Last year, a dog named Buttons was abandoned in the jungle of Thailand by her former owners because she was “not cute enough.” The Happy Doggo sanctuary, run by Niall Harbison, took in the scared dog and placed her up for adoption. Harbison and Happy Doggo feed over 800 dogs daily on Koh Samui, an island in Thailand. Harbison received an adoption application from a Liam Gallagher in England, but he thought it must have been a joke. “The name on the form was Liam Gallagher, but I thought that’s obviously not him,” he wrote on X. “Then, the next line was occupation, and it was ‘singer.’ I thought my mates were taking the piss. But I checked it out a bit more and his details all stacked up.”"I follow this geezer, this Irish lad, who rescues [dogs] and they've been all battered and beaten up and that. So we fell in love with Buttons,” Gallagher said on “The Jonathan Ross Show.” Gallagher, the former lead singer of Oasis, is one of the biggest rock singers of the past 30 years and is known for being a rugged, outspoken character unafraid of courting controversy. But he also has a great sense of humor, making him a national treasure in the UK. So, maybe it’s not surprising that he fell head over heels for a rescue dog from the other side of the world. @.oasis3 This is so cute #foryoupage #knebworth1996 #liamgallagher #jonathanrossshow #dog #oasis Three months after being taken in by the shelter, Buttons was shipped 6,000 miles to his new home in the UK. The “Live Forever” singer loves spending so much time with his new dog that it’s made him rethink his career plans. “I don’t want to go on tour no more,” he said in March. “I want to stay home now.”But Gallagher went back on tour for the 30th anniversary of Oasis’s “Definitely Maybe” album, and at one show, he dedicated “Half the World Away” to the dog. The song surprised the audience because it was originally sung by his brother, Noel. “I want to dedicate this next song to me dog, Buttons, who we got from Thailand. It’s called ‘Half the World Away.’” Buttons has settled in and is absolutely adored by Liam and family. She is treated like a queen. This year @liamgallagher has been on tour and dedicated the aptly named “half the world away” to Buttons.But that was just the start… (4/8) pic.twitter.com/DGi1dqYAoh— Niall Harbison (@NiallHarbison) August 21, 2024 One of the central props on Gallagher’s Definitely Maybe Tour was a large blue globe that hovered over the center of the stage. After the show, Gallagher auctioned the globe, with the proceeds going to the Happy Doggo sanctuary in Thailand. “The globe was auctioned and Co-op were kind enough to take it,” Harbison wrote on X. “It will be a feature in the new Co-op Live venue in Manchester, where visitors can see it before all events. The fact it is a globe and Buttons came from ‘half the world away’ is perfect.”Co-op Live, an indoor arena in Manchester, Gallagher’s birthplace, donated £25,000 ($33,000) to purchase the globe, which will help Harbison expand his shelter “on the same piece of jungle where little Buttons used to sneak in,” he said.The story is a beautiful example of dogs' effect on people, even those half the world away. “Never underestimate the impact dogs can have on us all,” Harbison wrote on X. “Over a year ago little Buttons walked in hoping for a better life. She’s done that and then some. Not everything is bad in the world. Love always wins.”Click here to donate to Happy Doggo.

