BREAKING: In a stunning announcement, Senator Lisa Murkowski just announced she will vote no on Donald Trump’s SAVE Act. This will likely kill Donald Trump’s last hopes of passing the bill. Let’s go.
"My wife passed eight months ago. She left me a handwritten list of things she needed me to do after she was gone. Pay the insurance by the 15th. Call her sister on her birthday. Don't skip the doctor. And number 7 — 'Make sure Bruno gets a walk every single morning without exception. He will be the reason you get out of bed. I planned it that way. I love you. Don't argue with the list.'" I argued with the list for about three days. Then I stopped arguing. I have not missed a single morning since. Six months of mornings. Six months of 6:30am. Six months of Bruno waiting at the door with the specific patience of a dog who knows the list says morning and trusts that morning will happen because she said it would. Some mornings I get dressed on autopilot. Some mornings I don't remember deciding to get up. I just find myself at the door with my coat on and Bruno's leash in my hand. She knew. She knew me better than I knew myself and she wrote it down and she signed it don't argue with the list and she was right she was always right she was right about this the way she was right about everything. My son saw us this morning on his run. He called me after. He couldn't finish a sentence. Neither could I. So we just stayed on the phone for a while breathing in each other's ears the way you do when words are not the right size for what you are feeling. She put me on a leash, honestly. Bruno's leash. And I have never been more grateful to be exactly where I am supposed to be at exactly 6:30am on a February morning that I would not have gotten up for on my own. Number 7. She saved me with number 7. Drop a ❤️ for her. She planned everything. Right down to the morning walks. Right down to us.

Mitch McConnell has been hospitalized for over 4 weeks now with no legitimate proof of life except an old photo of him from 2023. Gov. Andy Beshear wants McConnell to record a video or do an interview. That needs to happen or Mitch needs to be replaced. 🤬 https://t.co/YlyCx8P358
A school teacher lost their battle with cancer, and the entire high school, students and staff alike stood together to give a heartfelt guard of honour.
Yesterday and today have been filled with consultations. Of course, I hear what people are saying. Today, I spoke at length with Mykhailo Fedorov. I also spoke with Oleksandr Syrskyi today. Decisions regarding the army will be worked out.
Thank you to everyone who cares about Ukraine. Thank you to everyone defending our positions on the front line and to those doing their best to bring the war back home – to Russia, where it came from. Glory to Ukraine!
"This is Marcus, a Marine Corps veteran who served in Fallujah from 2007 to 2009. Home eight years, he still gets night terrors every single night - waking up screaming three to four times before sunrise. His girlfriend moved into the spare bedroom two years ago out of safety.
His VA therapist recommended a trained PTSD service dog. The waitlist: four years. The cost: $35,000 he didn't have. So six months ago, Marcus adopted Duke, a five-year-old chocolate Lab, from the county shelter - surrendered because his last owner said he was "too needy at night."
The first week Duke came home, Marcus had a 3 AM nightmare. Duke jumped onto the bed unasked and laid his full 90 pounds across Marcus's chest - deep pressure therapy.
Marcus woke up without screaming for the first time in years, found Duke staring at him, and cried holding him.
Now Duke does this automatically, every single night, the moment Marcus shows the first signs. His therapist reviewed the bedroom camera footage and said: "Duke is performing textbook deep pressure therapy for nightmare interruption. That's exactly what we train $35,000 service dogs to do. He's doing it instinctively."
The "too needy" behavior that got Duke returned to the shelter is the exact trait saving Marcus's life every night. One shelter's reject is one veteran's lifeline.
