JULY 31, WASHINGTON--Sen. Marco Rubio spoke on the Senate floor last night to discuss the Senate's budget delay. While the House of Representatives has now passed three separate plans to change the nation's debt trajectory and deal with the debt limit deadline, the Democrat-controlled Senate has refused to pass a budget in over two years, and has not presented one at all this year. Rubio said that "this has been the plan all along, by the way. The plan all along was not to take a position, to let the days count down until we got to this point with 72 hours to go, and then force a vote on something that they wanted... You want to know why people all across America get grossed out by politics? It's by watching this kind of stuff happen."

In a quiet South Milwaukee, Wisconsin neighborhood no one noticed things at this house were a little too quiet. When mail started piling up someone called the police. Police found a man dead inside of natural causes. What was unusual about his is police found the mans loyal doberman Trixie curled next to her owner on the couch. The Milwaukee Area Domestic Control Center and police estimated the deceased owner and his dog had been in the house for nearly a month. Trixie was near death herself and was rushed to an animal emergency room. unknown, "The dog was very weak. Emaciated, laying next to it's owner very sad...What that dog must have endured for that time period. She's a sweet dog and she deserves a second chance." That's exactly what Trixie will get, in just three days of care she gained back twelve pounds. She also gained the attention of many who saw her and heard about what happened. Trixie has captured the heart of a Vet Tech who saw her and is planning to give her a new home, and reason to be loyal. The new owner plans on adopting Trixie Tuesday.
