41 political cartoons for October 2025

Editorial cartoonists take on Donald Trump, ICE, Stephen Miller, the government shutdown, a peace plan in the Middle East, Jeffrey Epstein, and more.

This cartoon depicts Pete Hegseth, JD Vance, and Donald Trump in a wildly comic, mocking style. The three stand in front of an American flag. Hegseth holds a martini glass and says, “The beardos and the fatsos have to go…” The bearded Vance and heavyset Trump look worried.
