I’m watching Niall run the marathon on YouTube live. 12k to go! $168,000 raised so far.
I still remember how bad a state every single one of these dogs were in when I found them in various bad situations in Thailand.
This was a surprise from the @happydoggo.com team. Talk about emotional just 3 hours before the Marathon!

October payments for 20 school districts across our state have yet to be issued, and there's no good reason for it.
These are the consequences of the Trump Administration's attacks on the Department of Education. It's gotta stop.

A very cool accomplishment for my rural community. Affordable housing has been a problem for a long time, and combining the project with a childcare center is awesome! Kudos to all those working together to create something that helps working people!
It was great to be in Viroqua to celebrate the opening of the new Main Street Apartments.

A 🧵 worth reading:
In late 2020 and 2021, Trump-aligned operatives illegally gained access to voting equipment, software, and data. This was part of a multi-state effort now considered "the most severe election security breach publicly known." (1/15)
