Good on Troy Farah and Sheldon Whitehouse.
(DUer Flashman posted about it in E&E).

And hatrack posted this:

The goal seems to be to make all flow of information in society so shitty that as another DUer Betty Boom I think mentioned about all the deregulation and firing of federal workers etc, it will be impossible to know what or who to blame as you continue to viscerally feel your life go to shit or worse are lulled/deluded into thinking it is getting better (though like Troy, I am all for the few signs if hope one can find and to start plugging along using those).
