New newsletter: MODERN FATHERHOOD WOULD BE UNRECOGNIZABLE TO A 1950'S DAD

Compared to their Boomer parents, childcare time among Millennial dads has more than doubled.

Compared to their Silent Generation grandparents, it’s nearly quadrupled.

You will be hard-pressed to find any part of day-to-day modern life that has changed more in the last half-century than the way today’s parents—and fathers, in particular—spend their time.

The new American dad is more present and more exhausted—but also, more satisfied with life. What's behind this half-century transformation? Today's piece combines history, economic analysis, and gorgeous charts galore from @AzizSunderji

not to be a broken record, but if Joe Biden had axed hundreds of FAA officials, fired the TSA chief, froze air traffic controller hiring & then we had *multiple* planes falling out of the sky in a **single week** — the articles of impeachment would already be drawn up

Kash Patel claimed he never promoted QAnon at his confirmation hearing. As the person who did the reporting on this, thst is blatantly false. He lauded Q, signed books with the QAnon slogan, promoted a Q Truth Social account, & even helped create a Flannel Friday trend in Q world

Our residents keep booking those "available flights," and they are canceled repeatedly, and guess what? The cost of airfare for the one available commercial flight is $8,000. When I told the @StateDept about the cost barrier, their reply is "we will provide them with a loan."

Some Jewish voters are upset Harris chose Walz over Josh Shapiro

Many voters don't know that Walz wrote his masters thesis on how to improve education on the Holocaust. As governor, he pushed for a mandate to teach about the Holocaust in Minnesota schools

Growing up, I learned to be generous toward my neighbors, compromise without compromising my values, and to work for the common good.

@KamalaHarris and I both believe in that common good – in that fundamental promise of America. We’re ready to fight for it. And like she says: when we fight, we win.

If the first thing you say about trans people is about bathrooms or sports & not about how to make the world safer for these beautiful children of God, you need real help.

This legitimately shocked me. Please do listen. Any description of how offensive it is won’t do it justice.

[Tommy Vietor @TVietor08]

My wife and I had multiple, soul-crushing miscarriages, and one still born daughter before we were able to have children. Millions of parents are desperate to have kids but simply can't. Treating people without children like they are lesser human beings is unbelievably cruel.

This. But the unwillingness to confront the fact that the wealth class is using the Court and our political system to dismantle democracy in order to expand their dominance is rooted in the fact that corruption is widespread and at the root of how business is done.
