Sometimes, I wonder if I'd fit better in society if I had just chosen to have kids. I didn't always know I didn't want kidsI didn't always know that I didn't want kids. Then, a month before a wedding that never happened, during a final argument with my ex, he blurted out, "You don't even like kids!" Whenever I tell people my partner and I don't want kids, I often hear, "You might change your mind." With my mom friends, I'm grateful for the mutual support and happiness we share, knowing we're each living the life we've chosen.

WASHINGTON — A triumphant President-elect Donald Trump huddled with House Republicans before their leadership elections Wednesday and threw his support behind Speaker Mike Johnson, a key ally, as the GOP prepares for unified control of government next year. Trump, the 45th and future 47th president, got multiple standing ovations from rank-and-file Republicans at the meeting. After the event with Republicans, Trump headed to the White House for a meeting with President Joe Biden. House Appropriations Committee Chairman Tom Cole, R-Okla., said Trump's meeting with Republicans was less about specific policy proposals and more of a "rah-rah address." Even before Trump's endorsement, Republicans were expected to nominate Johnson to continue as speaker in the 119th Congress.
