Squirrel on lawn! Squirrel on lawn!
Run, bark, growl.
Squirrel runs up tree.
Put front paws on tree - still can’t reach squirrel.
Bark again, louder.
Sit at base of tree. Squirrel scolds and knocks bark down on head.
Bite tree. Growl. Wait.
Dig- squirrel laughs, squirrel laughs.
Bite tree!

Donald Trump is sending $40 billion to Argentina. I want to send America's seniors an extra $200 a month.
The cost of everything from groceries to utilities to health care is up.
My new bill is an emergency lifeline for seniors struggling to survive in Trump's economy.

Fellow authors, I love you, and I know it feels like we don’t have a choice, but B&N and Am*zon both scheduled sales this week to preempt Independent Bookstore Day, a hugely vital source of income for indie bookstores. Please don’t promote their sales; please promote your local indie this week.

Trump is frustrated Air Force one is taking so long to build. My solution? He commercial-coach class. Several Billions saved. Think of saying “I sat next to the President, and when I offered him the window seat, but he said he was fine sitting in the middle row!”
