Good morning, Delaware County. Washington's grudge matches are back in style — Fauci and Rand Paul are set for another Senate face-off, which means C-SPAN is about to have its most-watched moment of the year. Closer to home, Haitian residents in Springfield are navigating a tense new reality as DHS summons them to report to ICE, a story worth following carefully. On the economic front, unemployment claims dipped again, keeping the labor market in its peculiar "nobody's hiring, nobody's firing" holding pattern that economists can't quite explain.
Meanwhile, geopolitics is doing its restless thing — US-Iran tensions are shifting, and Washington is ramping up efforts to counter China's global reach. When the headlines feel like a lot, Delaware County's fresh real estate listings are a perfectly reasonable escape hatch.
