Just watched a bomb sniffer Labrador snag a fry off the ground as he patrolled with a big smile on his face. Truly living his best life.

Getting remarried messes with the pension and military benefits. My great aunt husband died in WWI. ONE. She still gets a check. She kept a man. But didn’t get married because “you don’t give up a sure check for a potential check baby.” 😂😂😂 https://t.co/6oU2p6fiGB

If you are a young reporter wanting to understand Washington, you could do worse than reading the budget from start to finish. On almost any page you can find a multi-decade saga if you look hard enough.

Vaccinated or not, there are implications for all of us. 1/
I've been following this COVID outbreak at White Mountain Community Dance Hall in Show low #Arizona since June 23, which tragically has now resulted in TWO deaths. Unsure how many others are hospitalized. 9 of 22 infected were vaccinated; 70 attended 1/6 https://t.co/JBbv7goAA8 https://t.co/PUbgBxXfSi pic.twitter.com/nsXhtHnfyI
