Tres amigos.
Theyve been my barn queens for coming up on 15 years now.
Sweet girls.
They don't get far from the barn anymore but I've yet to see a rodent.
They have a private apartment in barn with heat in our harsh upper MN winters, a fan and lots of high and low roosts for the rest of the year.

Black dog on a steaming hot day in the Northland.
She's not beating up the hostas too bad....yet.
She takes periodic lake breaks and has a nice cool basement floor to chill on.

As always, not a lawyer, but one thing that leaps out at me about how things are going down in the courts right now is that the US court system is not designed to be responsive to a crisis like this one. A crisis like this one is not what it's FOR.

Beginning March 31, people will no longer be able to verify their identity with the SSA over the phone. Those unable to verify their identity through the agency’s “my Social Security” online service will be required to visit a field office in person to complete the process.

They started with the undocumented, then they went after visa holders and permanent residents, now it's naturalized citizens.

How many times must history rhyme and repeat before we realize what's going on?

Every Dem rep needs a handy dandy cheat sheet that lists each congressional district with how much federal funding it received and how much its constituents paid in. And every single time one of the taker reps opens their gob list off how much they get vs how much they pay.
