Barry Blitt’s “Remote Control”
For the cover of the September 29, 2025, issue, the cartoonist Barry Blitt attempted to capture, in one image, Donald Trump’s unprecedented series of attacks on the media, destruction of federal programs, and abuses of executive power that have ushered in a new era of political vengeance. “When voting for President,” Blitt said, “I, of course, want someone who will not only run the country but also help narrow down our media diet.”
