Regarding their “stress”. This is the FIRST day of the hearings!
Dogs DO make for great stress relievers and bring comfort. These congress critters should just snuggle with themselves (the dirty dogs).
At my son’s small college they had a shooting with one dead and many wounded. The campus is surrounded on three sides by residential neighborhoods. A few of the student groups went out into the neighborhoods and told the dog walkers to use the campus so the kids could play with the dogs.
Word got out and the place was overrun by dogs - much to the delight of the students.
