It’s 1 a.m. and I’m squinting in the bathroom light, glancing between the safety information on a bottle of antacids and the search engine I just opened on my phone. Was it magnesium containing supplements or calcium carbonate that should be avoided in pregnancy? I’m an internal medicine physician in the second trimester of my second pregnancy, though at this hour my experience is irrelevant. I cannot recall the laundry list of forbidden items that may potentially harm my growing baby.

JOE BIDEN HAS been president for only four months, but he’s already been hailed as the country’s most pro-labor leader since Franklin Delano Roosevelt showed up at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. He wants to make it easier for workers to unionize and would raise the national minimum wage to $15. He opposed Proposition 22, the California ballot measure that allowed gig platforms like Uber, Lyft, and DoorDash to continue treating their workers as independent contractors. In March, he backed the (doomed) union drive in a Bessemer, Alabama, Amazon warehouse. “Unions put power in the hands of workers,” he said then. “They level the playing field.”
