RFK Jr: "Somebody showed me a TikTok video of a pregnant woman at 8 months pregnant -- she's an associate professor at the Columbia Medical School -- and she is saying 'F Trump' and gobbling Tylenol with her baby in her placenta. The level of Trump Derangement Syndrome is now a pathology."

Another evergreen NYer cover—OCT 30, 2017:
Carter Goodrich, “October Surprise”
He said: “I have been asked to work on movies about him. I can’t do it; most satire seems to lighten what feels to me like a dire situation. He’s already a cartoon villain, infantile and strange.”

I know the Legal Dept is very busy trying to represent all the factions of our organization but, those TPS reports aren't going to write themselves!

'I'm gonna need those TPS Reports ASAP.' A line by a character representing an arch-typical bureaucratic boss in the movie, Office Space.

"Look, the President clearly has some kind of dementia" should be how Democrats begin every single comment to reporters these days.

Eric Michael Garcia @ericmgarcia.bsky.social · 3d

Ruben Gallego on whether Trump is talking to Democrats:

“Look, the President clearly has some kind of dementia, so I think there's a he's probably talking to himself, or think he's talking to a Democrat, but I sincerely doubt that that's actually he's actually physically talking to a Democrat.“

The entire theme of the Smithsonian's Bicentennial in 1976 was called "A Nation of Nations," a celebration of a multi-racial, multi-ethnic country, with contributions by different immigrant groups reflected in the objects in the exhibition. I wonder what the theme will be for the 250th?
