A large billboard advertises an upcoming gilded ballroom estimated at $300 million. The worker's child asks if the family can afford bread while the mother replies that officials will let them eat cake instead.

On October 18, 2025, a Monte Wolverton cartoon depicts President Donald Trump observing the demolition of the U.S. Capitol Building on the left and the construction of an Arc de Trump monument on the right. A wrecking ball and crane damage the Capitol while another crane assembles the arch. Black smoke fills the center. Trump, in the foreground, says 'THAT'S MORE LIKE IT!' The split headline reads 'RAZING THE GOVERNMENT' and 'PRAISING THE TRUMP-ERNMENT.' The image comments on federal workforce reductions and infrastructure priorities during the second Trump term.
