The couple couldn't afford the cheapest $2,400 cost of full-time, professional childcare each month. AdvertisementThis as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Stephanie Ross, 39, a mom of three from Southern California. But we're in the privileged position of having my mom provide childcare. Ross, pictured soon after the birth of her triplets, doesn't know how she'd cope without her mom's childcare help. It took Mom about five months to sell her house and settle her affairs before leaving.

With that run, Wilson became the youngest male U.S. track Olympian, eclipsing middle-distance runner Jim Ryun, who was 17 at the 1964 Olympics. Wilson later became the youngest male Olympic track and field gold medalist ever after the U.S. 4x400-meter relay team — made up of Chris Bailey, Vernon Norwood, Bryce Deadmon, and Rai Benjamin — won gold over Botswana on Saturday. “I was kind of in the moment because I’m watching a 16-year-old running the Olympics — Olympics history,” Norwood said. Quincy Wilson competes in the men's 400-meter final at the U.S. Track and Field Trials on June 24. The showing led USA Track & Field to include him in the pool of runners eligible to run on a U.S. relay in Paris.

SAINT-DENIS, France — No issues with this men’s relay team. One night earlier, the 4×100 relay team — featuring some of the fastest men in the world — squandered their chance at gold. Rai Benjamin holds off Letsile Tebogo to anchor Team USA to gold in the 4x400m relay! Their names aren’t on the marquee of USA Track and Field. And Benjamin — as he did in Tokyo, and in the 2023 World Championships, and in the 2019 World Championships — brought home the gold for the third consecutive Games.

Democrat Jennifer McClellan has made history as the first Black woman elected to represent Virginia in Congress, NBC News projected Tuesday. McClellan, a state senator, defeated Republican Leon Benjamin in Tuesday's special election in the 4th Congressional District. McClellan was heavily favored to win in the reliably blue district, which covers Richmond and reaches counties bordering North Carolina. She said her commitment to voting rights stems in part from the challenges family members faced in their efforts to vote. In 2021, as Republican-led states passed legislation to restrict voting rights, McClellan co-sponsored Virginia's voting rights law to protect elements of the Voting Rights Act the Supreme Court struck down in 2013.
