I had the honor of addressing Miami Dade College's grads — about a third of whom are non-native English speakers and almost 60% are the first in their families to graduate from college.
As the daughter of refugees, I thought it was important to remind this year’s grads what makes America great.

Also, remember when the Trump White House reportedly received a proposal to reserve 30% of Fulbright scholarships for people who are married or have kids? (A form of DEI if you asked me…)
You can't pick and choose when you want a meritocracy.

Great question today from Justice Jackson! The Justice asked whether under the same argument in Mahmoud v Taylor parents could opt their kid out of a class taught by a gay teacher if they have a photo from their same-sex wedding displayed on their desk (the lawyer said the same rules would apply).

Well it ain't rocket science, folks.
If you want Americans to have more babies, there’s two logical places to start.
1. Lower the cost of child care.
2. Pass paid family leave.
