Husband Of The Year

Model behavior. August 05, 2016 HUSBAND OF THE YEAR News broke yesterday that Melania Trump may have worked in the United States as a model on a tourist visa, which is technically illegal—even though Melania has previously suggested several times that she worked on a short-term visa.

Work work work work work. The jobs numbers are in for July and 255,000 new jobs were added to the economy. Employment growth has been healthy, but, as Center for American Progress economist Michael Madowitz explains, "significant risks to the economy remain." So, maybe we might not be able to afford Trump's economic recklessness right now. Child care crisis. High-quality affordable child care is out of reach for millions of American families, particularly for African-American families who are working more and earning less. This just in: The average annual cost of center-based child care for an infant and a 4 year-old eats up 42 percent of the median income for a typical African American family. We clearly need solutions to help put child care more in reach for families. Read more here. Share On Twitter No experience. Another national security leader has decided that Donald Trump may "pose a threat to our national security." In an op-ed titled "I Ran the C.I.A. Now I'm Endorsing Hillary Clinton," Michael Morell explains that Donald Trump is unqualified to be commander in chief and is also dangerous.
