Just took the lovely Maeve out for an afternoon. She gets agitated by other dogs, but is otherwise the biggest sweetheart you will ever meet. If you’re in the DC area you can adopt her here: bvspca.org/dc

An Increasingly Desperate Trump Threatens Iran’s Annihilation

The rhetoric comes as the president is stuck with a war he can’t win and declining domestic popularity — but what if he means what he says?

This is Maeve. She may be the sweetest, most good natured, most trusting dog I have ever met. She was abandoned in DC last week, and since I’m not able to adopt a dog now, I had to turn her over to the Brandywine Animal Shelter. I want to make sure this absolute delight of a dog finds a good home.

Silent movies often featured chase scenes, which were often the most exciting/interesting scenes. So, ‘cut to the chase’ came to mean “get to the important part.”

NEW: In this majority-Latino city in California, the GOP had long maintained an iron grip on local government. But that all changed this spring: Anger toward ICE raids, immigrant organizing, and surging turnout for local elections, it all made for a Dem sweep—& flip. Check out the story:

The California city of Whittier swung to Democrats this spring, spurred by ICE raids and by anger toward election rules that long dampened turnout among Latinos and kept them out of city government.
