This Daryl Cagle political cartoon depicts the IRS as a lone piranha before Democrats assume complete control, then multiplying into a ferocious school afterward, bubbling with satirical bubbles. The IRS piranha metaphor cleverly critiques perceived overreach in tax enforcement, with the before after panels underscoring a conservative viewpoint on government expansion. Bubbles and grumpy fish expressions add humorous flair, making the Democrats control government satire both insightful and shareable. Overall, it's a witty jab at bureaucratic growth, perfect for sparking debates on fiscal policies.

The cartoon depicts a diminutive woman labeled Women's Rights wielding a small gavel and shouting Think Again at a towering Conservative Supreme Court figure holding an enormous gavel. Published on the day the court overturned Roe v. Wade, the image illustrates the power imbalance after the 6-3 decision that eliminated the constitutional right to abortion. The visual emphasizes how the conservative majority on the court has shifted authority over reproductive policy back to the states.

Bruce Plante's cartoon shows a green-skinned alien relaxing in a beach chair under a yellow-and-blue umbrella outside Area 51, sipping a drink and conversing with a overweight man wearing a red MAGA cap and holding a beer. The alien questions if people call the man crazy for thinking he was abducted by aliens, but the man responds that his conviction is about all democrats being pedophiles. Set in a desert landscape with buildings and a flag in the background, the scene captures dry humor in political satire. The artwork pokes at conspiracy theories popular among some right-wing groups, with the alien's deadpan expression contrasting the man's casual stance. Elements like the cooler and relaxed poses add to the absurd, everyday feel of outlandish beliefs.
