Update: I know many good people still believe this stuff is just “partisan” attacks. It isn’t. While there will always be corruption in the government, what is happening now is at an extremely dangerous, unprecedented level.

So, some Fridays I too participate when I have accumulated 7 worthy items. Thank you Jen for hosting this project!
