The reason why McConnell is currently ambiguously dead is because KY law was recently amended to state that a vacant senate seat must be filled by a special election, but previously, the duty to fill a vacant senate seat was by appointment of the current governor. The present KY gov is a Democrat, and has the means to challenge the special elections rule in the state supreme court, under the argument that it is unconstitutional to governor's power as outlined in the KY state constitution. So given the risk of a Dem appointee who would become an incumbent to challenge, or a special election race in the middle of the Mamdani Endorsement DemSoc run on congressional seats, McConnell will remain in quantum superposition between life and death until there is no longer a risk of his republican power being challenged.

ive said it b4 and ill say it again but if u r a first time dog owner, either as an adult or ever, i really dont think theres any point in getting a "starter breed" for dogs when u should really just be getting what u are passionate about and sincerely want, and have done ur research about and think u can be prepared for. if u have always wanted a doberman and u think one would fit well into ur life then get a doberman. if u get a lab bcuz dog people are telling you its 'easier' then u r with a dog for 10+ years that u didnt want as much and u didnt research as much, and every dog has its own quirks and "issues", some are more tolerable to an individual than others. every dog is going to have problems and frustrating moments and if its the dog you LOVED and wanted badly, the issues are going to be a lot easier for you to deal with. there r plenty of dog people who could breeze by with a "hard" breed but an "easy" dog thats recommended as a 'starter breed' all the time (labrador, pug, "ex racing greyhound", etc lol) would not fit what they want and might be much more overwhelming, and they wouldve been a lot happier getting the breed they'd originally wanted anyway. your passion for a particular breed or type of dog is there for a reason. respect that and go with your gut.

i know that most of us are struggling rn, but i feel like i’m drowning in debt and i have no idea how i will afford bean’s dental and it’s starting to really scare me.
