Preparing the next generation for a changing economy is not simply an education priority, it’s a national imperative. In @educationweek, our President and CEO @MSpellingsBPC and @arneduncan make the bipartisan case that Washington and the states can get there by working together. ow.ly/K2i750ZXjrv
🌎 It’s World Mental Health Day. BPC Action joins stakeholders around the globe to raise awareness and mobilize efforts to combat this crisis.
Youth in America, especially, are at risk. BPC’s Youth Mental Health and Substance Use Task Force has long advocated for bipartisan solutions to support them.
💻 In an era where more kids are turning to AI tools to address mental health concerns, it’s more important than ever that policymakers work together to keep kids safe online and advance policies that help improve their mental health. ow.ly/x03350ZWB8f
📆 Every October 10, we observe World Homeless Day to raise awareness for the hundreds of thousands of Americans who experience this crisis every day.
🏘️ Local communities are working to improve housing stability, and federal policymakers can learn from their efforts to end homelessness. Read more in the report: ow.ly/arxG50ZWB8e
"We've got a big storm coming with all this aging regulation, and not enough young people to take care of them, to pay for their care, and not enough workers to take care of them."
Thank you, @RepTomSuozzi, for sharing your insights on bipartisan solutions to ensure Americans age with dignity at BPC's Aging of America Webinar.

Housing costs, a broken child care system, health and electric bills: all top of mind for Americans and all solvable.
Thank you @RepJoshHarder (D-CA), @RepMaloyUtah (R-UT), and the Build America Caucus for building a bipartisan coalition to fix them. We stand ready to help you move from agenda to legislation.
We’re encouraged to see @HouseBlueDogs @RepGolden propose the Congressional Budget Reform Act of 2026 to restore regular order to the budget process and strengthen fiscal guardrails.
👏 We applaud the Blue Dogs for their efforts and hope that other members of Congress on both sides of the aisle follow suit in proposing pragmatic solutions to the nation’s fiscal problems🧵

💵 With the debt cresting $40 trillion and bond yields raising costs for families, now is the time for leaders in Congress to advance fiscally responsible reforms to get the nation’s finances back on track.

🎙️ On October 9, join us for A Detailed Walkthrough of the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act—a more than 400-page package introduced September 30 by @SenCapito (R-WV), @SenatorHeinrich (D-NM), @SenMikeLee (R-UT), and @SenWhitehouse (D-RI) to increase the efficiency of our permitting system.
BPC's @XanFishman will unpack the bill's major provisions, followed by a panel discussion and audience Q&A with permitting experts from across the political spectrum. Panelists will assess what the package would mean in practice for project developers, communities, and the environment—and what it will take to get it across the finish line.
Looking forward to a great discussion and hope to see you there! 👇

We thank @MikeCrapo and @RonWyden for their bipartisan leadership on the Taxpayer Assistance and Service Act, which just unanimously passed the Senate.
↪️ The TAS Act will meaningfully enhance customer service at the IRS and improve the taxpayer experience for tens of millions of Americans. We urge the House to take up and pass this bill.
💡 The TAS Act included the Child Care Tax Benefit Outreach and Assistance Act, led by @SenDanSullivan and @SenatorHassan.
This provision will help businesses better utilize federal employer #ChildCare tax benefits—supporting both businesses and working families alike. We urge the House to act next.

Older Americans work hard for their retirement benefits, and they deserve a clear, straightforward process to claim the benefits they’ve earned.
Our Claiming Age Clarity Act will make it easier for older Americans to understand their options, and I’m glad to see it on its way to becoming law.
We thank @SenBillCassidy, @SenTimKaine, @ChrisCoons, @SenatorCollins, @RepSmucker, and @RepDonBeyer for their bipartisan leadership on The Claiming Age Clarity Act, which just passed the Senate this week and is on its way to the President’s desk!
📋 The Claiming Age Clarity Act will help retirees make more informed decisions on when to claim their #SocialSecurity, potentially increasing lifetime benefits. We urge the swift enactment of this bill into law.
📋 Permitting reform has sat on the congressional to-do list for years.
@EnergyGOP, @EnergyDems, @EPWGOP, and @EPWCmte, let’s pass the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act.
Every month of delay means higher energy bills and projects that never get built. Now is the time for Congress to move it forward.

Federal education and workforce programs are spread across over a dozen agencies with little coordination. The National Talent Strategy Act aims to fix this.
We look forward to working with @SenLBR and @SenTedBuddNC to advance this initiative.

"Just as we have a national security strategy and an economic strategy, we must develop a talent strategy for the nation.” –@MSpellingsBPC, President and CEO of the Bipartisan Policy Center
Today, @SenLBR (D-DE) and @SenTedBuddNC (R-NC) introduced the National Talent Strategy Act, which would build the first comprehensive Federal Strategic Talent Plan in the history of our nation. After BPC’s Commission on the American Workforce identified the need for a national talent strategy, we are proud to endorse the bill.

💪"Strong families = strong economy.”
Supporting working families must remain a federal priority, and we are thankful that @RepBlakeMoore continues to work across the aisle to find solutions that meet Americans’ needs.
“Not a Democrat or Republican issue, these are real issues.”
👏 Thank you, @RepDebDingell, for standing up for working families and working across the aisle to find solutions to their greatest concerns—especially the costs of raising children.
“Congress should focus on pro-family policies, such as paid family leave.”
@RepBice continues to stand up for American families and help them get the support they need.
We're grateful for her ongoing bipartisan leadership of the House Bipartisan #PaidFamilyLeave Working Group and for her meaningful collaboration on bills like the More Paid Leave for More Americans Act.
📆 Today, we’re joining @TheHillEvents and @APVenturesorg for a bipartisan summit on the Future of Supporting American Families. Great to see leaders across the aisle—including @RepBice, @RepHoulahan, @RepBlakeMoore, @RepDebDingell, and @JohnBoozman—discuss policies that will help families balance work and caregiving duties. #TheHillEconomy
📋 New polling shows that families across the nation want #paidleave, family tax credits, and federal child savings accounts, and there are leaders ready to find avenues to deliver.
Follow along here: ow.ly/vxza50ZQYvq
"When both sides are calling (for paid family leave), it is time to act.”
@RepHoulahan is a true #PaidFamilyLeave champion. The More Paid Leave for More Americans Act will help deliver support that working families need to care for their loved ones.
👏 We applaud your ongoing bipartisan leadership of the House Bipartisan Paid Family Leave Working Group, which is making this idea a reality.
What happens when we support working families?
➡️ @JohnBoozman says we can create "a better, happier, and more productive workforce."
1 in 5 families say they wouldn't have access to paid leave from their employer if they needed it.
The More Paid Leave for More Americans Act will help bridge this access gap, and we are grateful for @JohnBoozman’s bipartisan leadership on it.
