Danes are sending their final Christmas cards — the last ever to be delivered by the national postal service. From the year-end, PostNord — which traces its history in Denmark back to 1624 — will cease carrying letters and handle only packages. www.ft.com/content/fecad9e1-5...

MELIA needed a break from the noisy shelter. She enjoys car rides, walks, playing. Please watch this video. See how calm, sweet, loving she is once she gets to know you. All she needs is that chance.

Meet MACC’s Tri-paw’d Wiggle Wobble.

Frankie is a year old and 42 lbs. Dogs are amazing creatures and can teach us some awesome lessons. Frankie had surgery to remove her very injured leg just a handful of weeks ago. She runs and plays with her shelter friends like she’s never had 4 legs.

Everything Trump touches is transactional.
We now learn that Fifa had a very specific "ask" in exchange for its "Peace Award" to Trump, with loads of gold trinkets, and that was dismissal of a criminal corruption case against senior Fifa officials. And Trump granted it. Another corrupt bargain, barely noticed (and ignored by US media).

The Professor has proven VERY popular on BlueSky and I feel compelled to point out that he’s a foster dog. There are SO MANY good dogs that need a place to stay while they wait for permanent homes. If you’re in Minnesota, check them out here:

Fact: All December, adoption fees will be waived for qualified adopters who wear an ugly holiday sweater. Also a fact: Your new dog will not judge you and your questionable fashion sense.

Cars are passing by, no one stops to meet MELIA. You can see she's just tired of shelter life. Over 810 days. Shes only 3.5 years old. Needing a quiet Adult only home, no dogs. 🥺

A huge night for Democrats:

—They flip Miami's mayorship.
—They flip a state House district in Georgia that had voted Trump by 13%.
—They keep Albuquerque's mayorship, while the liberal faction flips city council.
—And they get big overperformances (+18 & +22) in 2 Florida specials.

The Trump admin gave states an ultimatum: Cooperate with the immigration crackdown, or lose your federal funding.

Oregon and 19 other states fought back — and won.
