Parent agency USDA is also unhinged (yes, font is really that large). State has one too, though not to this degree of whack:
The header on U.S. Department of Agriculture homepage, since the government has shut down, now reads: “Due to the Radical Left Democrat shutdown, this website will not be updated during the funding lapse. President Trump has made it clear he wants to keep the government open and support those who feed, fuel and clothe the American people.” It is worth mentioning (by me) that this is decidedly not normal.

It may be even harder for young folks to understand the books where it was bad to be seen as a Russian agent
Cover of the book “Berlin Game” by Cold War spymaster Len Deighton. This is the first book in the first of three trilogies featuring the character Bernard Samson. The image features the UK first edition cover art of an apple sliced in half by a folding Laguiole-type wooden handled knife.
