She’s not wrong.
When we’re born, we have about 300 bones, but over time, we end up with just 206, because many fuse together as we grow.
And here’s a fun fact: Bone is a living tissue that constantly renews itself. Your skeleton is completely new about every 7-10 years.

With SNAP in crisis, America’s epic food waste problem has become a lifeline.
The U.S. throws away enough food to help tackle its hunger problem. The government shutdown is proving it.

OSCAR ISAAC, on whether he'd return to "Star Wars":
".. Yeah. I mean, I’d be open to it, although right now I’m not so open to working with Disney. But if they can kinda figure it out and, you know, not succumb to fascism, that would be great."

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.
