Jumping on this old platform just to appreciate @WPFWDC for the dissonant and intriguing jazz show this Xmas morning. Perfect for my mood and wouldn’t hear this mix otherwise. <3 it.

In the first vote of the veto-override session, the House has voted 116-31 to override the Governor’s veto and pass the 2023 Child Care Bill (H.217).

Vermont is now a national leader in child care.

Half of Americans say #PaidLeaveForAll would make them more motivated to vote—especially young people, women under 55, Black & Hispanic voters, moms, battleground voters. We also know paid leave is a top priority for women swing voters. Sounds like a winning new American majority

[Sondra Goldschein @SGoldschein]

Not only is paid leave popular, but it's motivating. Just like @family_economy has found talking to voters in battleground states over the last 8 years, today's @NavigatorSurvey shows people are more motivated to vote if Congress passed #paidleaveforall.

In her new book, “Pandora’s Gamble,” Alison Young “lays out the shocking extent of lax laboratory standards and procedures,” writes @zeynep, “and lack of accountability and transparency, in the United States and around the world.” https://t.co/ToIQEjjQSt

ICYMI: An excerpt from Pandora's Gamble in @USATODAY: "The story of how the H5N1 viruses came to be created – and the response to a 2019 safety breach – raises uncomfortable questions about the tremendous trust the world is placing in research labs." https://t.co/zcv5XvZPjx

Main Street Alliance member Akshata Nayak on the importance of comprehensive paid family and medical leave for small business owners. Vermont State Senators can move this priority legislation now! https://t.co/DDNH5W30Hg

[Shawn in WI @ShawnFetta]

Efforts focused on making healthcare, food assistance and other programs harder to access results in punishing workers and families instead of making the critical investments we need to grow our economy. We believe in a better way by INVESTING in Main Street.

Main Street Alliance supports the Secure Viable Banking Act introduced by @SenWarren and @RepKatiePorter because small businesses are the primary drivers of their local economy and they shouldn’t have to worry about the sustainability of their banks.

The private sector is an key #PaidLeave partner.

I was happy to co-author this piece on healthier and more diverse workforces and steps businesses can take to lead on leave with @BSRnews and @9to5org.

1/ Thank you @POTUS. I couldn't be happier to hear #Care as major unfinished business -- and priorities for the year(s) ahead. Good for the economy. Good for families. We can't afford inaction.

💣BOOM: @POTUS urges Congress to bolster antirust enforcement and rein in Big Tech’s power.

“Pass bipartisan legislation to strengthen antitrust enforcement and prevent big online platforms from giving their own products an unfair advantage.”

@rose_metro Thank you for this piece. Looking forward, longing to read the book.

Watching talking heads claim that "legal in most cases" is the *Republican* position on abortion is... wild. It is not: The Republican Party has been clear that they want to outlaw abortion in nearly all cases, and where they are in power, they have done just that.
