On Child Tax Credit expiration:
“no help came this past week because we let the expanded credit expire during an unprecedented surge in COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations, and with prices rising on everything from groceries to utility bills.” - @DrRichBesser @DAcevedoGarcia (2)

“The most revolutionary part of President Biden’s agenda so far is his focus on a constituency that doesn’t write whiny op-ed columns, doesn’t vote, doesn’t hire lobbyists and so has been neglected for half a century: children.” - @NickKristof (2)
“Biden’s proposal to establish a national pre-K and child care system would be a huge step forward for children and for working parents alike. It would make it easier for moms and dads to hold jobs, and above all it would be a lifeline for…children.” - @NickKristof (3)

“Any policies that affect children should base their foundations on the best interests of the child.” #BestInterestsOfTheChild #SOTU (2)

We are asking lawmakers to ask and affirmatively answer one simple question when they are making public policy:
“Is it good for the children?” #SOTU (3)
