What do we have here? Another day, another Democrat meltdown. And this time, Rep. Eli Crane (R-AZ) came up with what might be the most practical solution yet: therapy dogs. Yes, you heard that right.
After watching his Democrat colleagues spiral into a full-blown tantrum during Wednesday’s House Oversight Committee hearing, Crane suggested bringing in some four-legged emotional support to help them cope. And wouldn’t you know it? By Thursday, adorable beagle puppies had made their way to Capitol Hill.
Now, before you think this was some grand bipartisan moment of warm and fuzzy unity, let’s be clear—those dogs weren’t there to soothe the fragile egos of left-wing lawmakers. The real reason? Something far uglier. The beagles were actually brought in for a hearing on taxpayer-funded animal cruelty, a subject that should make every American furious. But of course, Democrats were too busy clutching their pearls over Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) team slashing waste and fraud to focus on, you know, actual cruelty.
The chaos started when Democrats, in a desperate Hail Mary play, tried to force a surprise vote to subpoena Musk. Screaming, shouting, total pandemonium—the kind of scene you’d expect from a toddler’s birthday party, not Congress. And yet, despite six Republicans missing the vote, the Democrats managed to fumble their own trick play and lost 20-19. You almost have to admire the level of incompetence required to sabotage yourself like that.

But Crane, ever the problem solver, decided that maybe—just maybe—what his colleagues needed wasn’t logic or a reality check but some good old-fashioned emotional support. “Would it be possible to get some therapy dogs in here?” he asked, only half-joking. Committee Chair Rep. James Comer (R-KY) even jumped in with his own quip about consulting Rep. Jamie Raskin’s “shrink.” But Crane took it a step further: “I’m worried about their mental stability,” he added. And frankly, who isn’t?
🚨 LMAO! @RepEliCrane just roasted Democrats endlessly whining about Elon Musk and DOGE in the Oversight Committee
“Mr. Chairman, would it be possible to get some therapy dogs in here for my colleagues on the other side of the aisle?”

Democrats are having a rough time lately, and no, it’s not because they’re suddenly waking up to the consequences of their policies. It’s because Musk and his DOGE team are exposing the rot within agencies like USAID, a longtime slush fund for pet Democrat projects. Nothing makes the left screech like the prospect of losing control over taxpayer-funded boondoggles. And when faced with actual governance, their response isn’t to debate—it’s to throw tantrums, demand subpoenas, and act like the world is ending.
Now, here’s where it gets really ironic. When Crane walked into Thursday’s hearing, guess what? There were, in fact, therapy dogs present—just not for the reason he originally suggested. Instead, the beagles were brought in for a hearing on taxpayer-funded animal cruelty, specifically the horrific experiments backed by none other than Dr. Anthony Fauci. Yes, that Fauci. The same guy who became the left’s patron saint of “trust the science” was also responsible for greenlighting research that involved force-feeding toxic drugs to puppies before dissecting and killing them.

Let that sink in. While Democrats wail about losing their bureaucratic playgrounds, actual suffering—funded with your tax dollars—was happening in NIH-funded labs. Those beagles, rescued from an NIH supplier, were a stark reminder of the real cost of unchecked government spending. Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC), chairing the subcommittee, laid it out plain and simple: the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), led by Fauci at the time, spent $1.68 million torturing beagle puppies. And yet, somehow, the left is more upset about Musk doing some budget-cutting than about puppies being chemically poisoned in taxpayer-funded labs.
These three beagles were freed from Dr. Fauci’s cruel animal experimentations. Now, they’re each in a loving home and stealing hearts in the Oversight Committee room as star witnesses. pic.twitter.com/YXLXuH4zFn

Here’s the cold, hard truth: Democrats are in a state of complete psychological distress because they are losing control. They have spent years bloating government agencies, weaponizing bureaucracies, and funneling money to their pet causes. Now, the adults have stepped in to clean house, and the response is pure hysteria. Bring in the therapy dogs, llamas, parrots—heck, get them an emotional support octopus if it’ll help. But there’s no therapy animal on Earth that can soothe the pain of a party watching their corrupt empire crumble. And there’s certainly no beagle adorable enough to make them care about the suffering their policies have caused.
