On my flights between DC and Denver recently, I've been reading The Curse of Bigness: Antitrust in the New Gilded Age by Tim Wu. A timely read about how corporate consolidation is influencing our democracy. Protecting and strengthening our democracy is the work of our lifetime.

What I'm Reading: Invisible Child: Poverty, Survival & Hope in an American City by Andrea Elliott follows a homeless child's journey for 8 yrs. I refuse to accept that children are the poorest people in America. We can change this with policies like the expanded Child Tax Credit.
