The women who make up Independent Women are some of the most remarkable, smartest, and sweetest people I know. It's truly amazing to know and see the excellent work of @iwf_heather & @HadleyHeath! #IWgala2026

👫 Innovation Can Help, but It Cannot Replace Human Connection "While technology can reduce physical strain and help manage routine tasks, efficiency is not a substitute for human care & companionship." @iwf_heather via @dcjournal ⤵️ dcjournal.com/innovation-can…

💥 EXCLUSIVE MAGAZINE ARTICLE 💥 " Growing older should not mean giving up the life you’ve built. And helping a loved one age with dignity should not be this hard." By: @TheRebeccaWeber & @iwf_heather amac.us/newsline/lifes…

"Americans want to age in place, yet roughly one-third need this kind of support in order to do so..." @iwf_heather details the Independent Women x @AMACforAmerica collaboration, "Aging at Home, Living With Dignity." Read more: mcknightshomecare.com/news/groups-pu…

👫 Companionship >>> Bureaucracy "Society as a whole stands to gain when support structures are grounded in meaningful relationships, rather than bureaucratic definitions or inflexible standards." @carrielukas & @iwf_heather propose a better model for aging in place.

Helping Seniors—and the Women Who Care for Them | @iwf_heather "To truly support our loved ones and one another, we need smart policies that reflect the realities of caregiving— making it easier for families to access care and for caregivers to provide it effectively."

🔥 EN FUEGO @mobbs_mentality @IWF is calling out USAID fraud and abuse before @GOPoversight I don't want to hear another person lie that cuts to USAID = starving children.

Au pair program is a model for solving our child & elder care problems | "It would cost taxpayers close to nothing and create new, better, safer work opportunities for caregivers, while making it easier for families and seniors to get the help they need." @carrielukas @iwf_heather thehill.com/opinion/white-…

There are better ways to help people get caregiving help than massive new government programs. Here's one better, market-based approach (at effectively no cost to taxpayers) @IWF Au pair program is a model for solving our child and elder care problems  thehill.com/opinion/white-…

Knee-deep in the ashes of America's failure to effectively address homelessness, I was honored to be asked by @IWF to write this policy focus. RT's much appreciated, esp w/ tags to electeds that continue to support this prodigious policy failure, incl @POTUS @HUDgov @USICHgov @GavinNewsom @HollyJMitchell @ucsfbhhi @Benioff. #homelessnothelpless #answersbehindthereddoor #stopGoliath iwf.org/wp-content/upl…

Reckless remarks and hot takes responding to a Politico story about new polling by @KellyannePolls commissioned by @IWV. My team has not had ONE inquiry from those slinging insults. No one is telling GOP to celebrate contraception use. Politico spun you up. 🙄 Come to the source rather than take cheap shots online. We are REPORTING DATA from the field, REPORTING VOTER INTEL and working on messaging that DIRECTLY COUNTERS the left’s misinformation and fearmongering TO women about women and women’s health: iwv.org/2023/12/new-po…

Today, the Texas House will decide whether or not to provide households with more education options that will help students--especially those with disabilities who require customized learning--thrive. I pray our policy leaders will stand strong and give students a chance to win.

Buckle up kids, we’re gonna talk about how we could solve the student loan crisis and punish woke universities for their totally undeserved chokehold on the pipelines to power all in one fell swoop. 🧵

Excellent article by @iwf_heather of @IWF in @statesman. “Rather than giving these students the freedom to leave their government-assigned schools, they want to increase resources for the schools that are failing these children.” iwf.org/2023/04/03/the…

The education status quo is failing our children‼️ "It’s past time for policy leaders to reform our education system and ensure that funding follows students, not systems." Read more from @iwf_heather ⤵️ @statesman iwf.org/2023/04/03/the…
