WASHINGTON (AP) — Solid majority of Dems want Biden to bow out, AP-NORC poll finds, undercutting his claims average party members back him.
PSA for other moms who travel for work:
Overnight breast milk delivery services like @MilkStork *sound* great until the milk that you spent hours pumping arrives three days late thanks to an unexplained @FedEx delay.
(Yes, this just happened to me.)
The milk was still pretty cold when it got here, which was a minor miracle, but CDC guidelines say it only lasts for four days in the fridge, so now I get to research whether any of the milk is plausibly usable.
BUT a @milkstork rep said that in the future, they "hope my next experience will be flawless." Great vote of confidence in their own service.
Another expensive "convenience" for working moms turns out to be stress-inducing and unreliable.

Working on a story and looking to chat with people of all ages who feel like they aren't getting enough rest. DM me if that sounds like you!
“When a Democrat’s in, I support” a strong presidency, Bidon said. “When Republicans are in, I don’t support it that much. It’s sort of a wishy-washy thing.”

Trump is on the verge of winning several hundred more GOP delegates on Super Tuesday.
But by staying in the race, @NikkiHaley has highlighted Trump’s political problems with key constituencies & suggested he's a “sinking ship.”
My latest w/ @ameliatd:

And also -even if you're pregnant or just had a baby, a new job is still possible. I almost didn't consider this position because it posted when I was 7 months pregnant and I assumed I wouldn't be able to interview on their timeline or start many months later. I was wrong!
