My younger nephew once told me, “Aunt Janet, everyone knows cats are girls and dogs are boys.” He had a point. My reaction to adult males with blonde hair is the same. How can I take you seriously as an adult male if you have blonde hair? It’s the same thing. Everybody knows, only women are blonde.

Civil servants should be evaluated on their commitment to serving the American people, not based on which one of the President's executive orders they like most.

✅ Many cities are making progress on homelessness by following the research.
One example:
➡️ Homelessness in Sonoma County is down 23% from last year, due in part to the 400 permanent housing units they added.
Federal funding cuts may undo this progress.
