We said goodbye to our sweet girl Leela yesterday. For over 13 years, she was part of our family—gentle, a little scaredy pants, and always ready to dig a massive hole or sneak a bite of anything edible. Leela filled our lives with love and laughter. She earned her angel wings & we miss her deeply.

Billionaires are trying to close our public schools with something called private school vouchers.
They say it’ll help poor kids go to private schools. They call it “school choice.” It all sounds so noble.
But vouchers are the biggest scam I’ve ever seen.
