New Englander - let’s start the next revolution for democracy. Reclaim our nation - grassroots up.
Rainbows to follow the clouds,
Laughter to kiss your lips,
Sunsets to warm
Beauty for your eyes to see,
Friendships to brighten your being,
Confidence for when you doubt,
Courage to know yourself,
Patience to accept the truth,
Love to complete your life.

Tucked inside the 1,200-page appendix to the White House’s budget request to Congress is a proposal to eliminate a grant program that provides domestic violence shelters with money to support survivors’ pets.

So yeah, Republicans want to ban survivors' pets from domestic violence shelters.
