| It's Monday. This is something that everybody must reckon with going forward today. Good luck. Hope you had a good weekend. |
| So let's start this week by agreeing that this newsletter is the coolest you subscribe to and that USA TODAY Opinion is out here looking to bring some clarity and conversation to the topics we're all wrestling with. |
| That and that Mondays are trash. Welcome to our newly constructed newsletter. Here we go. |
Protect LGBTQ people |
| New this morning is a column from Barbara Satin on the Equality Act and the need to protect LGBTQ people. |
| "The truth is the protections I have as a transgender person in Minnesota don't hold when I travel across state boundaries to attend meetings or visit friends in other places where non-discrimination protections don't exist." |

Most families need child care and paid leave |
| Vicki Shabo is a senior fellow on Paid Leave Policy and Strategy at the New America. Marcia St.Hilaire-Finn is founder and CEO of Bright Start Early Care & Preschool and a Main Street Alliance Member. |
| So you can trust them when they write about what families are looking for. |
| "If we truly want to give parents choices, we need to offer options for providing and receiving care while meeting household expenses and saving for emergencies and the future." |
| Thankfully, they also offer some ways to help families get the help they need. |
Is Biden setting up Harris for 2024 failure? |
| Kamala Harris is already the frontrunner for the Democratic nomination in 2024, making everything she does – and every assignment she is given – fodder for political attacks. And the job is not exactly a glide path. |
| After a quiet start, Joe President Biden has put her in charge of two of the most radioactive issues facing the nation: immigration and voting rights. It prompted headlines like these: "Biden Handed Harris a Political Grenade" and "Kamala Harris Can't Win." |
Height of Republican hypocrisy |
| Michael A. Cohen wrote about the January 6 Capitol riot and how he said the Republican party is downplaying the riot while going after protesting rights. |
| "It's bad enough that Republicans, writ large, are embracing former President Donald Trump's Big Lie that he "won" the 2020 election, and pushing out those who would dare to point out his dishonesty. On the state level, they are now seeking to silence and intimidate their political critics in order to maintain political power." |
Stop working so much |
| Chances are you reading this before you start your works or, and be honest, while you're in a meeting. |
| We are slowly recovering from the pandemic. For some, that's going to mean going back to "normal" at work. |
| Joy Lanzendorfer asks: "As the country starts up again, is it finally time to change our attitudes toward overwork?" |
| I'm writing this newsletter Sunday night, at around 11 p.m., so I'll go read Lanzendorger's column again and see what he has to say about "workaholism". |
Wait, don't go yet |
| We had a busy weekend. See if any of these columns give you a reason to not overwork today. |
