Our broken child care system can learn a lot from New Mexico - the state that is leading the way in guaranteeing free child care for all.
There is no better rate of return than investing in our children.
The rest of the country should follow New Mexico’s lead.

Sounds like fun to me.
So is it just a Northern Ireland thing that on Boxing Day, you basically do a rerun of Christmas Day, making another dinner from scratch etc? Conversation with an English friend the other day suggests it is. Shocked.

Pope Leo said in a Christmas Eve sermon that the story of Jesus being born in a stable because there was no room at an inn should remind Christians that refusing to help the poor and strangers today is tantamount to rejecting God himself. For @reuters.com

Have you ever heard someone go off, and their words are so perfectly chosen, so well said in that moment, that you’re in awe? You think, “There’s nothing to add here,” and you applaud in your head.
That’s exactly this. Pure perfection. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Today I joined patriots at the Kennedy Center to make clear that Trump’s desecration of the Center will not stand. It’s not a matter of whether, but of when, his name will come down. We will not allow him to despoil what belongs to the American people.

Ann Lowe was the Black genius behind Jackie Kennedy’s iconic wedding gown.
Before the fashion world was ready to credit a Black woman’s talent, Lowe was already designing for America’s most powerful families. Brilliant. Bold. Innovative. Undervalued. And nearly erased from history.
