🧵#WorkingFamiliesNeedPaidLeave When I was in 4th grade, my mom got cancer. My dad, who was self-employed, had no #paidleave. My extended family didn't either but they rallied, risking their own jobs by scrimping days here & there to take time off to care for her and us. 1/8

@AlecMacGillis Umm this data is incorrect.

@NYCComptroller @NYCSchools @nycpa How can we make our voices heard?

[Molly Day @mollyday]

@NYCComptroller @NYCSchools @nycpa Thank you. Our kindergartener was routinely on delayed buses, oftentimes taking one hour to travel from her school 1.5 miles from our house. The school bus company also lied to us about adding another school to the route. It was and continues to be a total mess.

10 minutes reading a list from DOGE filled with errors.

No time spent on how to address the high cost of child care, rent, groceries, etc.

Because working families are not a priority for Republicans.

AOC: Why isn’t this moving? Republicans support it. Democrats support it. So what happened?

On December 15th at 415am, Elon Musk began firing off a barrage of social media posts opposing pharmacy benefit manager reform. All of a sudden, something that had almost unanimous support fell apart. We had nearly 435 members on board with it—he tweets, and it kills drug pricing reform that would save people money on their insulin, asthma inhalers, and everything they need.

And to top it off, five days after he kills pharmacy benefit manager reform, we get this tweet from Elon Musk: What is a pharmacy benefit manager?

The problem here isn’t a substance issue or a process issue—it’s an oligarchy issue, a power issue. And this room is where the power of the people resides. Everyone here was elected to be accountable to the people—not to be governed by tweets, but to be governed by their duly elected representatives.

So we can get this done; there are more of us than there are of him.

“I voted for Donald Trump. But this is not what I was expecting. We didn’t think they were going to take a chainsaw to a silk rug.”

Giving infectious disease research a break, as promised by the MAHA agenda.

Let's break down what exactly this Executive Order is *really* saying. Fortunately, I speak fluent anti-vax grifterese & can translate.

At the press conference outside of USAID headquarters, Senator Brian Schatz:

"If you want to change an agency, introduce a bill and pass a law. You cannot wave away an agency that you don't like or that you disagree with by executive order, or by literally storming into the building and taking over the servers. That is not how the American system of government works."

Nailed it!

Fun Fact: A 2% tax on the top 5 wealthiest billionaires would generate more revenue than the entire yearly budget of USAID.

I think I found the efficiencies DOGE was looking for.

None of this is legal.

@kendallybrown You truly did. Hats off. You ran a powerhouse program from day one until the last voting booth closed. 👏 👏

A reminder that JD Vance actually believes that the best childcare plan is women quitting their jobs or “menopausal women” like mothers-in-law doing childcare for free.

[Sondra Goldschein @SGoldschein]

Vance can try all he wants to frame himself as a pro-family candidate. We all know how he feels about cost-lowering policies that help working parents get by. #CareCantWait #VPDebate2024

Fun inside fact: JD Vance has to do his lil "side eye" thing once every three minutes per the terms of his contract with L'Oreal Paris ColorLast™ Eyeliner.

[Jessica Valenti @JessicaValenti]

Vance tells the story of a friend who said she needed an abortion in order to leave an abusive relationship, but doesn't say that the law he supports would have forced her to stay

[Headquarters @HQNewsNow]

Vice President Harris: No working family should pay more than 7% of their income on child care. It’s about a return on investment. Allowing people to work and pursue their dreams benefits us all. We also need to expand the Child Tax Credit to $6,000 in the first year of a child's life so that young families can afford their necessities

[Reshma Saujani @reshmasaujani]

As I said, @realDonaldTrump if you don’t have a plan to solve child care, you’re not fit to be president.

[Nick Jack Pappas @pappiness]

When you buy a gun, you’re shown pictures of gunshot victims.

If your neighbor suspects you of buying a gun, they can call a hotline.

If you’re from a state where guns are illegal, you can be arrested if you buy a gun out of state.

Oh sorry, these are all abortion laws.
