The taking of neighbors in communities around the country is so horrific. And, right here - how can anyone justify this - violently taking a child care teacher out of her classroom? Enraging is too weak a word to describe this. #Momsky activate.

“A surprising number of readers of my previous article asked if maybe more women are just realizing they “can’t have it all.” That only makes sense if by “it all” they mean the ability to eat, clothe and house themselves and their families.” By Jessica Grose www.nytimes.com/2025/10/22/o...

17 million kids are left behind in Trump's Child Tax Credit plan, including more than 4 in 10 Black children and 1 in 3 Native and Latino children #Trumpflation

The Trump Administration's policies are ripping away health care from millions of working families and also causing health care costs to increase for every American, including those with private insurance. Seventy-one percent of Trump voters opposing cuts to Medicaid. #Trumpflation

The Thrifty Food Plan, which determines SNAP levels, is being blocked from future increases by Trump & Republicans, taking food away from children, harming SNAP recipients, and hurting our economy. #Trumpflation

“What families need is reliable, stable child care options that meet their needs — affordable, convenient, with no wait list. The big Republican bill provides none of that.” @kashenj.bsky.social pulls no punches in new op ed for The Hill thehill.com/opinion/fina...

Expensive Back to School supplies are crushing parents & teachers. It’s no wonder they’re angry - Republicans promised to lower costs & failed. This is their economy and it might work for billionaires, but it doesn’t work for families. @chabeli.bsky.social latest in @19thnews.org

If you open TikTok, you'll see *dozens* of videos of moms and teachers complaining about school supplies. But "the issue here is not teachers vs parents. The real problem is the slashing of education budgets and the rising costs.” 19thnews.org/2025/08/scho...

Today is the Women’s Bureau’s 105th anniversary, and what did DOL Secretary Chavez DeRemer get for WB? Zero. Literally. Her FY26 budget eliminates it. I talked to @motherjones.com‬’s @juliannemcshane.bsky.social‬ about how GOP attacks on WB hurt women 🧵 #SaveWB www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Trump wants to eliminate a 105-year-old office that supports women
Staffers see the proposal as part of an effort to fundamentally reshape America's workforce.

I don't want this to get lost: after RFK Jr. finished with his tantrum, he ADMITTED he is blocking BILLIONS in federal child care funding. That needs to change IMMEDIATELY.

“The real crisis is one of care… The answer to the real crisis is not what we can gut and burn and take away from people, but what we can give them, the world we can create.” My piece in @usatoday.com. www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

We're worrying about the wrong thing. Low birth rate isn't the crisis: Child care is. | Opinion
Making more babies by threat, faux incentives, or even force is not a goal or a solution. And it ignores the desperate, real needs of families.

I’m proud to fight alongside families like Victoria and Cole - families whose entire lives are at stake as Congress plans to cut Medicaid to pay for tax breaks for billionaires. Rep. Bresnahan: We’re watching, and we won’t back down. Do the right thing and #ProtectMedicaid #CareCantWait

BREAKING: We're suing the Trump administration to protect Head Start, which provides early education, childcare, and other services for low-income children and their families. President Trump doesn’t have the authority to dismantle this vital program.

“Don't tell me what you value, show me your budget, and I'll tell you what you value.” The Republican-led Congress is back in town to work on the budget. They’ve given a lot of lip service to supporting a family friendly economy, but now is when we really see their priorities.

Does Donald Trump Really Think $5,000 Will Make Moms Have More Babies?
Policy advocates say the Trump administration’s reported ideas to encourage women to reproduce are not only missing the point—they are ignoring the actual problem.

Trump campaigned on lowering costs for working families and boosting our economy, but the tariffs announced by his Administration today will do the exact opposite.

Trump is waging an unprecedented attack on working families. Mass layoffs at the Dept of Ed will put school lunches & after care programs at risk. None of this makes the government "efficient," it just makes lives harder. My statement: familyfriendlyeconomy.org/news_stories...

Trump said barely anything on one of the most critical issues for voters: how he will lower costs. I guess this is one place where his words lined up with his actions. He’s done nothing. He said nothing. #stateoftheunion

Republicans released their budget proposal this week and simply put, you cannot be “pro-family” and support it. Here’s how their budget raises costs for families to fund massive tax breaks for the ultrarich: 🧵

CFFE’s lobby day brought us to Sen. Ossoff, who underscored how #childcare is basic infrastructure that allows families to make it all work. Parents like Sen. Ossoff (and me!) confront the daily challenges of child care that’s expensive and hard to find. This is why #carecantwait. Not a minute.

There’s a care crisis in this country - expensive #eldercare, too hard to find #childcare, no #paidleave. Sen. Tammy Baldwin experienced these challenges and it’s at the top of her agenda to fix. @cffe.bsky.social will work with our leaders to lower these costs for ALL families. #carecantwait

Our Campaign for a Family Friendly Economy (@cffe.bsky.social) team spent some time with Senator Hassan this week. She’s spent her career fighting for the policies that lower costs for families — paid leave, child care, home care. We are fortunate to have her leadership this year. #carecantwait

Hi. I’m Sondra. Child care and care for the aging or disabled is too expensive. And too many people lack paid leave. I’ll highlight for you who is committed to lowering these costs, especially in Congress. Because everyone should be able to both earn a living and care for their loved ones.
