A MARTINEZ, HOST:

Good morning. I'm A Martinez. Senator Bernie Sanders has been memed again - no mittens³ this time. During the marathon debate for the Inflation Reduction Act, a photo emerged of a seemingly dejected Sanders sitting on the Capitol steps resembling a 1970s cartoon character, the iconic bill from "Schoolhouse Rock!" on the same Capitol steps. Sanders' amendments⁴ were defeated. But life imitating art, the bill passed.

(SOUNDBITE OF TV SHOW, "SCHOOLHOUSE ROCK!")

UNIDENTIFIED ACTOR: (As character) We signed you, bill. Now you're a law.

SHELDON: (As bill) Oh, yes.
