“The Trump administration is moving to allow married couples with a stay-at-home spouse to collect child care subsidies, a policy championed by Vice President JD Vance, using funds from a federal program intended to assist working parents.”

Trump Officials Draft Plan to Pay At-Home Parents, Using Funds for Working Ones (Gift Article)
The proposed benefit, a top policy priority for Vice President JD Vance, would apply only to married couples and tap a fund intended to provide federal child care subsidies to working parents.

This is what people voted for. Then they complain endlessly . . . and vote for it again. Geez people, look at what is actually happening, not what you're being told, and recalibrate.

Conservative backlash was supposed to put an end to the DEI movement as companies were warned “go woke, go broke”. But new research shared exclusively with the Guardian found that companies that kept their DEI practices performed just as well as their competitors who pulled back.
A chart showing stock performance of S&P 500 firms that maintained DEI policies versus all others, with those firms performing slightly better after the Trump administration's anti-DEI executive order.
