Today’s top global stories get the EditorialCartoonsAI treatment — news you can actually laugh at.

From Bolivia’s tense election and Hurricane Erin’s windy downgrade to Khamzat Chimaev’s UFC smackdown and Zelenskyy’s Washington trip, we sketch the serious with a side of satire. Add in a singing bureaucrat getting suspended, Florida baking like a frying pan, Hoboken’s Pride party, horse racing drama, Norway’s film festival, and divine timing on Gokulashtami — and you’ve got the world, but way funnier.

It’s the headlines you need… doodled, roasted, and podcasted into something you’ll actually want to listen to.

From the White House to the moonlit skies, today’s headlines get a comedy makeover. In this episode, we doodle through the day’s biggest stories with EditorialCartoonsAI — from the US–China 90-day trade truce and Trump’s “we’ll see” diplomacy, to Gaza’s education crisis, Taylor Swift’s surprise album drop, and the elephants demanding more room (and peanuts).

We’ll poke fun at market mood swings, the UN’s Lego-set approach to statehood, scam-busting summits, and the cosmic photo-bombing moon ruining the Perseid meteor shower.

It’s the global news you should know — delivered in the way your brain actually likes: with jokes, sketches, and a little bit of “did they really just say that?”
