Ages 0-4 are the most important, emotionally & intellectually, in human development.
Yet, in the US, we have a very high rate of childhood poverty and a broken child care system.
Congratulations to New Mexico for leading the way forward for high quality, free child care. Other states must follow.

Also worth noting that Zohran is doing well with a lot of leftist Jews in NYC, and is not afraid of engaging with Jewish voters across the political spectrum. JFREJ endorsed both Mamdani and Lander.

It's estimated that these moves could result in 200,000 premature deaths by 2050.

FYI rabbis and cantors who are alums of Brown University are organizing, asking the university not to capitulate to Trump's weaponization of antisemitism on the path to destroying higher ed and the diversity and freedoms that should accompany it.

Once on vacation I had to drive an hour to an FBI field office just to find a secure phone to call into a White House meeting. Pete Hegseth is an amateurish mockery to anyone who ever actually took security seriously and needs to go.
