.Secretary Pete Buttigieg on running again: āThe honest answer is I donāt know. And the whole equation is just different.. Not in a way that rules things in or out, but itās definitely a different set of pros and cons, at least for as long as theyāre school age.ā notus.org/democrats/peteā¦
In an odd way for someone whoās an Iowa caucus winner and cabinet secretary, because he started so young, Pete Buttigieg has grown up and matured on public view. Dan Merica captures what has been an increasingly important chunk of that for him: being a dad

I really enjoyed this Dan Merica piece about Secretary Pete and how being a dad has changed him.
This change - āboundaries on your timeā - is so, so real. (Frankly, we should all operate this way, parent or not. Your time is a non-renewable resource!)

Iāve been heartened by the responses to this piece. Many have been from men who say they have grappled with these work/life balance questions, but donāt talk about it.
Itās something that impacted me when we had Denver.
More men need to talk about this. notus.org/democrats/peteā¦
āWork-life balance is still sometimes treated as though it were only a womenās issueā¦becoming a father helped me realize what was at stake for me personally in all of these debates about work-life balance, childcare and everything that goes along with itā notus.org/democrats/peteā¦
āAs for those presidential dreams, it seemed clear to me that Pete hadnāt given them up entirely. āI think it was Rahm Emanuel who famously said that the White House is very family-friendly if youāre the first family,ā he noted.ā ā¦Dan Mericaā© notus.org/democrats/peteā¦
Love this story by Dan Merica. It's likely Pete Buttigieg now will never hear the end of requests from friends to sing the bath time song he wrote for his twins.
What a fascinating Dan Merica story on Pete Buttigieg before and after having kids: notus.org/democrats/peteā¦

Biden is starting to get some credit from some of his biggest pro-Palestinian critics. The question now is whether he can win back some of the voters who have sworn him off entirely.

A must watch Monica Alba piece about how brothers half a world away are helping feed Palestinians in Gaza.
Hereās our NBC Nightly News with Lester Holt story on a Gaza soup kitchen run by brothers, a world apart. Most Palestinians are on the brink of famine and the need is even more critical with aid groups pausing operations this week in the wake of the deadly WCK strike.
