The U.S is the wealthiest country in the history of the world. We should not have the highest rate of child poverty of nearly every major country on earth. We should have the lowest. It's time to end this international embarrassment & create an economy that works for all.

Here’s your Sunday reminder: you don’t have to be the best. You just have to do what you can. It’s easy to burn ourselves out in our quests for perfection. So, this week, why not try committing to imperfect action on one thing and seeing how much less pressure that puts on you?
