New parents in Sweden are guaranteed: - 480 days of paid leave - 80% of normal wages during that time New parents in the U.S. are guaranteed: - 0 days of paid leave - $0 of your wages during any time off How does that make sense in the richest country on earth?

If the current trends in our health metrics change between now and next Thursday, we will hit pause on the current plan. That’s the last thing I want to do – so let’s keep using common sense for the common good.

For #Juneteenth, we're looking back at important Black women in American politics, but we also have to understand this moment and the distance yet to travel. Read our most recent report with @HigherHeights, "Black Women in American Politics 2019" https://t.co/JBTbpy6KjM

2018 was a groundbreaking year for women in political office, but there is still more work to do. What have we learned since then—and what does it mean for future elections? @CAWP_RU is out with a fascinating analysis. Give it a read.

This is how @CNN is covering this debate, promoting conflict and then portraying it in heavily masculinized ways #GenderLens2020 #DemocraticDebate #DemDebate
