Senate approves Ivanka Trump-backed paid family leave for federal employees

The United States and New Guinea are the only two countries out of 170 that do not currently provide financial support during maternity leave, according to the United Nations. Instead, the 25-year-old Family Medical Leave Act simply required employers with 50 or more workers to grant parents 12 weeks of leave annually to care for a new child -- but did not guarantee pay during that time.

This new policy represents another incredible win for millions of hard-working American families courtesy of President Trump!"And her father, the President, called for a national paid family leave program during the presidential campaign and his proposed budget is the first to include a national paid family leave program. He is expected to sign the legislation.The President also offered praise for the initiative last week.

IvankaTrump Ivanka next President 👍👍👍👍

IvankaTrump No credit to Ivanka. This bill was a legislative I’ll produced by House Democrats.

IvankaTrump Why is IvankaTrump retweeting CNN. I thought they said it was fake news.

IvankaTrump Socialism! MAGA2020

IvankaTrump your amazing keep up your wonderfull work we love you

Trumps helping Americans while the DEMS are destroying America. See the difference between the two

IvankaTrump Fake news

IvankaTrump Love you and adore 99% of this!

IvankaTrump Nice, meanwhile if not federal nothing changes

It is not fair that federal employees get treated better than the general public.

IvankaTrump How does she qualify to be involved in this level of procedure...

Step in the right direction; cheered than sighed. This policy only applies to federal employees....🤷🏽‍♀️. Will keep waiting for it to apply to us regulars. 😒

IvankaTrump I’m a Trump supporter but as you can tail I’m not impressed with you guys given the damn federal government more benefits. It’s bullshit!! How about the people that are in the government. What about them IvankaTrump

IvankaTrump Wow I can’t believe cnn would say anything nice about any Trump ? I bet I miss read something..

This is great. Family leave for federal employees

She is stealing credit again. It was pushed by other lawmakers but Republicans wouldn’t do it but now they buy whatever bullshit Ivanka pushes, including a 100 million dollar fund of tax dollars she uses to fly herself around the globe for photo ops. Wasteful

Great Job Ivanka. Your a bright star. 🌟

What's the catch

humm... what's in it for her?

Great job Ivanka!!!!!😁😁😁

She will not be President.

1- why is she White house adviser again? 2 - while this seems good on the surface the Trumps have not been known for kindness and goodwill, so I'm fairly certain there is something beneath the surface here that's going to do a lot of people a lot of harm.

Great initiative. Federal and state govt employees work really hard are often underappreciated and deserve this. 👍

Trump keeps on winning

When cnnbrk report nice things about realDonaldTrump or IvankaTrump . . . Hallelujah - Praise Be ! . . . 👏🙌👋😂 CNN Trump ivankatrump

Do we really needs to be told that she’s a whitehouse adviser and Daughter of trump in the headline.

I guess Michelle and HRC couldn’t do it. Women should be loving Trump. But when hatred comes before your own well being that makes you an arse.

She isn’t a fucking federal employee!!!!!!

I'm old enough to remember when republicans got their undies in a twist when then First Lady Clinton worked on health care.

Not enough benefits for federal employees already? Their pay&benefits packages exceed those in the private sector. Not mentioning job security. Counties surrounding Washington D.C. have became one of the richest in the country bc of the influx of federal employees and lobbyists.

They’re trying to give credit to IvankaTrump .. pathetic. Washington Barbie did nothing

Kids are still being removed from their parents and locked in cages.

had no idea this was ITs ideas...

Nepotism is ILLEGAL. THAT is your story.

wow just add the loyalty oath into the headline next time

No brownie points for Ivanka. She’s the daughter of the dictator and a member of the transnational crime syndicate.

Was it family leave for Federal employeees Or for all So glad the government employees get it first

Insert triggered comments here

And it only cost the nation its soul.

She *should* have 'pushed' for it to be law for *every* citizen of the United States.

So, they get free healthcare AND paid time off?

So Trump’s employees get family leave but no one else.

Will she be the first to take a leave. Probably

The bill’s a good thing but Ivanka is still an awful person.

Senior Advisor and they complain about Bidens kid? How much does she get paid.

Clinton impeachment manager on Trump Senate trial: 'Key witnesses should...come forward and testify'Former Congressman Bill McCollum, R-Florida, was one the House members chosen for this task during former President Bill Clinton’s impeachment. Traitor should be impeached as soon as possible House Dems are 'claiming' they have enough info to Impeach on though. *Even though 99% of their testimonies were only hearsay, opinion and/or presumptions. They also leave out that Kurt Volker's testimony debunked Sondland's presumptive testimony claims. I wonder why during the house hearings the witnesses the Republicans wanted were never allowed by the majority under Schiff and Nadler now it shifts to the Senate and ? Is there case so weak ?
