Cartoon showing a row of chairs in which a very uncomfortable-looking Don Lemon is flanked by 4 hooded Klu Klux Klan members, 2 on each side of him. Inside Rupert Murchoch is interviewing another hooded Klan member holding a lighted tiki torch. One Klansman asks Lemon "Are you here to interview for Tucker's old time slot too?"  Cartoon of an angry-looking Tucker Carlson on Fox News saying "Breaking News! Deep state black trans election-stealing socialist Drag queen Antifa gromers have canceled Tucker Carlson!" Carlson is wearing his Russian flag lapel pin.  7 seated customers and a standing bartender are watching Fox News. A customer says "I can't wait to see how Fox News covers is $787.50 Million settlement with Dominion". At that point Tucker Carlson on the screen says "Trump Won!"

Mickey Mouse is reading a newspaper headlined "DeSantis Signs Abortion Ban" when Minnie Mouse walks in patting her belly, visibly pregnant and looking non-plussed. Mary Poppins, Dumbo, Tinker Bell, and other Disney characters are drawn in the background.   Republican donor Harlan Crow stands on the steps of the marbled Supreme Court building in his bathrobe and bunny slippers, holding a coffee mug in one hand reading "World's Best Sugar Daddy" and in the other hand a rolled up newspaper headlined "Billionaire buys SCOTUS Justice...Yells at Statue". He yells at the statue of Lady Justice "Get off my lawn!" The whole cartoon is labeled "Clarence Sells a House"  A 2 panel cartoon shows Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis and a Texan talking. DeSantis says "I;m banning gender-affirming care, men in women's sports, drag shows, and the word 'gay' -- beat that." The Texan says "Hold my beer"and hands it, a Bud Light can with a rainbow on it, to DeSantis. In the second panel DeSantis has run away (right out of his white boots) yelling "Eeeek! Trans beer!"
