DOGE cuts: Top ten cartoons of the week

IRS agents. VA workers. Park rangers. Air traffic controllers. Social Security administrators. No one employed by the federal government appears safe with Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency waiving a chainsaw across Washington

Our top two most-reprinted cartoons of the week come from Chris Weyant, and both mock Musk's blunt and mistake-prone process of trimming the size of the federal workforce. I also enjoyed Jeff Koterba's cartoon about astronauts returning home after being stuck on the International Space Station, only to find a "Planet of the Apes" scenario playing out in the U.S.

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