The US ranks 40th out of 41 comparably wealthy nations on accessible, affordable, quality childcare. But with the federal government stalled, some states are showing what's possible.
Our new brief looks at what a national system should learn from them: rooseveltinstitute.org/publi…
Economic Security Project retweeted
We’re not going to solve the childcare crisis by asking families to pay more or providers to stretch thin budgets even further.
We need a public option that expands the supply of care and makes the system work better for families and workers.
Our partners at @EconomicSecProj make the case ⬇️: economicsecurityproject.org/…

.@mtkonczal & @EconomicSecProj's new Affordability Dashboard finds that since 2019,
💵 Hoosiers' real median household incomes are *down* 5.1%, but
🏠 Home prices are *up* 31.4%
⏱️ The monthly hours it takes to rent a home are *up* 12.7%

Very excited to share something we built at @EconomicSecProj: the Affordability Dashboard.
There's a bunch of scattered data, national and state, I'm always pulling, stuff useful for politicos, reporters, and activists on affordability, so we vibe-coded it all into one place. /1

The government forced Anthropic's most capable models offline for 18 days. OpenAI delayed GPT-5.6 when asked. Intel gave Washington a 10% stake. My latest in @theprospect on how the industry that swore it didn't need the state learned to work with it. prospect.org/2026/07/14/sili…

💊🇺🇸 @Groundwork and @VanderbiltLaw’s Policy Accelerator are proposing “AmericaRx” — a network of publicly owned pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities to break monopoly pricing and deliver affordable, life-saving medicine to patients, not shareholders. groundworkcollaborative.org/…

Great overview by Ned Resnikoff on what we all were trying to accomplish with our recent @EconomicSecProj housing report we wrote with @chao_becky.
Also a nice connection on how it ideally lands in the current political-policy landscape. Link below.

For those wanting to understand how it sits in the policy space, I explain here how this compares/contrasts against the current Abundance movement.
There's also a clip of Mamdani recently giving remarkably on-point remarks on prioritizing markets+incomes.

Very excited to have this live! I think it brings together important priorities in housing that can serve as a basis after this moment.
Check it out, I also have a quick blog recap in the next link. /1
1/ Today, ESP released Building Affordability, our new policy agenda on housing, which tackles the two causes of unaffordability: broken markets and broken incomes.
Written by @chao_becky, @Mtkonczal, and @resnikoff, it shows how policy can expand supply while also directly protecting tenants.

Today we’re launching The #GoodLife Agenda.
We’ve spent decades told that if the economy grows, people’s lives will get better.🧵

1/ Policy is downstream of culture. That's something I've believed for a long time — and sitting down with comedian, director, and Emmy and Peabody winner @wkamaubell at Guaranteed Income Now in Austin, TX last week, he gave me a sharper way to say it:

1/ Last week, under the shadow of the Michigan state capitol, I gave a keynote address to the hundreds of people gathered to ask a question 250 years in the making: Are we fulfilling the promise of democracy in America?

Exciting to see Alex Bores put pen to paper on an AI Dividend. We spent a lot of time studying the pros and cons of the Alaska Dividend early at @EconomicSecProj and what I think is most promising is the advancement of a politics of shared ownership and shared benefit.
Today, I’m proud to announce the AI Dividend, my plan to prepare for the AI economy with direct payments to Americans funded by tax reform that simultaneously incentivizes hiring humans instead of AI.

Mónica V. Lazo, California campaigns director for @EconomicSecProj reminds us why tax credits matter now more than ever.
