LOADING ERROR LOADINGEven by the usual Donald Trump standards, this week was bonkers. Trump is statistically tied with Vice President Kamala Harris in polls of critical battleground states that will determine the winner of November’s vote. And we got a lot of bad genes in our country right now.”Trump has long used hostile rhetoric against immigrants. Also this week, Trump continued to lie about the federal government’s response to recent hurricanes, falsely claiming storm victims would receive nothing more than a $750 stipend and that the Federal Emergency Management Agency had run out of money. CORRECTION: A previous version of this story incorrectly characterized Donald Trump’s comments on Thursday around the word “rape.” Trump used the word in regard to companies.

What Does 'Minimum National Standard' for Abortion Mean?
However, numerous abortion-rights activists and Democratic politicians claimed a "minimum national standard" for abortion is just another name for a national abortion ban. When they say a national minimum standard, they mean a national abortion ban. So what do politicians and activists mean when they say a "minimum national standard" for abortion? A "minimum national standard" for abortion is framed differently by those who support abortion rights and those who oppose abortions. Snopes contacted Vance's team for clarification on how the campaign currently defines a "minimum national standard" and whether Vance currently supports any current legislation regarding a minimum national standard.

Grateful children make parents happier and less stressed, new study suggests
The study involved 593 parents of children ranging in age from 4 to 17 years old. "When children express gratitude, it helps parents feel seen and valued, reminding them that their love and dedication have a positive impact," Kannali said. Additionally, when parents feel acknowledged, they're often more motivated and engaged in their role, which can lead to happier interactions and a more fulfilling family environment. Gratitude from children helps parents feel less stressed, more appreciated and happier overall, simply because it shows that the child cares, according to Mia Rosenberg, LCSW, a psychotherapist with Upsider Therapy in New York.
