Olive met another Havanese who was much smaller than her. She was only minimally interested. Truthfully, she likes people much more than other dogs. #DogsofBluesky #Havanese #Dogs

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

So very true!
The federal minimum wage is still $7.25.
Eggs cost an average of $6.49/doz.
Millionaires and billionaires don’t care that most of you have to work for ~an hour of your life to afford a dozen eggs.
Stop idolizing them.
