1. "Don't tell your roommates"?? That's sickening

Literally and figuratively.

THIS is how super spreaders spread

5. Whoever gave those instructions should face criminal or civil penalties.

2. The GOP is the party of Super Spreaders

Blinded by arrogance and drunk with their power. They are earning their bad karma now.

3. Roommates? Like, in the office, or like, they share an apartment?

Weird.

How old are these staffers?

[hatrack]

4. Not unusual in DC

Housing is ferociously expensive, and Congressional staffers don't get paid squat.

Some Representatives and Senators have shared housing in the past.

7. Indeed!

9. Group Houses for Jr Staff are quite common

Older married staff tend to move to the Burbs. Rockville Md, Springfield VA. If they have rich parents Bethesda MD and Arlington VA

6. All this WH and Capitol Hill stuff is getting ridiculous!

Agree???

10. Totally agree. Dumb luck is the only thing protecting it at this point.

As the President learned, that changes quickly.

8. No morals in the GOP. Don't tell your roommates, WTF?
