I am loath to give credit to my friends in the Democratic Party for much, but I will say this about them: They know how and when to circle the wagons to get things done in Congress.

Voter ID has become a hot-button topic as the White House and congressional Republicans push to pass the SAVE Act.

In his most recent rant about how Democrats cheat to win elections, President Donald Trump offered a chilling recommendation on Monday. Appearing on the podcast of Dan Bongino, his former deputy FBI director, the president argued that "the Republicans should say, 'We want to take over.' We should take over the voting, the voting in at least many—15 places.

Karaoke can be exhilarating, horrifying, awkward, hilarious—but it’s rarely nonchalant. That might be part of the reason one man went viral for a suave rendition of U2’s soaring anthem "With or Without You." It’s hard to belt one of rock’s most passionate songs while reclining in a booth, but somehow that just makes the whole thing even coolerl. The clip shows Lugi, the singer of California duo Pengwich, singing the first verse, often closing his eyes as he channels his inner Bono. At first, the room is charged with the buzz of people talking. But it’s amazing to watch everyone suddenly realize, "Whoa, this dude is really good" and start paying attention. By the end of the video, as Lugi ascends into a sweet falsetto and belts with full-force vibrato, the entire mood has shifted. See on Instagram "How does one maintain this level of cool in karaoke?"People also responded to the performance online, with Instagram users marveling at the unique delivery. An account called FacesofRock1 shared the video, and the comments flooded in. Here are some of the best: "Even better than the real thing, excuse the pun""He’s the main character in his own David Lynch movie.""u2 is amazing and this guy nailed it. Sitting down. In the corner.

Pit bulls continue to be labeled as "bad dogs," but no one would argue that the breed is ugly. Their big, blocky heads and tiny ears that barely cover their ear holes make them adorable shadows. But one house hippo is gaining attention for his unique look that screams pit bull... or teddy bear, depending on which end you're greeted with first.Theodore is a brown pit bull who looks exactly as expected from his forehead down to his chin, but the rest of this pooch looks like he's dressed for Halloween. He's covered in fluffy, long hair from his ears to his tail, making him look like a golden retriever from the back and a pit bull from the front. His unique look is the result of a rare genetic condition.Before finding his forever home with Joanna Meadows, Theo was rehomed six times. Based on earlier videos from his time with Meadows, the peculiar-looking pup also had some odd habits that may have frustrated previous owners. But for his forever mom, finding a dog perched atop a kitchen cabinet is nothing she can't roll with. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Joanna Leigh Meadows (@theodore_joannam)In an interview with GeoBeats, Meadows explains how Theo wound up with flowing locks and a typical bully-breed face."The reason he's so different-looking is because he has a mutation," Meadows says. "It's called FGF5, and that's the reason his coat's so long like this. He's got a pit bull face, and he looks like he's in a teddy bear costume. He was an accident. The owner was in a position where she really could not care for him."Theo's first owner rehomed him with a friend, but unfortunately, that friend couldn't care for him for long before he ended up in an animal shelter. That began a revolving-door relationship with shelters before Meadows finally took him home. After so much rehoming, Theo was anxious when he arrived, but he soon settled in once he realized his new mom wasn't taking him back. As Meadows says, "As long as he's with me, he is content. He's happy."

As for how his hair feels, apparently it's soft enough to belong in shampoo ads promising luscious locks. "His fur is super soft," Meadows shares. "It flows in the wind. It's almost feathery in some places. It's super, super soft."The proud pup mom becomes emotional when she talks about how much he has changed since coming to live with her. She takes him everywhere, and he provides emotional support when she's feeling down. It seems Theo has found the perfect place to land, and commenters agree the pair truly belongs together."I can't believe he was returned six times. He looks like the sweetest teddy bear," one person writes."Thank you for giving this poor guy a home. Returned SIX TIMES. People are so awful," another shares."He looks like a mini Chewbacca!!! He's adorable! Thank you for making him your fur companion. He's living his best life now," someone else gushes.One person imagines things from Theo's point of view, saying, "In the beginning he's like 'I know. This isn't going to work out. I know I'm going to get returned. So I'm not going to open my heart.' Thank you for approving him wrong. loving and adopting him he is adorable."
