Skunk season alas. The solution:
✔️ Bottle of hydrogen peroxide
✔️ Small bottle of Dawn
✔️ Box of baking soda
Apply until it's all gone and your pet is a mass of foam.
Use NO WATER.
Rinse after 10 minutes.

To cut or not to cut Kentucky’s income tax next year, that is the question
Kentucky GOP lawmakers appeared to disagree Monday on whether the state should further cut the income tax next year after failing to meet the budget trigger.

I agree that Grijalva should be sworn in so she can do her work for her constituents, who currently have no representation in the House because of Johnson
Johnson: "Grijalva should be working for her constituents right now. I don't know what she's doing. I keep seeing their political stunt videos. She should be in her office. She should be working or in the district for her constituents" (Grijalva is not in fact a Rep. b/c Johnson refuses to seat her)
