Ages 0-4 are the most important, emotionally & intellectually, in human development. Yet, in the US, we have a very high rate of childhood poverty and a broken child care system. Congratulations to New Mexico for leading the way forward for high quality, free child care. Other states must follow.

House GOP just unveiled $4 Trillion in tax cuts - overwhelmingly for the wealthy - in a country that already leads the developed world in inequality. Look at where the US stands right now: Top 1%: 20% of income CEO pay: 354x workers Child poverty: 21% And they want to make it worse. On purpose.🧵⬇️

Happy Thursday! We are almost through the week! We had no sunrise today but there were some stellar colors to the north as the sun provided some beautiful backlighting on our behalf. Tap for full size. I hope you have a great day!

I know Virgil Starkwell (Woody Allen) played Cello in a maching band in Take the Money and Run, but until this, I'd never seen it done. Just great. ❤️

House Republicans have completely rolled over for President Trump, abandoning their constitutional duty. They weren’t elected to serve one man—they were elected to serve the people. Their cowardice weakens our democracy and disgraces a co-equal branch.

Pediatricians say that childhood vaccines are safe. A heroin-addled nepo baby with a brain worm says they may not be. For busy voters, it can be hard to know who to believe.

Scanlon: The Gulf of Mexico was so named over 500 years ago. If we want to update that name to reflect our current culture, maybe we should call it the Sea of Emoluments—you know, the place where we can board the Ship of Fools and navigate from a State of Ignorance to the Confederacy of Dunces…

Even if you accept Stephen Miller’s (textually, historically, and morally indefensible) claim that undocumented immigrants are not entitled to due process, you’d still need due process to ensure that the individuals at issue are, in fact, undocumented. His argument fails even on its own terms.

Today, U.S. Department of Education will resume collecting on defaulted student loans. It sounds hard to believe, but college used to be free. This is the real story behind skyrocketing student debt. (Spoiler: It has a lot to do with Ronald Reagan)
