        I sincerely doubt the GOP will take up her cause regardless of how important it is to Oklahoma families.

        On another note, could you explain why you voted for Benczkowski? Why would you vote to approve a man to head up the Criminal Division of the DOJ who has no experience as a prosecutor. Y’all are bound and determined to go down in history as the most incompetent party ever.

        Exactly! Why would Lankford confirm Benczkowski to oversee all criminal trials when the man has never stepped a foot into a courtroom? O+ the fact that he paid by was Russian oligarchs to certify that Russia did not interfere in our elections, which JL knows 2B a lie‽

        I'm glad to see your support here, but the erosion of the social safety net is a direct result of continuous conservative agendas. When you degrade the value of social services and the taxes that pay for them, children are often hit hardest and earliest.

        And thank you for this! Another Putin-linked, GOP-approved lawyer who has never tried a case and has no business leading the DOJ Criminal Division. But at least he can tell Jeff Sessions all about the investigations. Beyond shameful.https://www.npr.org/2018/07/11/628044184/senate-confirms-new-boss-for-justice-department-criminal-division …

        When Democrats advocate paid family leave, they are blasted as socialists. I’m happy at least some Conservative Republicans are considering socialist ideas.

        Please, PLEASE, take your gratitude for Ali’s story & your heartbreak over baby Shepherd’s death, & channel it into action of enact paid family leave. Many of us can not afford to have children without it, at all. It literally saves lives.

        Awful and sad outcome. These should not happen at this rate. Unfortunately the @GOP is more concerned about providing billions in corporate tax relief on the backs of defunding social programs and safety nets. The faith is misplaced, @gop is anti-American and should be abolished.

        we should be like EVERY OTHER DEVELOPED FIRST WORLD NATION and have not only paid maternity leave, but paid paternity leave as well. parents of any gender should be able to take time off during this critical developmental period without worrying about financial stability.

        A sad story. So many parents struggle to make the decision between work and caring for new children...for single parents there’s basically no choice. I hope this is an issue left and right can agree on

        There are a LOT of good ideas coming from @ShepardsWatch - Child Safety, Solutions to DAYCARE... Negotiating with Social Security for Parental support... MAKING LAWS TO FORCE EMPLOYERS TO PROVIDE SOME BENEFIT is NOT A GOOD IDEA. THAT'S SOCIALISM.

        I have no problem with this. I just wish the bigger issue wld be addressed. So, u stay home a few more weeks. Great. What's so different then? Daycare is not good for 6 month olds. We need lower taxes so moms can stay home forever! This is a bandaid.
