But the Secret Service staff’s complaints about a planned chopper ride for an elementary school student reflects a building morale problem inside the team of agents assigned to shield Vance and his young family, according to the two people and another person familiar with the agents’ frustration. Agents have shared concerns internally about Vance and his office pressing them for trips and assignments that some agents consider an inappropriate or even unprecedented use of government resources compared to prior vice presidents, they said. The agents pulled in to protect Vance and his family have also become “fed up” with the last-minute travel demands that Vance and his wife, second lady Usha Vance, frequently place on the security team, according to the two people and an additional source with knowledge of their travel who spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of reprisals. The Vances are the first family to reside at the Naval Observatory with young children since former Vice President Al Gore and his family, more than 25 years ago.
You are going to hear a lot from the Vote Yes crowd of "elections are good," "the more elections the better," and "elections are pro-democracy." This is a nice soundbite, but it is only surface level. Don't get me wrong, elections are great. In fact, Kansas Supreme Court judges are subject to elections in the form of retention elections after one year on the bench. If you believe that a new judge is doing a poor job, you can vote to non-retain them, at which point if the majority of voters agree with you, their spot on the bench will re-open. So the public can scrutinize a judge based on his or her performance almost immediately. And then every six years, they come back on the ballot for retention, and you can vote accordingly at that time. The voters already do have a say in the makeup of our court as it stands right now.

Tips to protect pets and service and support animals Make sure to keep your pet well hydrated and give them consistent access to cool water to drink. Take breaks in the shade or in air-conditioned spaces. Monitor for symptoms of overheating, such as heavy panting, drooling, and weakness. Watch out for hot asphalt —do not let your pet idle for too long. Never leave your animals alone in a parked vehicle. Leaving a window open is not enough—temperatures inside the car can rise almost 20°F within the first 10 minutes, even with a window cracked open. Make a plan and create an emergency kit for your pet in case of an emergency.
