A lot of people are blaming AI for grads’ poor outcomes, but I find the evidence for this claim is surprisingly thin. Excited to release a new analysis w/ @employamerica on the labor market performance of recent college grads. 🧵

The Democratic "tax trap" is very noticeable when it comes to paid leave proposals. As @JoshuaTMcCabe has noted, the most recent version of the FAMILY Act no longer includes a payroll tax to finance the bill. Definitely a discouraging trend.

With everyone talking about middle-class tax cuts this past week, I take a short dive into a history of how we got there. I focus on two events from 2016 and 2008 that locked Democrats into this path, with contemporary pieces by @brycecovert and @mattyglesias. Link in next.

There's a path forward for transgender rights. Mara Keisling, a senior fellow at Searchlight, has been a leading advocate for trans rights and acceptance for 30 years. She’s seen public opinion shift significantly over that time. Trans Americans today are able to live freer, fuller lives than they would have all those years ago. But the resurgence of anti-trans sentiment in civil society and government should concern all of us. Over the past year, Searchlight has surveyed the American public on the rights and acceptance of trans people. More than 34,000 across six rounds of polling. The results provide Mara and advocates like her with a path forward — starting with a renewed focus on equal treatment and civil rights. Banning discrimination and harassment of trans people in the workplace or housing. Keeping politicians out of deeply personal health care decisions. Emphasizing parents and their role in deciding what’s best for their kids. Leaders should push for equal treatment and civil rights. And they should avoid aimless messaging bills or confusing language that only alienates the public and stokes anti-trans sentiment.

I don’t see any tension here. When properly understood, affordability is about reducing barriers that drive up the price of consumer goods and services. The proposed paid family leave program isn’t an affordability issue and neither is the payroll tax that would fund it.

Former Senate Democratic aide @treeaston said there’s a viable compromise on voter ID that his party should be open to. “I think Democrats should absolutely embrace a form of voter identification. I get why it’s been such a boogeyman, and the way it’s implemented matters." As one possibility, he floated “a national ID card” tied to Social Security or another federal program, which he said could serve as “a one-stop shop for all your business with the government.” “States would obviously handle individual voter registration, but having a national ID card is not unheard of.” nbcnews.com/politics/congr…

“If you’re going to have a trillion dollars — or maybe a little more — from new taxes on the wealthy, you want to make sure that those funds are addressing America’s biggest problems," @RadWill_ told @EricLevitz. “Shrinking the tax base does not seem like it should be a top priority.” vox.com/politics/48255…

I, personally, am very tired of playing on Reagan's turf when it comes to fiscal policy in this country. I think we'd go a long way toward righting the ship if Democrats could just speak clearly about what people's tax dollars are going toward. But we do silly gimmicks instead!
Adam Jentleson@AJentleson

No one really believes it’s right on the merits for Dems to go all in on tax cuts, but some are arguing that it’s politically smart. Yet at the exact same time, Republicans are staring down massive midterm losses after staking their appeal on tax cuts.

Democrats need to think in terms of fiscal priorities — if you do a huge across the board tax cut it then becomes very difficult to restore Trump's Medicaid cuts and borderline impossible to invest in any new programs. slowboring.com/p/upscale-libe…

The Booker-Van Hollen fiscal vision is totally incoherent. They officially believe that Democrats should slash middle-class taxes -- while increasing social welfare spending by more than $30 trillion -- all without adding to the deficit. vox.com/politics/48255…

Great @EricLevitz piece today on the recent middle class tax cut proposals we’ve seen over the last week. vox.com/politics/48255…
