TY @RepJimmyGomez and @DadsCaucus for inviting me to this important roundtable ahead of Father's Day! And most of all, for championing the hardest work of Americans across this country...parenting.

[Congressional Dads Caucus @DadsCaucus]

Our #FathersDayWeekofAction roundtable just wrapped! Our expert panelists discussed the importance of #PaidLeave for all parents and how dads spending time with their newborns increases health outcomes for the whole family. We can all benefit from family friendly policies!

[Institute for Policy Research at Northwestern @IPRatNU]

To improve maternal and child health, fathers must be included in services and policies designed to support families, @DrTovaWalsh and @CFGarfield argue in a @thehill op-ed. "Fathers are central, not peripheral, to their families," they write.

They won the Soccer Bowl over the New York Cosmos, giving Chicago its first championship in any sport in 18 years.

How big were the Sting back then?

🤣 Do you remember this adorable video from a few years ago featuring @ComedianDJPryor "chatting" with his son? It’s one of our favorites because it is a great example of a serve & return interaction.

Dads' love and language play a unique role in shaping our future 💙

Having more women at all levels of government will make government work better—and there’s a realistic path to getting there.

In my latest op-ed, I reflect on what it’ll take to make our government truly representative of the people it serves. https://t.co/j7ReaHKROo
