James Goodwin of @CPRBlog explains that in order to build back public trust in administrative agencies, progressives will need to focus on dismantling critics that stem from Project 2025 that agencies are inherently authoritarian. buff.ly/3OAB5Sy

"With the advent of our new Project 2025 era, we are all administrativists now," writes James Goodwin of the Center for Progressive Reform. Goodwin urges those opposed Project 2025 to develop a new progressive vision for the administrative state. buff.ly/3OAB5Sy

"It is really hard to disentangle Project 2025 from Trump... Something like 80 percent of the lead authors for the various chapters... are former Trump administration officials from his first term." — James Goodwin via @thenation thenation.com/article/politi…

NEW from CSS: Biden has left a proud legacy of rulemaking reforms to protect the public that future administrations should build upon. These reforms make the regulatory process better at protecting the public, more grounded in evidence, more equitable, and more democratic. 🧵

What if the only requirement to become a government employee was loyalty to the president? #Project2025 would make it easy to fire experts within the U.S.' administrative state, and replace them with just about anyone. @CPRBlog's @j_a_goodwin explains: bit.ly/3ALDp5m

Is corporate America really on board with Project 2025? The far Right's playbook includes tax cuts and deregulation, along with authoritarian aspects and a crackdown on immigration, as @CPRBlog's Policy Director @j_a_goodwin points out: bit.ly/3XgEauD

We know that when workers come together, they can make significant changes to their workplace and achieve great things. That's exactly why the far Right is coming after unions and worker power with Project 2025: bit.ly/3ALDp5m. Ft. @maximillian_alv & @j_a_goodwin.

As @sharblock wrote in her @MSNBC op-ed, no tax on tips "could end up harming workers — and creating a new benefit for the corporations who employ them...It could create an incentive for employers to move more workers from a full hourly wage to the lower tipped minimum wage."
While 'no tax on tips' for tipped workers has gained a lot of attention, labor advocates say it's a distraction from the core issues that permit some workers to be paid a sub-minimum wage, which haven't changed at the federal level since 1991 theguardian.com/us-news/arti…
