Anti-abortion extremists were never going to be happy leaving it up to the states. They’ve always wanted a national ban. And Louisiana v. FDA is a type of effort to get at least a national ban on medication abortion. https://t.co/FJkgFQ4zTl

Study (N=2,000) finds people liked to negotiate with women more than men, even when they did not know their negotiator partner’s gender. And women negotiators achieved economic outcomes on par with men.

SNAP’s era as arguably the nation’s preeminent anti-poverty program may be ending.

In few places has the response been as swift as Maine, which had a plan to feed its hungry by 2030. Then came Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill.”

In Dec., the Trump administration sent a letter to 39 governors, including WV Gov. Morrisey, asking them to stop taking foster kids’ survivors’ benefits and using them to pay for foster care. Many states have since acted. West Virginia isn’t one of them.

Trump changes a Nixon-era anti-poverty, pregnancy-prevention program to focus on increasing childbearing. This will align the program with the administration’s efforts to increase the U.S. birth rate. https://t.co/azcuaIWcP7

There's a reason the Michelle Obama-George W. Bush friendship goes viral every time: People are starving for decency. For respect without agreement. For politics without cruelty. Their friendship reminds us what we've lost, and what we can still choose.

Nearly 60 men and women from across West Virginia gathered just a mile from the New River Gorge Bridge before the state’s 163rd birthday for a multi-week program aimed at instilling in them a love for their state and a fire to spread the word to others.

Study finds even women who, before giving birth, were primary breadwinners tend to pause careers & endure income loss.This undercuts a motherhood penalty theory which posited that couples have the lower-earning partner decrease paid work for childrearing.

“So much of Black history is underreported, misrepresented, or simply lost … So many stories that would give us a fuller picture of America are known by so few Americans.” In 2021, @ClintSmithIII reflected on one effort to record Black American history: https://t.co/RLtiqp44oP

Children weren’t the target of federal food program changes, but they’re increasingly “collateral damage,” one expert said.

The drop in the number of children receiving SNAP benefits is a “public health crisis” in the making, said another expert.

Foster kids’ survivors’ benefits are a drop in the bucket of a massive system’s foster care funding. But if the money were preserved for the child to help them transition out of care, it would make a huge difference. “It gives them just a tiny leg up.”

We asked Americans to look ahead and share their expectations about the country’s economic outlook, its place in the world and several other topics.

Women are socialized to avoid conflict and at work may get backlash for engaging. While conflict is uncomfortable, reframe it as a skill rather than a threat. Leaders can normalize disagreements and model healthy ways to engage in good conflict.
