The most I can offer you is one finger.

https://theweek.com/cartoons/political-cartoons-for-november-11-2025

This cartoon is a classic recreation of Lucy holding the football for Charlie Brown in Peanuts. In this version, Lucy is labeled “GOP” and the football “Health care subsidies.” Charlie Brown is labeled “Dems.” Lucy says, “I’ll guarantee I’ll give you a vote!” Charlie Brown runs to kick the football thinking to himself, “OK, this has never failed me before…”

This cartoon depicts a happy man in a suit labeled “Congress.” He holds a newspaper with a headline that reads, “Government shutdown ending?” He looks at a woman, holds up his hand, and says, “High five!” The woman responds, “Sorry, after 40 days of chaos and anxiety, the most I can offer you is one finger.”

This is a two-panel cartoon. On the left, a donkey pats a man labeled “USA” on the back and says, “Don’t worry! We got your back!” In the right frame, the man turns to reveal that he’s been stabbed in the back. Sen. Chuck Schumer appears and says, “Ooo! That’s gonna cost you now that you lost your health care benefits.”

This is a six-panel cartoon featuring a caricature of Donald Trump as a farmer and his eight chickens, which are labeled with the names of the senators who voted to end the shutdown: Sen. Kaine, Sen. Rosen, Sen. Masto, Sen. Fetterman, Sen. King, Sen. Hassan, Sen. Shaheen, and Sen. Durbin. Trump sings “Old King Donald Had a Farm, EE, I, EE, I O. And on his farm he had some chickens. With a cluck-cluck here, and a cluck-cluck there, here a cluck, there a cluck, everywhere a cluck cluck.” In the second to last frame the chickens say, “We voted with MAGA…To hurt America!” In the last frame, Trump sings, “Old king Donald got a win, EE, I EE, I, O-Fugk!”
