Favorite fact of the day:
NFL teams go through anywhere from 3,600 to 4,300 Uncrustables a week.
That's *at least* 80,000 Uncrustables a year.
PB&J really is the perfect food 🥜🍇😋
VP @KamalaHarris: “Caregiving is about dignity… And when we lower the costs, and ease the burdens people face, we will not only make it easier for them to meet their obligations as caregivers, we will also make it more possible for them to… pursue their economic aspirations. And when that happens, our economy as a whole grows stronger.” #CareCantWait #KamalaInvestsInUS #CaregiversforHarris
The videos coming out of @Columbia are vile. Peaceful protest is an American right, but this anti-semitism ain't it. It was just as vile when it was the right chanting "Jews will not replace us" at UVA — now that it's coming from the left doesn't make it OK. https://t.co/AANEqp5cpH
Ten American Flags.
Ten empty seats.
In honor of the Ten Americans being held hostage by Hamas.
Thank you @Giants for this poignant message. #BringThemHomeNow
Dear employers,
We stand on the brink of a genuine emergency: the impending #childcare funding cliff.
There is no rescue team on the way.
You are the heroes we need right now.

We need Congress to approve $16B in emergency funding for child care or:
❌ 3.2 million kids could lose their child care
❌ 70,000 child care programs could close
❌ Millions of families will have to pay more or leave jobs

"Childcare, childcare, childcare."
Working parents have made it clear that this is what they need. Let’s keep saying it until policymakers listen. https://t.co/DexvsrpG0T
Wrote about the looming economic crisis that’s about to happen if workplaces don’t adapt and federal policy continues to ignore caregivers. Thanks @reshmasaujani@theskimm@MomsFirstUS for bringing awareness to this issue and pushing for action.

I jumped into @OnsiteKids full-time because of the airport opportunity. Between the tight labor market and resurgent travel demand, the need for onsite care felt absolute.
Fast forward a year, and onsite child care is picking up steam as a must-have 🛫🛫🛫
Some U.S. airports are devising child care plans of their own for their employees, in an attempt to expand access to the service.
Pittsburgh International Airport is opening a 61-slot child care center next month — the first in a U.S. airport terminal. https://t.co/iYK90p5TDX
For @marieclaire, I wrote about the @VP’s latest announcement that could lower childcare costs for working families. Thanks, VP! (And I love that you’re rocking the @shepivotsthepod purple 💜) https://t.co/j2neq0xbWe
Ask young families—they know the child care industry remains in crisis. But House Republicans are happy to let pandemic funding for child care providers end & threaten to cut child care subsidies by 29%. We need investments in child care, not more cuts.
