On July 12 2026 President Trump and an aide examine a note from congressional Democrats offering a wrecked biplane as a new Air Force One. The damaged aircraft lies on a grassy field under a clear sky. The scene references current debates over presidential aircraft replacement and partisan relations in Washington.
The cartoon illustrates the Florida Supreme Court's April 2024 decision upholding the state's 15-week abortion ban while allowing Amendment 4 to proceed to the November ballot. A dog representing the GOP is shown being run over by a tire labeled abortion rights on a vehicle. The dog expresses confusion that the strategy worked previously but now causes pain. The image ties to the renewed focus on abortion access following the ruling on DeSantis-backed law. It highlights how the decision overturned legal precedent and created a political gift for Democrats in the state.
On September 16, 2022, a political cartoon by Dave Whamond illustrates Sen. Lindsey Graham's recent proposal for a nationwide 15-week abortion ban as an own goal in soccer. The image shows Graham in uniform running away from a goal where the ball labeled Abortion Ban has entered the net. Other figures labeled BIP appear tangled inside. The cartoon responds to Graham's surprise legislation that stunned fellow Republicans and provided Democrats an issue for the midterms. McConnell and others had avoided the topic to focus on other messages.