Even in this amazing girl-dad era, certain aspects of girlhood can still be quite challenging for fathers to know how to best show up for their daughters. And certainly, first periods are one of them. This can be especially true for single dads. Even the guy who grew up with sisters likely wouldn’t know the ins and outs of different menstrual products available today, and that’s not even getting into the emotional roller coaster often involved. One single dad hoped to find answers on Reddit after his soon-to-be 13-year-old daughter had her first cycle. And thankfully, he got what he needed—and then some. “I'm a single dad and my daughter (soon to be 13) has just started her first period. Luckily, she was at a friend's house and managed to get hold of a few pads but we don't really have anything at home,” the dad explained.He continued, “What do I need to be doing? Pads, tampons or cups? Different things for different situations? Should I just buy different products in different levels of absorbency and let her figure out what's comfortable? Should I have a specific pain relief on hand or just hot water bottles?”Hello Reddit, my teenage daughter has just started her first period. What do I do? byu/notafrenchspy inNoStupidQuestionsFirst off, kudos to this dad for already being thorough. Asking about product specifics? Thinking about pain relief? A+And people were equally thorough in their answers. One person suggested dedicating a section of the bathroom to a discrete “period care stash” which would include:Pads (medium + heavy OR medium + night-time).Baby wipes (fragrance free. NOT makeup wipes).Ibuprofen or similarHot water bottleBonus items: Favorite chocolateNew pack of basic underwear Enough can't be said about having a discreet period stash. Photo credit: CanvaThey also suggested getting a fabric drawstring bag so that some of these items could go into the girl’s school bag, as well as incorporating a cycle tracking app like Clue or using some other kind of “top-up system” to know when these items would need replenishing. “This will probably depend a lot on how independent she is and whether the topic feels awkward to her (which is natural even though there's nothing to be embarrassed about). She might want you to just pick up a new packet of pads as part of your grocery shop once a month. She might want you to leave the shopping list where she can see it so she can just write on it what she wants. She might prefer you give her a little extra money so she can pick up products for herself. Use your best judgment or ask her,” they said. This person did add the disclaimer that “no matter how regular her cycles may be they still take us by surprise sometimes.” So it’s a good idea to have good laundry detergent on hand and that she also knows how to do her own laundry if she needed. This person made it very clear to the dad to be mindful to not instill any shame around menstruation, and to have “a bit of grace if she's a bit snappy, or if she's more lethargic or spending longer in the bathroom. She won't want you to draw her attention to this.”Other honorable mentions include getting period underwear like Thinx and Knix, rinsing and stained items in cold water before washing, asking a female she’s comfortable with to teach her about tampons, having a basic understanding of PMDD, endometriosis, PCOS etc., and to make sure the bathroom trash can has a lid, especially if the house has dogs. But beyond helpful advice, this dad got a lot of positive encouragement. “You are a really cool dad to be so calm and collected, and caring. You are a hero,” one person wrote. “You are pure gold, coming from a single father of an eleven year old daughter. Thank you” wrote another. This chapter might not be quite as simple to navigate as previous ones, but simply having the intention to be well informed is already putting this dad on the path towards success. Kudos to him, and all the other dads who strive to support their daughters every step of the way.

With no fanfare or announcement, the Harris campaign signaled that she supports the proposed tax increases that were part of Biden’s 2025 budget proposal this week. The ambitious tax increases, if passed, would mark a major change in U.S. tax policy, but Harris, whom Republicans have worked to tie to the more unpopular Biden, has not discussed the tax agenda.

Harris’s attacks on U.S. tariffs also come with a high risk as leading Democrats in Congress such as Sens. Gary Peters (D-MI) and Debbie Stabenow (D-MI), as well as labor unions and many Democrat voters, support some of Trump’s tariffs that have been left in place by President Joe Biden and want a future president to expand those tariffs.   The United Auto Workers (UAW), for instance, is hoping to get U.S. tariffs increased on foreign cars to protect American auto jobs and wages.

The complaint, filed with the FEC on Wednesday by the Functional Government Initiative, calls for the agency to investigate Vindman, the Democrat’s campaign, and a political action committee called VoteVets. That’s because, in the telling of the watchdog group, a recent interaction with the press appears to show that VoteVets, which supports progressive veterans for office such as Vindman, made an “excessive and impermissible” in-kind contribution to Vindman’s campaign.   Vindman and his brother, Alexander Vindman, blew the whistle on a 2019 phone call between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and then-President Donald Trump — leading to Trump’s first impeachment.

Vaccines are expected to start shipping in the coming days. However, despite a resurgence of COVID-19 in some parts of the country, interest in taking the latest vaccine or “booster” is at a record low.

There used to be major problems with agencies (including the Secret Service) putting employees on paid admin leave for grossly extended periods of time (including for years, in many instances). So while I worked for Congress, we passed this law that put a limit on that practice: https://law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/5/6329b…. It requires that if agencies make a determination about whether the employee under investigation poses a threat to others. If not, they should be given other duties while investigated. If so, they should be taken out of the office and placed on investigative leave. This requires that agencies swiftly investigate and propose discipline or removal. Of course, if agencies actually have it out for you, they’ll just suspend your security clearance and put you on unpaid leave. That’s what happened to the USSS agents down in Cartagena in 2012, and it has unjustly happened to some of our clients in the FBI (notably Marcus Allen and @GOBactual). Here, all the USSS has done is place these employees on administrative duties, which it should at the very least have done on July 13–if not placing them on investigative leave that night.

The document includes a chart with categories of “mis-, dis-, and malinformation,” one of which is the “delegitimization of election results.” It defines this as “narratives or content that delegitimizes election results or sows distrust in the integrity of the process based on false or misleading claims.” The chart features examples of alleged election “rumor” and official talking points of “reality.” A line at the bottom of the page notes the categories were “adapted from the Election Integrity Project’s (EIP) final report on misinformation and the 2020 election.” The House Judiciary Committee found last year that CISA used the EIP before the 2020 election to “launder its censorship activities” to bypass the First Amendment and public criticism. The EIP made “misinformation” reports available to “select parties,” including the federal government, universities, and Big Tech companies. “The EIP targeted true information, jokes, and political opinions of Americans across the political spectrum, but especially conservatives,” according to a press release.
