Plan Blue

Sharing a post 🙏🥹🐾🐕‍🦺 On September 11, 2001, dogs served in different ways across the World Trade Center disaster — searching rubble, detecting danger, and guiding people through smoke-filled stairwells to safety. Apollo, an NYPD German Shepherd, searched the ruins of Ground Zero alongside rescue crews. Bretagne, a young Golden Retriever with Texas Task Force 1, worked through dust, twisted steel, and devastation. Years later, she became widely remembered as the last known surviving 9/11 search-and-rescue dog. Jake, a black Labrador who had once been abandoned and badly injured, grew up to become a certified search-and-rescue dog. After 9/11, he spent days working through the wreckage at Ground Zero. Sirius, a Port Authority Police yellow Labrador trained to detect explosives, was inside the World Trade Center that morning. His handler, Officer David Lim, secured him before rushing to help others evacuate. Lim survived. Sirius did not. He became known as the only police dog killed in the 9/11 attacks. And then there were Roselle and Salty. They weren’t searching the rubble. They were guide dogs. Roselle helped her blind handler, Michael Hingson, escape from the 78th floor of the North Tower. Salty helped his blind handler, Omar Rivera, descend from the 71st floor. Through darkness, noise, fear, crowded stairwells, and chaos, they kept moving. Six dogs. Six very different stories. Search dogs. Police dogs. Guide dogs. None of them knew the meaning of terrorism. None understood why that morning had changed America forever. They simply did what they had been trained to do — and stayed beside the people who depended on them. More than two decades later, their names still deserve to be remembered. Apollo. Bretagne. Jake. Sirius. Roselle. Salty. They searched. They guided. They served. Never forget September 11, 2001. 🇺🇸🐾 #September11 #911 #NeverForget #GroundZero #SearchAndRescue #K9 #GuideDogs #HeroDogs #Apollo #Bretagne #Jake #Sirius #Roselle #Salty

The Republican Assemblyman representing the Little Saigon-area is now down 244 votes against an underfunded Democrat who runs a DEI consulting business.

NEW: Democrat Eileen Laubacher has netted 269 votes from a batch of 1484 ballots from Larimer and Arapahoe counties today. It’s difficult to see a path to #CO4 victory for GOP Rep Lauren Boebert. She trails by 3338 votes, or 0.88%, which is 3.5X the recount margin.

Boebert campaign says they "expect this election to head to a recount, one way or another." Laubacher's current lead of 2,927 is well outside the automatic recount threshold of 921 votes. A campaign can pay for a recount outside that margin.

NEW: GOP Rep Lauren Boebert's campaign says it is "investigating some very unusual voting patterns" Campaign claims that #CO4 ballot returns have been trending for Boebert since election night Dem Eileen Laubacher's 2.2% lead dropped to 0.65% by midday today but is now 0.77%

NEW: Last large ballot drop we expect is brutal for GOP Rep Lauren Boebert. 6400 DougCo ballots break +9 for Dem Eileen Laubacher (her best DougCo batch since election night). Adds 576 votes to her 0.87% lead - now up to 3266 votes. Every lean Boebert county is past its '22 total

Sorry but this is now the National Anthem of the United States of America

Sad? Feeling displaced by the majority of the country rejecting your MAGA values? We’re sorry! Red State Movers can help move you back to where you came from.💪🏻🇺🇸💅🏻🤷🏼‍♀️

NEW: Democrat Eileen Laubacher extends her #CO4 lead over GOP Rep Lauren Boebert from 2513 to 2857 votes Larimer: 7109 ballots, Laubacher +6.8, net Laubacher 481 Arapahoe: 790 ballots, Laubacher +15, net Laubacher 122 Weld: 834 ballots (cures), Boebert +31, net Boebert 259

Laubacher leads Boebert in #CO4 by 2,513 votes with pro-Boebert Weld County extinguished and the remaining uncounted ballots concentrated in counties Laubacher has carried. Laubacher's lead is nearly three times the automatic recount threshold.

omg. This montage from Jimmy Kimmel last night.
