"Our current system forces working people to make the impossible choice between rent, childcare, or leaving the workforce altogether. Our bill would ensure no American spends more than 7% of their income on childcare." -- @aoc

Massive income and wealth inequality. 60% of our people living paycheck to paycheck. A dysfunctional health care system. A broken childcare system. We need to start paying attention to the needs of the working class of this country & stand up to powerful special interests.

Childcare is now more expensive than college. In the Legislature, I passed a bill to cut property taxes for childcare centers, allowing small businesses like Green Space Nature Preschool to cut costs for working families. In the Senate, I’ll keep fighting for our tiny Texans. 🌱

39 days into the Democrats' reckless DHS shutdown, HUNDREDS of TSA officers have left the workforce, and thousands more are calling out because they can’t afford necessities like gas, childcare, food, or rent. Democrats must END their DHS shutdown and pay our TSA officers.

The One Big Beautiful Bill solidified the largest tax cut in our history for our nation's workers. Among other groundbreaking reforms, the bill codified No Tax on Tips. This historic tax break will ensure that America's working families keep more of their hard-earned income.

Mamdani: Today is an incredible win for working people. We’re talking about a $1.2 billion commitment from the state of New York to the city of New York to make universal childcare a reality. This is money that means we can fix childcare for three-year-olds across the city, and begin delivering childcare for every two-year-old across the city. After housing, childcare is the number one crisis facing working families in this city. It’s the number one reason they’re leaving, because the average cost of childcare is $22,500 a year. What today’s commitment—and today’s partnership between the governor and myself—shows is that working families will no longer have to choose between the city they love and the family they want to raise.

The budget is in a weeks time - we haven’t even heard this government utter the word childcare let alone invest in it. That has to change in a weeks time for the sake of our economy and our families spending more on nurseries than they do rent or mortgages! @PregnantScrewed

Our economy is rigged. The rich get richer, while working families struggle to make ends meet. My ROBINHOOD Act would close the “buy, borrow, die” loophole that increases this wealth gap & would generate $30 billion/year — more than enough to fund universal childcare nationwide.

Too many parents are already forced to choose between paying rent and paying for childcare, yet Republicans are debating a bill that would allow employers to exclude childcare benefits from overtime pay. If they truly cared about children and families, they should pass my bill with Ranking Member Rep. Bobby Scott and Katherine Clark, the Child Care for Working Families Act.

🇺🇸 MAMDANI: UNIVERSAL CHILDCARE IS FINALLY HAPPENING IN NEW YORK You don’t have to agree on much to agree on this. Childcare has gotten ridiculously expensive nationwide, and it’s pushing families to the edge. Even people with decent jobs can’t make it work anymore. NYC Mayor Mamdani says this funding is meant to take some of that pressure off so having kids doesn’t automatically mean leaving the city: “Today is an incredible win for working people. We’re talking about a $1.2 billion commitment from the state of New York to the city of New York to make universal childcare a reality.

Healthcare system is broken, childcare system is broken, housing crisis of enormous consequence, climate change is threatening the entire planet... Stay focused on what is important to working people, expose the hypocrisy of Trump."

JD Vance: They (former U.S. administrations) would lose hundreds or thousands of American lives, and the American people would get nothing out of these misadventures. And now you have an American President who has empowered the American military to stop the flow of drugs into our country and to ensure that we — rather than our adversaries — control one of the great energy reserves anywhere in the world. And he did it without losing a single American life in the process. It’s going to make our country richer. It’s going to make our country more powerful.

We have a childcare crisis in this country. In my home state of Pennsylvania, the system is so broken that childcare workers would have to spend nearly half their annual salary to get care for their own kids. If Republicans were serious about affordability, they should consider the Child Care for Working Families Act.

🚨 Kemi Badenoch Slams Labour’s New Childcare Giveaway: “You’re Not Working So Why Do You Need Free Childcare?” Nick Ferrari on LBC: “Families on benefits must be given 33 free hours of childcare a week. Bridget Phillipson, Education Secretary, will say in a speech to be given today. Is that something you would see the Conservatives supporting, Mrs Badenoch?” Kemi Badenoch: “No, absolutely not. Labour are no longer the Labour Party, they are the Welfare Party. As even their Welfare Secretary said, all Labour MPs want is to tax more people. They keep asking who can they tax more to pay for more benefits. If you are on benefits that means you’re not working, so why do you need free childcare? There’s no common sense anymore.” Kemi is spot on. Labour are now the party of welfare, all they want to do is tax more people to give away on benefits. She’s right: why hand out free childcare to those not working? It makes no sense. 🤷‍♂️
