Our business started in San Francisco. We just don’t feel safe anymore,” said Frankie Lee, Sunset Subs and Irving Subs manager.In each case, tablets were stolen, windows were shattered and doors were broken. The break-ins became so bad the family decided to close their Mission location, Valencia Subs."Even our employees don't really feel safe. It was very hard to hire at that location. They never knew when someone would come in and steal something,” said Lee. 3 pedestrians struck by car, infant dies in San Jose Two locations still remain open in the Sunset District, Irving Subs on 12th Avenue and Sunset Subs on 9th Avenue.

No Labels Board Member: If MLK Were Alive Today, He’d Be Aligned With Joe Manchin and No Labels

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 19:54:49 GMT

At the No Labels luncheon at the Puritan Backroom in Manchester, New Hampshire, on Monday, the punchline was hard to miss. A who’s who of failed moderate politicians and politicos — including former Sen. Joe Lieberman, former Govs. Pat McCrory and Jon Huntsman Jr., and former Reps. Fred Upton and Joe Cunningham — gathered alongside Sen. Joe Manchin. They were assembled to tout their political program in the form of a 73-page centrist manifesto outlining the path forward for a moderate American presidency. Neither press nor clergy were seen entering the private event, where, in a literal backroom, the fading stars of a puritanical third way met to further a plan that they have all but described as political blackmail.  Most Read As Democrats Line Up Behind Israel’s Right-Wing Government, One Progressive Candidate Says He Is Unafraid of AIPAC ...

Maine governor expands access to abortion later in pregnancy

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 19:54:49 GMT

AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) — Democratic Gov. Janet Mills signed a bill into law Wednesday that expands access to abortions later in pregnancy in Maine, joining a half-dozen states that leave it to doctors and patients to make the decision without restrictions on timing.The new law allows abortions at any time if deemed medically necessary by a doctor, making the law one of the nation’s least restrictive. The old law banned abortions after a fetus becomes viable outside the womb, at roughly 24 weeks, but allowed an exception if the patient’s life is at risk. Mills said during her reelection campaign that the old law didn’t need to be changed. But she reversed course after learning of a Maine veterinarian who had to travel to Colorado for an abortion after learning at week 32 of her pregnancy that her unborn son had a fatal condition that would not allow him to survive.The veterinarian, Dana Peirce, was present at the bill signing, standing behind the lectern alongside medical pr...
