Hi! Since others are talking about my book, thought I'd share a little about it. The book is a love letter to women everywhere wondering why their time just isn't adding up. It turns out, it's not you! We are getting massively squeezed by structural changes! 🧵

Trump's tariffs are hurting us in two ways:
First, the obvious: Higher costs → either lower profits or higher prices.
Second, more subtle (perhaps bigger): We’ve signaled we’re an unreliable partner, so allies are reorganizing supply chains to avoid us. That's hard to unwind.

SNAP benefits the economy and provides needed economic stimulus. Every dollar spent on SNAP creates $1.54 in economic activity.
Feeding the hungry benefits everyone, not just those who depend on SNAP.

This is exactly what Rep Jerry meant when he said it was time for someone younger to have a turn 🙄
I guess when you've only ever been a politician you just keep trying to get elected to office, it's not like you can get a job as a sex pest or elder killer.

My bad, I thought the point of a passport was to identify someone NOW, not identify their naked baby photos...
Honestly one of the worst, most disturbing paragraphs — on the basis of process, substance, and effect — I’ve read in a Supreme Court order or opinion in a very long time.

I am really trying to get people to understand how much what is happening to our children in Chicago with regard to ICE abductions is like school shootings/gun violence: the random and massive exposure to this particular violence will imprint on a generation and no privilege can fully shield you.
This was horrific to watch. Agents entering a daycare, wrestling with and abducting a teacher in front of small screaming children. I just… what the fuck are we doing here.
this morning, ICE went into a Spanish language immersion daycare and took a teacher from the building in front of screaming and crying kids and parents at dropoff and the daycare had to shut down for the day (near Lane Tech, where they were yesterday). Really hoping today's "theme" is not "daycare."

Lindsey, Charlotte, and a number of other unimaginably brave women deserve enormous credit for kicking Andrew Cuomo out of New York politics for good.

can’t tell if my antidepressants aren’t working or if they just weren’t built for this. like, zoloft was introduced in the 90s it barely needed to work then. if you got sad you could just buy a house.

I wrote in the New York Times about how I think companies saying women are leaving because of "return to office" is a cop out. Nursing, a fundamentally in person job, is almost 90% female. So what do women really want? Boundaries.

Look, there are real financial issues in Gen Z, like predatory new financial instruments Afterpay / Klarna. The once a week pastry is not it!! $6 for coffee once a week is not rent.
“At the same time, more than half of Gen Z members say they are struggling to make ends meet, yet a majority buy themselves a small treat, such as a pastry, coffee, or sweet, at least once a week. That can lead to overspending…”

Food access is a human right. Everyone deserves to eat. In the past day, more people have googled the words "food bank" and "food pantry".

If you make 130% of the federal poverty level, you qualify for SNAP.
A family of four, making $40,560, qualifies for SNAP benefits meaning thousands of Missouri teachers qualify.
I’m tired of the bullshit. Most of the people who receive snap benefits work.
