☆ Marjorie Taylor Greene's threat to oust Mike Johnson could backfire and allow Congress to pass more Ukraine aid

Marjorie Taylor Greene is threatening to oust Mike Johnson from the speakership. It could actually backfire on her — and make it more likely that Ukraine aid gets passed. Democrats could easily save Johnson, and many have named a vote on Ukraine aid as their price. So by filing her resolution on Friday in protest of Johnson's handling of government funding, Greene just handed a whole lot of leverage to House Democrats. Or it could mean individual votes on Ukraine and Israel aid, as Johnson has indicated he would like to see.

While I had long believed in stashing cash in a pet emergency fund instead of paying for pet insurance, I was now sold. Pet insurance can pay for itselfAfter talking to a few fellow pet parents, I decided to get Embrace pet insurance. Now that I have pet insurance, I don't have to choose the cheapest pet insurance option because it's most affordable. I also have a pet emergency fundAs I said, before the constipation incident with my cat, I wasn't really keen on getting pet insurance. That's because pet insurance works a little differently than health insurance for humans.

☆ The pet drugs vets are now prescribing look a lot more like human medications

If you want to understand how different the human and animal medicine and vaccine industries have historically been, you don't need to look much further than weight loss drugs. When Pfizer spun off its animal health business in 2013 creating Zoetis, about 65% of the company's business was livestock-related. That has flipped now, with 64% of the company's revenue coming from products for companion animals like cats and dogs. Peck credits the Pfizer spinoff for allowing Zoetis to better balance what the company wanted to do in animal health versus the human health side. A similar product was approved for cats, marking the first time that monoclonal antibody treatments, which have become increasingly popular for treating human illnesses, have been used to treat pet osteoarthritis pain.

Prada's Re-Nylon puffer dog coat with hood comes in two colors and three sizes, $825 From PradaBut the transition from Fifth Avenue high-end and high fashion to high-performance and technical function has certainly accelerated in recent decades. Doberman Pinschers — along with sleek breeds like Greyhounds and Whippets — are prime candidates for dog coats because of their short hair, thin skin and minimal body fat. “Make sure the coat fits well for safety and they’re supervised while wearing the coat.

On Tuesday afternoon at a courthouse in Kansas City, Missouri, the collective nightmare of the real-estate industry became reality. For decades, the basic structure of how real-estate agents get paid when they help someone buy or sell their home has remained roughly the same. Here's how it works: When you list your home for sale on an MLS, you're required to offer a commission to the buyer's agent. The good buyer's agents who can prove their value will be fine, Brobeck predicted. Buyers might also start making offers on the condition that the seller agrees to pay both agents' commissions — otherwise, no deal.

In October, Consolidated Communications agreed to be bought by an investor group comprising Searchlight Capital Partners And British Columbia Investment Management Corp, months after the group had first submitted an offer to buy the company. Reuters reported in July that Wildcat asked Consolidated Communications to reject the offer. Consolidated Communications did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Wildcat argued that mature fiber and cable operators have historically been valued at 10 to 15 times earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) by acquirers, whereas Consolidated Communications' take-private deal valued the company at about six times of cash flow.
