For too long, social media companies have turned a blind eye when young children join their platforms. On Social Media Victims Remembrance day, we remember all the kids we have lost and recommit ourselves to passing legislation to keep kids safe online.

This is a generational change election. After 2024, people are simply not accepting the same tired, tarnished old leaders anymore. It used to be that running the old establishment candidate who had baggage but "experience" was the safe choice. Not anymore.

Not true -- this study measured screentime at 10 years old, and mental health at 14 years old. So it doesn't tell us anything about teen screentime and mental health. Screentime at 14 is very different than screentime at 10.

We are glad to see the Senate Commerce Committee advance the Children and Teens Online Privacy Protection Act known as COPPA2, today. It's been more than 25 years since this children's privacy law has been updated. Congratulations to Ed Markey and Bill Cassidy for leading this.

My gratitude to Governor Kathy Hochul for getting phones out of schools! An excellent bell-to-bell policy. This will help all of New York's children, including mine: governor.ny.gov/news/last-day-…

The decline in marriage rates has been driven mostly by the poorest 60% of Americans. Rates for the wealthiest Americans in particular, quintile 5, are essentially unchanged from 1980.

Pick up the phone, call your Senator. Let them know just how bad this provision is. Tell them to vote NO tomorrow on the language change and vote YES to strike the moratorium in its entirety. actionnetwork.org/call_campaigns…

My next book will be out Sept. 2! It features 10 clear rules to help parents introduce kids to tech only when they are ready -- and make sure it doesn't take over their lives. It's based on the research and what I've learned as the mother of 3 teens. bit.ly/4lBwLRw

Life in 1776: - heat is such a luxury that Thomas Jefferson can’t write in deep winter bc his ink freezes (one reason perhaps why Independence Day is in July) - nighttime darkness is such a burden that George Washington reportedly spent $15k in today’s dollars on candles every

A 12 year old needs sleep, conversation with peers, boredom, books, and a chance to figure out how to navigate the world independently. It harms them to hand over a thousand dollar device powered by algorithms that interrupts all the above, often because that’s “just how things
