Foreground Trump on left in cowboy get-up, hands poised over pistols, says “Only way to fix a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun.” Netanyahu on right also in cowboy get-up, holding two small nuclear missiles, says “Same, but nuclear.”

ICYMI- the Art of the AUKUS deal- yesterday's cartoon for @australia.theguardian.com
Scene is a room with a table set up for Trump (name tag, burgers, diet coke in a gold ice bucket). 
A staffer is opening the door with a sign saying "Trump/ Albanese meeting- CANCELLED" and is looking at Albanese who is standing next to a noticeboard he'd prepared earlier saying "WE give YOU BILLIONS OF DOLLARS. YOU - most probably- give US NOTHING in return!"
Albanese is saying to the staffer " I WAS hoping an honest assessment of AUKUS would convince him that we put America First"

A bad hand. My cartoon for tomorrow's The Age and Sydney Morning Herald.
An editorial cartoon split into two panels. The first panel shows Tammy Bruce from the U.S. State Department saying in a press conference, "President Trump is the singular guiding hand about what will be occurring from this point forward." The second panel shows an over-the-shoulder view of President Trump, alone and posting up a storm on social media. Several of his most inflammatory Truth Social posts of the last 24 hours relating to the escalating situation in world affairs, particularly the conflict between Iran and Israel, appear in overlapping text bubbles. Fast food litters the desk in front of him with both a can of Diet Coke and an open hamburger container resting perilously close to a large red button on his desk (notionally to deploy large scale weaponry such as bunker buster bombs), which could easily be pressed by accident given where his focus lies.

“I think the world needs a lot more young angry women, to be honest - especially with everything going on right now.” - Greta Thunberg. Anyone who isn’t angry about this genocide, forced starvation and continual breach of international law has lost their humanity.
Illustrated poster by Nordacious. A young woman with light brown hair wearing a red shirt and black-and-white keffiyeh stands on the deck of a ship, facing massive, ominous, dark blue waves. Her hair and scarf blow in the wind. At the bottom is a quote from Greta Thunberg: “We are doing this because no matter what odds we are against, we have to keep trying. Because the moment we stop trying is when we lose our humanity.” The words “lose our humanity” are highlighted in red.

A flurry of alpha-nonsense floats through the air between them, falling to the ground as dollar signs where it collides.
