(Dog Walk Report 8/19) Cosmo wants you to know: the weather is beautiful tonight. Temps are in the 60’s. The pmails were scattered about all over the place. Return messages and curly shuffles took a lot of time. We heard crickets tonight. A sign that summer is winding down. Deer were all over the neighborhood, munching on people’s planters and flower pots. Frogs were belting out a tune for our pleasure. A terrific escapade. #cosodogs #dogsofcoso #jrt #nightwalker #midnightramble

This is Ebony. She’s about three years old and weighs about 7 pounds in her furry combat boots. We call her the Pole Dancer because she loves her scratching post. #CatsOfCoso

“AUSTIN – Attorney General Ken Paxton appears to have personally vetted a report that was produced by his agency that cleared him of allegations of wrongdoing that is at the center of his impeachment trial, new documents released show.”

If you think this makes our AG sound like a criminal, it’s because he is.

Federal judge orders Washington County, OR sheriff to release any criminal defendants who do not have an attorney including those awaiting a public defender to be released from jail after 10 days if not provided an attorney.

An excellent step in fixing perpetual pretrial detention!

Will Maddow be able to interview HRC if she can't stop laughing? I know HRC can be quite sober and poised, but....I wouldn't blame her for having a laughing fit.
