formulas, diagrams, and words, including "WINDMILLS = FORMULA 4 THE BEOOTIFUL TARIFFS," "THE GROCERIES," "NANNYSTATE," "TESLER = COVFEFE," "HANNIBAL LECTER," "RECESSION," and "BUY THE DIP." The phrase "LET THEM EAT CAKE CHINA" is written in the upper right corner.

This two-panel cartoon shows Donald Trump at left holding a sippy-cup and saying "WORLD LEADERS ARE KISSING MY ASS..." In the second panel, a man with glasses and a slightly surprised expression, is kissing Trump's read end and making a "SMOOCH!" sound. An aid says to Trump, "SORRY, SIR... THAT'S JUST BILL MAHER..."

This cartoon shows two giant and fierce-looking elephants about to do battle. One is labeled "Cornyn" and the other is labeled "Paxton." A man with a cowboy hat is in between the elephants. His shirt reads "Texas GOP" and he thinks to himself, "This is getting old."

A man and a woman are shown leaving a store and headed to the parking lot. They are carrying many boxes and bags filled with good and merchandise. The woman says, "If he keeps changing the tariffs, how can we synchronize our panic buying?"

The word "SISYPHUS" is written at the bottom of this cartoon. On the right, a strong-looking man labeled "Politics," is shown pushing a large boulder uphill. The boulder is labeled "REACTIONARY POPULISM." The boulder is crushing Uncle Sam in between another large, dark boulder labeled "FAR-LEFT EXTREMISM."

Charlie Brown is pictured at left next to the Easter Bunny. Charlie Brown looks into his basket and says, "I got a rock!" The Easter Bunny replies, "What d'ya want from me kid? Have the seen the price of eggs this year?"

This Donald Trump political cartoon looks more like a painting than a cartoon. Its mood is dark and foreboding. It resembles a battle scene from Napoleon's ill-fated invasion of Russia. It's cold. Snow and the bodies of fallen soldiers cover the ground. Donald Trump is pictured riding a horse. He says "Onward!" but the mood and the drawing of this cartoon are not light. Trump is drawn as a doomed figure, bundled against the cold.

Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth sit at a table. Behind them is a chart labeled "Stock Market" with an arrow headed steeply downward. Hegseth says to Trump, "Look at the bright side. No one's talking about Signal-Gate anymore."
