The cartoon shows President Donald Trump holding a sign outlining a plan to cut aid to three million families while directing a mother and her two children holding a food stamps sign to go on a diet. Published in July 2019, the image responds to Trump administration proposals to tighten eligibility and reduce funding for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. The visual highlights the impact on low-income households with children. It uses the diet remark to underscore the perceived disconnect between policy and recipient needs. The drawing captures ongoing debates over welfare spending during that period.

The cartoon shows a Supreme Court justice patting a gerrymander creature after it has consumed a broken Statue of Liberty labeled democracy. Published days after the June 2019 Rucho v. Common Cause ruling, the image criticizes the decision that removed federal courts from reviewing partisan gerrymandering claims. The monster formed from a U.S. map highlights how distorted districts undermine fair elections.
