The Scoop on Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren's Dog Bailey
Massachusetts U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren is one of those people you love or loathe. There doesn’t seem to be a middle ground with this Oklahoma-born transplant who pretended to be Native American to better her chances of rising to the top.
In a recent column, National Review columnist Jeffrey Blehar, host of the Political Beats podcast, had little trouble expressing how he feels about the Bay State’s senior senator, calling Warren “a phony who leveraged a fraudulent ethnic identity to climb to the top of academia and subsequently converted it into a lifelong political sinecure.”
Blehar referred to Warren as a “useless, officious busybody and hypocrite scold” who practices “retail politics.”

His comments were in response to Warren’s usual duck and cover, this time from questions about when she knew Joe Biden was out to lunch and not fit to serve a second term.
It reminds me of Warren’s unsuccessful and short-lived 2020 presidential bid. Warren finished fourth in her birth state of Oklahoma in the primary, with 13.4 percent of the vote to Joe Biden’s first-place showing with 38.7 percent.
Warren finished third in her adopted state of Massachusetts, from which she was the sitting U.S. Senator, with 21.5 percent to Biden’s first-place showing with 33.5 percent.
All the while, Warren chugged beer from a bottle, hugged strange children, rode the subway and walked a dog, all to prove she was human. Blehar nailed it.
The Scoop On Massachusetts Sen. Liz Warren’s Dog Bailey
What about the dog? Some folks believed Warren borrowed or perhaps rented the dog as a campaign prop.
Warren’s dog Bailey was born in May 2018 and belongs to Warren and her Harvard professor husband Bruce H. Mann. They still have Bailey and can be seen walking him from time to time around their Cambridge neighborhood.
Bailey, a male golden retriever named for the lead character George Bailey in the film It’s a Wonderful Life, was a gift from Mann to his wife. The couple previously owned a golden retriever named Otis who died in 2012.
While much about Sen. Elizabeth Warren is a show, Bailey is real and was not a campaign prop.

Life Care Center of Raynham has received a deficiency‑free inspection result from the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, a distinction awarded to a small share of the state’s licensed nursing homes, according to a community announcement.
The inspection was conducted as part of the state’s routine, unannounced nursing home survey process overseen by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health. These comprehensive, multi‑day inspections evaluate multiple aspects of facility operations, including staffing levels, quality of care, medication management, cleanliness, food service and resident rights.
State survey records show that Life Care Center of Raynham met required standards during its most recent standard survey, with no deficiencies cited, based on publicly available state data.
The announcement states that fewer than 8% of Massachusetts nursing homes achieve deficiency‑free survey results. That figure could not be independently verified through state or federal data and is attributed to the announcement.
In addition to the state survey outcome, the facility is listed as a five‑star provider for quality measures on the federal Medicare Care Compare website. The five‑star quality measure rating reflects above‑average performance compared with other nursing homes nationwide, according to federal rating methodology.
Officials said the inspection results reflect ongoing compliance with state and federal standards designed to protect resident health and safety. According to the announcement, the outcome is attributed to staff performance and internal quality practices.
