In early October, the Senate failed to advance a GOP-backed measure that would have continued funding for the government. On October 23, in the midst of the shutdown, the Shutdown Fairness Act (which was intended to only pay “essential” workers) introduced by GOP senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin fell 6 votes short (54 to 45) of getting 60 votes to continue this bill.

The forest took her, small and thin. A shadow lost in bark and skin. No name was whispered on the breeze. Just echoes tangled in the trees.

On Memorial Day, Walt Disney’s live action “Lilo & Stitch” released, a reimagined version of their 2002 classic animated version. It's an emotional and humorous movie about Lilo, a girl from Hawaii who finds it difficult to make friends and stay out of trouble, who meets Stitch, a mischievous little blue alien who crash lands onto Earth.
Disney’s original series “Lilo and Stitch" has a new live action movie, featuring Maia Kealoha as Lilo and Chris Sanders as Stitch, and has many different reviews from everyone around the world. The live action is based off of Disney’s Lilo and Stitch, and it talks about the unlikely friendship between Lilo, a young, free-spirited Hawaiian girl, and Stitch, an evil, smart alien creature. I recently just watched it, and I feel like the live action could’ve done better, rating it a 3 stars out of 5.
