A leader would not have lost eight colleagues tonight. This happened because you let it happen or because you’ve totally lost control of the caucus in one of the most important moments since you’ve been Democratic leader. Either way, it’s on you. You need to step down. We need someone who can lead.
Democrats have been fighting for months to address America's healthcare crisis
For the millions who will lose coverage
For people with cancer who won't get the care they need
For working families who can't afford to pay $25K more a year for healthcare

allergy friends, what do you advise infants in vegan families in terms of allergen exposure, both initial introduction and sustained exposure? is it worth them doing dairy and egg, for example, if they're not going to get it long term?

No it’s important to listen to this. Because then you understand that many of them will do ANYTHING to keep power. Remember Musk got involved in the 2024 election after saying to Tucker “if she wins” I am definitely going to prison.
So we need to move knowing that nothing is off the table for them.

Your average Subway 6-inch has an effective range of about 15 feet, making it best for CQC or a sidearm (side-sub?). For increased range and stopping power, you're going to want something baguette-based, like a Croque Monsieur.
It's not in this article but the government asserts that the sandwich was thrown at "point blank range", which implies subway sandwiches have defined effective weapon ranges of varying lethality, and I would like to see the government's chart of these ranges.
