Doggie (and owner!) need some help - even a few bucks would be great. Terrible problem to have, but curable with surgery and she's only 2! 😢 Even a repost will make a difference - thanks!

Support Coco’s Life-Saving TECA Surgery (Total Ear Canal Ablation)
I never thought I’d be writing this. Asking for help doesn’t come easy, but my little Cocker Spaniel, Coco, is in constant pain and I’m running out of ways to save her.

Wow. Glad I lived long enough to see all the incredible pictures of our solar system.
#PPOD: Saturn is seen here through the lens of NASA's Cassini spacecraft during a ring plane crossing in February 2005. The picture reveals the razor-thin ring plane in blue, atmospheric bands in gold, and moons Dione and Enceladus as slight "bumps" in the rings. 🧪 🔭

Ask yourself: Were things better under Biden?
Without a shadow of a doubt.
We weren’t living in fear that our SNAP benefits would disappear; that over a million jobs could vanish overnight; that our relationship with Canada might be put at risk; or that the ACA would be priced out of reach.

But CAN he protect them in red districts any longer? The recent elections suggested he's already terribly weak, and there are no signs that that weakness is going to turn around, even IF his mental acuity doesn't completely break down... which it seems daily to be doing.

Talked to a small business owner in PA just before the election in '24. "Oh, he's not going to do tariffs," she said.
He did it the last time, I said.
"I don't remember that."
You own a small business and you don't remember tariffs?
"Oh, Tom, you're funny."
It's impossible to get through.

Farmers in the Midwest kept their hands on the stove in 2024, even tho they had to be bailed out by subsidies in the First Reign of Terror.
And once again, he sold them out again with the tariffs.
Surprise! Surprise!
Smh

Not that it matters anymore, but it’s important to point out that the White House did more to try and stop the release of the Epstein Files than to try and end the shutdown.
