A break from the collapse of the national government:

This is a fabulous article by journalist Chris Kelly. It’s about a trumped-up “scandal,“ but it’s really about what’s happening in Scranton and elsewhere.

And it’s about integrity.
Well-stated by @chriskellyink.bsky.social . Give it a read

Especially when he says the RIFs will affect the Dems. Probably anyone who donated to ActBlue or orgs like the ACLU. I suppose they have all that info now due to Musk’s DOGE stealing our files.
