@4earlysuccess Encouraging to read. If we could provide a more comprehensive, longer-lasting home-visiting program we'd likely have better, longer lasting outcomes.

@melindagates Well-done! Such an important and effective message.
Good to hear of the foundation's expanded focus on poverty in the US! x.com/gatesfoundatio…
We know our followers are curious, inquisitive and anxious to know the why behind much of the work we do. @BillGates and @melindagates answered 10 of the toughest questions they get for their 2018 Annual Letter: gates.ly/2o3hFsH
@Renee_NCCP Agreed. Let's make it so that the right services are available to the right children -and their families- at the right times in their lives. No more one-size fits all.

@dymbartlett @WalterGilliam Have been following this work for some time and it's great to see it getting a wider audience. The US has much work to do to ensure that all young children arrive at school prepared to learn and succeed!

.@SpeakerRyan said that he plans to use the deficits attributable to the tax cut as an excuse for cuts in food stamps, Medicaid and Medicare. We're not going to let that happen. They want “welfare reform?” We’re going to supercharge the discussion about corporate welfare reform.
Well-said, Rebecca. Young children are more likely to be poor than any other age group. A great nation protects its most vulnerable x.com/rebeccavallas/…
