@MartinEpi Miss you.

[Kate Gillespie @KateWGillespie]

@dcjretiresecure I’m so sorry to hear this, David.

[Kate Gillespie @KateWGillespie]

@sam_baker I think this is also true for office thermostats? 🤔

Excess demand from #COVID19 cases will cause a shortage of nearly 50,000 beds across the US, and more concerningly, a shortage of over 14,000 ICU beds. Learn more ➡️📈https://t.co/dEcn5E6i6g

All women deserve a healthy pregnancy and safe childbirth. Despite global gains over the past 30 years, too many women continue to die in pregnancy and childbirth. Learn more in our new report with @MSDforMothers on #maternalhealth: https://t.co/LcFcw1KGQn

@maustermuhle @dcpl I think there’s a one week grace period after the due date - so you’ve totally got this!

[Kate Gillespie @KateWGillespie]

@MartinEpi Awww!! Congratulations and very well deserved, Em! (I am still wondering what happened to those exploding keyboards way back when...)

@rachaelbrown @aainmtpleasant @mattyglesias This is a stretch. DCPS used to post info on (non-trivial!) number of unmatched 3 and 4 year olds... not to mention those whose families don’t apply because chance of winning an out of boundary seat is so remote.

[Kate Gillespie @KateWGillespie]

@maustermuhle @KarlEgbert Yes, parents need relief from the crushing financial expense of raising kids in DC, but the teachers/providers need to earn enough to make a living. So what’s the answer?

[Kate Gillespie @KateWGillespie]

@maustermuhle @KarlEgbert In an expensive city like DC, daycare tuition is high (often higher than $20k/year) - but it doesn’t go that far. I didn’t even mention toys, enrichment, professional development, insurance, etc...
