High-quality child care is one of the best tools we have to make life more affordable for families. In the richest nation in the world, we should invest in child care like public infrastructure. That’s why I’m leading the charge on delivering child care for Americans.

Historian here UT Austin has eliminated courses on slavery, civil rights, the Holocaust and women from its core curriculum. We know the kind of people who have censored history in the past. www.statesman.com/news/educati...

UT cuts all women and gender classes from core curriculum, drops race classes

The provost’s office also eliminated dozens of courses on race from counting toward the core curriculum.

Science shouldn’t be political. Researchers need stability to develop the cures and treatments patients rely on. President Trump’s repeated attacks on research funding will lead to fewer scientific breakthroughs happening in America. In San Diego, it means fewer jobs and more economic chaos.

Presidents with nothing to hide don’t ban reporters. But this President is historically corrupt—so he has a LOT to hide. Stand up for the Free Press. Every leader should condemn this.

19th-century #etiquette advice: "All differences and quarrels must be forgotten in the house of mourning...personal enemies who meet at a funeral must treat each other with respect and dignity." Now, that means not rising to the bait laid by provocateurs. Save your online arguments for another day.

Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro says RFK Jr. offered federal help after two unvaccinated people died from measles, the first U.S. deaths this year. Shapiro declined, saying PA could handle it, and confronted Kennedy, telling him: “There’s real life consequences to spreading misinformation.”

Marco Rubio is against birthright citizenship. But Marco Rubio *is* a birthright citizen. Ted Cruz is against birthright citizenship. But Ted Cruz was born in Canada. He only got US citizenship by a birthright citizenship law because of his US mother. They are both shameless hypocrites.
