The house may seem divided on official impeachment rules, but that didn’t “paws” the Halloween festivities outside the Dirksen office of Sen. Thom Tillis.

“Everyone thinks we all hate each other and we just came up with the idea that if you’ve got a dog, you’re a good person,” Tillis said. “On any given day, I’ve got two or three dogs running loose in my office. They can join the pack.”
