Big, beautiful bill: Top ten cartoons of the week

The Republicans in the House passed their “big, beautiful” budget this week, which has led to a lot of uncertainty among business owners and just about everyone else who doesn’t own a MAGA hat. Will it explode the deficit? Will it lead to a recession? Will the stock market crash?

Our most popular cartoon of the week came from the pen of Ed Wexler, who isn’t only one confused by the bill’s focus on spending cuts and borrowed money to help the wealthiest Americans the most.

R.J. Matson’s cartoon on the bill (and more specifically, Moody’s downgrade) got a chuckle from me. As did Chris Weyant’s cartoon about RFK Jr. inability to discern fantasy from reality.

Here are our top ten most reprinted cartoons of the week:

#1. Ed Wexler

#2. R.J. Matson

Education cuts: Top ten cartoons of the week

Donald Trump didn’t hide the fact he wanted to shutter the Department of Education while on the campaign trail. Now that he’s president, he’s trying to follow through, though he’ll ultimately need the help of Congress to kill the agency for good.

In the meanwhile, the Education Department announced it was slicing its workforce in half, and cuts could impact everything from student loans to Pell grants to programs like the Rural Education Achievement Program, which helps fun low-income schools in rural areas.

John Darkow’s funny cartoon about an angry kid who thinks school has been canceled because the Education Department is being closed was our most-reprinted cartoon of the week. I also enjoyed Dave Whamond’s cartoon, which used a March Madness bracket to predict with state would be the first to get rid of education entirely.

Here are our top ten most reprinted cartoons of the week:

#1. John Darkow

#2. Bruce Plante

#3. Dave Whamond

#4. Dave Whamond

#5. Dave Whamond

#6. Bill Day

#7. Rick McKee

#8. Dave Granlund

#9. Dick Wright

Doomscrolling: Top Ten Cartoons of the Week

Have you heard the phrase doomscrolling? That’s when folks mindlessly consume negative news on their phone without lifting a finger to do anything about it.

Looks like it’s happening a lot during the Trump administration. Dave Whamond’s call for somebody, anybody to stand up and fight – including Democrats in Washington – was easily our most-reprinted cartoon of the week.

A big item in the news are Trump’s on again, off again tariffs on goods coming in from Canada and Mexico. Right now, they’re paused until next month, which led to a funny cartoon by Bob Englehart featuring a kid and his lemonade stand.

For now, don’t stop scrolling. Instead, check out our top ten most reprinted cartoons of the week:

#1. Dave Whamond

#2. Bob Englehart

#3. John Darkow
