Living at 7000' in SW CO with 3 dogs(sadly, only 2 dogs now. God rest old Aunt Chris' soul) & 2 bonded sister cats. Love snow! Appreciate cold weather since I dislike the heat. Outdoors daily, hiking often with the pups.

She was eventually let go, per David Goodhue of the Miami Herald, who also took this footage:

Aztec Ruins National Monument preserves 400+ rooms and a restored great kiva built by the Ancestral Puebloans around 1100 AD. Located in the Animas River valley, the site was a significant ceremonial, public, and economic center. It was abandoned around 1290 AD.

BREAKING: All House Democrats have signed our discharge petition to extend the ACA tax credits.
That makes 214.
We can protect health care and lower costs — if only 4 Republicans will join us.

No, you absolutely do not have to 'hand it to him'!
Jeffries: "The border is secure. That's a good thing. It happened on his watch. He wants to claim credit for it, of course he'll get credit for that. In terms of making sure that we actually deal with the issues that matter, including on immigration, there's a lot that's left to be desired."

He shouldn’t just be pushed out as the House Democrats’ leader; he needs to be primaried out of his seat entirely. Just a complete waste of a deep blue seat.

Republicans should be winning districts like this without batting an eye. They had to call in Trump, Fox News, all of it. The beast is bleeding.
