Fireworks galore: Top ten cartoons of the week

There's been plenty of fireworks to go around recently, between Trump's combative rhetoric and Congress passing a controversial budget that cuts taxes and Medicaid.

Thankfully this week we get fun fireworks added to the mix as we celebrate our country's birthday, despite our founders believing we'd all be eating burgers and drinking beers on July 2.

While this week's top ten list is dominated by the holiday, our most-reprinted cartoon mocks the hapless Democrats, where the fireworks are between the party's young activists and old guard.

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