I have spoken with hundreds and hundreds of parents since 2020, and affordable childcare has near unanimous support.

"The answer to the manosphere’s dark turn is rooted in embracing men with sincere affection, shunning the zero-sum calculus of the gender wars and offering a vision of masculine virtue that inspires men to heroic acts of compassion rather than vicious acts of aggression." @davidfrenchjag.bsky.social

Gender relations in the U.S. are broken. This is how I think we can go about fixing it.

To be clear: This isn’t about ignoring girls, or pretending their fight is finished. Far from it. It’s about building a future big enough for both to thrive because opportunity is not zero-sum, progress is not zero-sum, and empathy is not zero-sum.

My daughters were part of Girls Who Code. The programs were inspiring, community building, and taught them skills they use in their careers today. Skills unavailable in curriculums in schools in this country. @reshmasaujani.com gave the speech we need at this time👏

You’re telling me this is a better use of state funds than child care and paid family leave? 🤔

I had the honor of addressing Miami Dade College's grads — about a third of whom are non-native English speakers and almost 60% are the first in their families to graduate from college. As the daughter of refugees, I thought it was important to remind this year’s grads what makes America great.

HERE’S THE THING: Women aren’t having fewer children because we’re confused about our bodies or waiting on a gold star. We’re having fewer children because this country makes parenting nearly impossible to afford — or survive.

Good. Also, remember when the Trump White House reportedly received a proposal to reserve 30% of Fulbright scholarships for people who are married or have kids? (A form of DEI if you asked me…) You can't pick and choose when you want a meritocracy. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/24/u...

Great question today from Justice Jackson! The Justice asked whether under the same argument in Mahmoud v Taylor parents could opt their kid out of a class taught by a gay teacher if they have a photo from their same-sex wedding displayed on their desk (the lawyer said the same rules would apply).

Well it ain't rocket science, folks. If you want Americans to have more babies, there’s two logical places to start. 1. Lower the cost of child care. 2. Pass paid family leave.

“The government is asserting a right to stash away residents of this country in foreign prisons without the semblance of due process that is the foundation of our constitutional order." -Chief Judge J. Harvie Wilkinson III, lifelong conservative and Federalist Society member appointed by Reagan
3 paragraphs of text from an opinion:     It is difficult in some cases to get to the very heart of the matter. But in this case, it is not hard at all. The government is asserting a right to stash away residents of this country in foreign prisons without the semblance of due process that is the foundation of our constitutional order. Further, it claims in essence that because it has rid itself of custody that there is nothing that can be done. 

    This should be shocking not only to judges, but to the intuitive sense of liberty that Americans far removed from courthouses still hold dear. 

    The government asserts that Abrego Garcia is a terrorist and a member of MS-13. Perhaps, but perhaps not. Regardless, he is still entitled to due process. If the government is confident of its position, it should be assured that position will prevail in proceedings to terminate the withholding of removal order. See 8 C.F.R. § 208.24(f) (requiring that the government prove “by a preponderance of evidence” that the alien is no longer entitled to a withholding of removal). Moreover, the government has conceded that Abrego Garcia was wrongly or “mistakenly” deported. Why then should it not make what was wrong, right?
