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:
