4 weeks. Same problem. Our block smells like gas every 3–4 days. Neighbors call it in. @washingtongas shows up, sometimes digs & leaves. Fire Dept was called earlier this week. Tonight a van sat 2+ hrs & left. No work. No update. Gas smell still present. WTF cc @CMCharlesAllen

A shutdown is disruptive, but the consequences for children are serious. As I said in @SavetheChildren's statement: this isn’t just about budgets. It’s about U.S. leadership for kids, everywhere. 🔗 https://t.co/hNujdNH1hd

Ending this report doesn't end hunger...it hides it. For 30+ years, this data has been essential to measure progress, evaluate programs, and identify at-risk communities. This is a serious setback. Kids deserve better. @USDA #FoodSecurity #ChildHunger
We’re deeply concerned by @USDA's cancellation of the Household Food Security Report. This data has tracked hunger, especially in rural communities, & ensured programs like SNAP & WIC remain effective. Ending this report puts kids at risk.

Also joined @saveceo_us for great conversations on the House side, including with @RepTonyGonzales and the Chief of staff for @RepNewhouse, about why U.S. foreign assistance matters for kids. Grateful for their time and partnership. 👇
Grateful for meaningful conversations this week with Members of Congress and their staff on bipartisan efforts to protect children living through crisis—from Syria and Afghanistan to the DRC and Myanmar. @RepHuizenga

Anyone who lives here has been saying this for a while, but it’s now official…DC has the worst traffic in the country! 🚗🚙🚘 https://t.co/4jQZKzaFit

Cutting #foreignassistance that helps kids survive, learn, and grow is a step backward for U.S. leadership. As I said in @SavetheChildren’s statement: #Congress must keep lifesaving programs above politics. 🔗
savethechildren.org
Save the Children and Save the Children Action Network (SCAN) today expressed deep disappointment following congressional passage of the administration’s $9 billion rescissions package.
Congress just voted to cut nearly $8 billion in foreign aid, putting life-saving programs for kids at risk. This decision goes against bipartisan commitments and puts the world’s most vulnerable children at risk. Read our statement. 👉 https://t.co/8sSvgE282E

The House reconciliation bill includes wins for kids by boosting the #ChildTaxCredit & supporting employer-provided #ChildCare. As I say in @SavetheChildren’s statement, though, there’s more to do: full #CTC refundability & expanded CDCTC must be next. 🔗

The House of Representatives has approved a reconciliation bill that includes promising improvements to the tax code and sweeping changes to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).

Lifting sanctions on #Syria is a critical shift that can help kids and families who’ve endured over a decade of conflict. Policy isn’t abstract—it’s felt on the ground. Grateful @StateDept took this important step—and grateful @SavetheChildren works to make it possible.

As a girl, my mom took me to vote—it was tradition. She’d talk of protesting Vietnam & friends from countries w/out free elections. I reflect on the fight for my right to be heard when I vote, but you can’t vote if you’re not registered. #NationalVoterRegistrationDay #VoteReady
Today is #NationalVoterRegistrationDay! 🗳️ We know that sometimes it may feel like just one person can't make a difference. But our friend Jennifer Garner is here to tell you that you can! By voting. Check your voter registration status today. 👉 https://t.co/t48Qm3akmc

I had opportunity of talking with @RepAshleyHinson and @WhipKClark at last week's National #ChildCare Summit last week. It was a pleasure hosting you both. Thank you for joining us!
Last week, the @USCCFoundation hosted the National Child Care Summit in partnership with the @CommerceGov. @RepAshleyHinson spoke on the need to ensure all families can access affordable, quality childcare. “Childcare is not just a women’s issue,” she said. “It’s a family issue,
