Abigail Spanberger (D-VA) and Peter Welch (D-VT), have privately discussed their desires for the California leader to accept the deal put before them and are now ready to make those pleas public, The Daily Beast has learned. While many Democrats are happy to back Pelosi’s position, those […]

World number six Stefanos Tsitsipas says Russia’s Daniil Medvedev is the only player to have “p*ssed him off” during a match as the Greek touched on the pair’s heated rivalry. Tsitsipas, 22, and fellow top-10 star Medvedev, 24, are both tipped as Grand Slam winners having emerged with the crop of Next Gen talent bidding to overthrow the ruling triumvirate of Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer at the top of tennis. But the temperamental duo have endured a tetchy relationship during their rise, stemming from their first senior meeting at the Miami Open in 2018. Tempers flared after that […]
In any ordinary school year, school nurses are busy. This year, that’s an understatement. “Our role has expanded tenfold,” says Eileen Gavin, who co-leads a team of nurses for Middletown Township Public Schools in New Jersey. She and school nurses across the country face an unenviable and unprecedented task: caring for students and staff during a global pandemic. “We were at the front line of COVID-19 before the stay at home orders were put into place,” says Gloria Barrera, the president-elect of the Illinois Association of School Nurses. They’ll be at the front line again, she says, as the school year […]
At least 360 Democrat delegates, mostly Bernie Sanders supporters, have signed a pledge to vote against a Democrat national platform that does not include medicare for all. According to Politico’s delegate tracker, Biden has 2,632 delegates and Sanders currently has 1,076. The Dems are holding a ‘virtual’ DNC in Milwaukee in just three weeks and it looks there may be a repeat of the 2016 convention.

Growth in ether’s non-price metrics, too, has been impressive compared to those for bitcoin. For instance, […]

Is it like letting someone see you naked?’ I was kidding back then, but now it’s reality.” Holliday doesn’t know exactly when it will be safe to start seeing […]
