Friday News Dump... and puppies?

from Drivetime with DeRusha

Jason talks about a pair of news bits late on a Friday - DHS dropping charges against a former Olympian who'd been charged with vandalizing the reflecting pool in DC, because it turns out the damage was from poor installation, not him. Plus, Xcel Energy says enough of you have complained, so they'll stop sending you the "please turn up your thermostat" texts. And since it's National Mutt Day, we skip the "3 Disasters" and just bring you a story about a heroic puppy!
