This is great to see people calling out the struggles that low income individuals and families face every day. Let’s build a society that makes it easier to overcome those pressures.
Coco Gauff says playing tennis is not real pressure compared to people who are struggling to feed their families:
“I think it's just putting my life into perspective.. I realize in a way it's pressure, but it's not. There are people struggling to feed their families. There are people who don’t know where their next meal is gonna come from, people who have to pay their bills. That's real pressure, that's real hardship, that's real life.”
Great perspective from Coco. ❤️

Rut is amazing! Love to see her jumping into the race to make a difference in local politics! Workforce Development often is viewed as a state or national issue, when in reality its the local focus that gets stuff done!
It's official: I'm running for Burien City Council, Position #2.

This is a brilliant thread on an insightful study. Economic inequities are rising post Covid. The “mental tax” on low income households trying to optimize every dollar is something we see every day @SJIopeningdoors with our participants.
For months I've been wondering about the disconnect between the red-hot labor market & icy-cold consumer sentiment.
Why are Americans, particularly lower-income ones w/ the fastest wage growth, so pessimistic about their finances? What are we missing? 🧵

I recently introduced a bipartisan bill to help increase health care access in rural areas. The 8th District is ~10,000 sq miles. Many people need to drive a distance to receive care. We need to ensure there are doctors in rural areas to provide that care. schrier.house.gov/media/pres…

The power of public-private partnerships took center stage in Portland, Maine today. Deputy Under Secretary, Stacy Dean, praised Maine for its approach to growing the economy and restoring individuals’ career pathways through SNAP E&T. “Maine is a model for the nation.”

Amazon, Alphabet, Meta, Microsoft have collectively incurred $10 billion in expenses related to their massive job culls and cost cutting, while in return receiving $800 billion to their market caps as a reward from Wall Street. Totally ridiculous system. ft.com/content/9daf27f6-dde7…
