When women do invisible family labor well, it can look like they aren't doing anything at all. No one notices until they stop. Here's what we can do to change that for everyone's sake. https://t.co/FeAJZntize

Perfectionism may look like a strength, but at its core, it is anxiety demanding control or validation. Understanding its roots can help you let it go and heal. https://t.co/YRSVn2bfNY

Compassion helps us recognize the basic human frailty we all share, while contempt pushes us toward isolation and disdain. In close relationships, understanding a partner’s hurt often matters more than proving who has the facts. https://t.co/8fczLU9AD9

Medicinal cannabis for young people is an oxymoron. Teens and young adults using cannabis have markedly increased risks of addiction, depression, anxiety, and psychotic disorders, with very little upside. https://t.co/vCq73lJDrX

Under a corrupt, incompetent regime, Venezuela’s oil industry nearly died. Now Donald Trump has made a deal with essentially the same regime to revive it. The bargain is ugly, and creates incentives to block Venezuela’s transition to democracy https://t.co/IXazS7NUNg

Big Oil & President Trump don’t care that you are paying 50% more for gas this Labor Day weekend because they are profiting from these prices. It’s wrong. That’s why I’m pushing for the Big Oil Windfall Profits Tax Act.

Having a sense of purpose generally boosts happiness. But new research suggests that's only true for some kinds of purpose—others can actually make us less happy, writes @SMTaylorauthor https://t.co/OfbuVTwSyx

What a horrific thing for our commander in chief to say about people who sacrificed their lives for our country.

Ossoff: I want to remind you that my opponent, the bigot Congressman Mike Collins, is under federal investigation for the illegal misuse of tax dollars. 

It’s now been one week since I demanded that Mike Collins commit to testifying in this probe, which he has stonewalled and obstructed, according to the Office of Congressional Conduct. 

My pursuit of this commitment from Mike Collins was interrupted by the recent revelation of yet another Nazi sympathizer in the congressman’s staff. 

Today, I am restating my demand that Congressman Mike Collins commit to testifying in the ongoing federal investigation of his office’s illegal misuse of tax dollars.

NEW: Every week, a Philadelphia nun drives to the immigration court in Harlingen, Texas, to sit beside unaccompanied children, some as young as four, who face a deportation judge with no lawyer and no parent.

This week, an undocumented migrant who is facing imminent deportation called Sister Rose Kuhn his “angel.”

This comes as Catholics across the nation, inspired by Pope Leo XIV, are standing up to the White House’s immigration policies. https://t.co/yl40x0AOWb

Abdul El-Sayed: “I’m not a socialist, I’m a scientist, I’m a doctor. If I had one political philosophy it’s that I want us to build what we would build if we took seriously the idea that all of our kids were all of our kids. If we started with that idea that every child is our child, we would build incredible public schools, we would guarantee everybody healthcare, we would guarantee childcare, we would stop putting money in bombs and tanks that kill kids and we would start investing in infrastructure and opportunity for kids”
