When weβre born, we have about 300 bones, but over time, we end up with just 206, because many fuse together as we grow.

His threat is illegal, immoral, and only causing more chaos and anxiety for food banks and hungry Americans.
Trump's tariffs are raising tens of billions of dollars for the federal government. They're also costing consumers, frustrating businesses and hurting the factories they're supposed to help. n.pr/49lJgOf
