@LeahLibresco This. Most “girlboss” working moms I know who had their first kids in their 20s, including me, could only take three months. (Which is more than most moms get!) But having kids in my 30s meant being able to scale down hours and take more time off.

I’ve been partially to fully remote at time of birth for two of my three kids. I went down to 30hrs/week for two years in the middle. Being able to throttle up and throttle down doesn’t mean “having it all” but blunting the tradeoffs.

Government assistance is not the dream for any American, but right now, it is the reality for too many hardworking people.   Americans trapped behind a benefits cliff are disincentivized from pursuing higher-paying jobs.   I introduced the Upward Mobility Act to create a system that empowers people to create a path for financial independence and a more hopeful future. husted.senate.gov/press-releases…

Les Ford, Alliance for Opportunity: “...don’t view work as a punishment. We view it is as a way to bring more opportunity for the people sitting on the sidelines of our society.” @les_a_ford

@PTBwrites Jumping in during my monthly twitter check. Tough exercise. Decided to rate by the album's best track and we had some movement: 1. Evermore (Tolerate It) 2. Red (All Too Well) 3. Midnights (You’re on Your Own, Kid) 4. 1989 (Blank Space) 5. TTPD (So Long London/How Did It End)

Dr. Lee Edwards, preeminent historian of the conservative movement & founding Chairman of the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation, has died. I hope you will take a moment to read my recent tribute in the Congressional Record, and draw inspiration from his life and legacy.

After her water broke early, doctors told Fatima Goines to prepare for her newborn’s death. Doctors told her no hospital could save such a premature baby. But they were wrong. 🧵on my latest investigation into the options we give parents of extremely premature newborns….

Should government-funded panels to study controversial policy questions exclude one side of the debate? Here’s a chance to un-stack the deck.

Asking for your help here. (Please RT.) There's a new National Academy of Sciences panel that is tasked with follow-on research from the 2019 panel on child poverty. It will be looking at the effect of the 2021 CTC expansion on child poverty. Here are the proposed members

In @NRO I argue that work requirements should be a red line for Republicans in Child Tax Credit negotiations. The emerging deal crosses this red line by requiring work only every other year. nationalreview.com/2024/01/congre…

@PTBwrites It’s really a devastating exercise. Putting any album with “Death by a thousand cuts” at the bottom of any list is going to haunt me.
