Winning elections and governing well require very different skills.
Writing in @thehill, @Will_PPI argues President Trump has mastered the first but not the second.
His tariffs, inflation record, and Iran war are hurting working Americans, and voters have noticed. thehill.com/opinion/white-ho…
Bipartisan permitting reform is a rare chance to build the power plants and transmission lines America needs.
PPI’s Neel Brown warns that rejecting this deal for a better one later could repeat Democrats’ 1974 mistake on health care policy and stall reform for decades. radicallypragmatic.org/p/wil…
Tariffs and the war with Iran have pushed the farm economy into crisis.
PPI’s @EBGresser shows how higher costs, lost exports, and soaring diesel prices are squeezing farmers.
He urges repealing tariffs, mending ties with Canada and Mexico, and passing a farm bill. ms.now/opinion/rural-voters-…

Britain is weighing a problem the U.S. must address: The gap between school and work. Apprenticeship degrees are one solution.

Thanks for having me on this panel on to discuss the work of my @ceidotorg colleagues & I on prediction markets’ benefits. I so enjoyed the discussion on this innovation & the right regulatory policy to govern it!
Prediction markets matter well beyond sports.
This morning, PPI’s @MichaelMandel, @ceidotorg’s @jberlau, and Dartmouth’s Eric Zitzewitz explored how non-sports prediction markets can help small businesses hedge risk, workers plan careers, and policymakers see what’s ahead.
The administration’s tariffs are falling short of their own stated goals.
In this week’s edition of Trade Fact, PPI’s @EBGresser finds the goods trade deficit hit $136.6 billion in August, 50% above the Biden-era average. progressivepolicy.org/trump-…

America’s schools test students on math and reading but rarely on whether they understand liberal democracy.
In @monthly, PPI’s @RickKahlenberg and Lief Lin offer a plan to fix that. washingtonmonthly.com/2026/1…

@BudgetBen of @PPI on #FacingTheFuture: fixing our fiscal math would take 4% real GDP growth every year, forever.
Even an AI boom as big as the 90s internet boom "would not be enough" to get us there.

Schools are failing to teach students the advantages of liberal democracy—and the dangers of what could replace it. @RickKahlenberg

Prediction markets are about far more than sports.
On October 14, PPI’s @MichaelMandel, CEI’s @jberlau, and Dartmouth’s Eric Zitzewitz will discuss their real-world economic and policy uses and the smart guardrails they need.

Shutdowns and runaway debt show Congress’s budget process is broken.
@BudgetBen says the Blue Dogs’ Congressional Budget Reform Act is “a good first step to modernize the budget process and push Congress to manage federal finances more responsibly.” bluedogs-gluesenkampperez.ho…
Congress hasn’t passed a budget on time since 1996. Today, shutdowns and last-minute packages are routine, and the debt is at $40T.
That's why we're introducing the Congressional Budget Reform Act to restore fiscal responsibility and add guardrails to our broken budget process.

@BudgetBen of @PPI: "Everything you can do to bring [inflation] back down is gonna hurt."
