Third Way

Pragmatism, also known as getting sh*t done.

“Our message is if you would like to beat Donald Trump’s Republicans, you better nominate people who can win,” @ThirdWayMattB told @sppeoples. ⤵️ apnews.com/article/democr…

We’re excited to share that immigration expert @FrankSharry is joining Third Way as a Senior Fellow! His experience in immigration policy, politics, and communications will be crucial to our efforts in forging a pragmatic immigration agenda.

Now that we are three months out from Alex Pretti’s killing, Democrats need to confront the political lesson from family separation: Voters can reject Trump’s cruelty and chaos—and still want to know what Democrats would do differently when they govern. 🧵

DHS still hasn't been funded and will run out of money soon. Republicans are too busy fighting each other to fix their mess. A majority of voters see through their chaos and know who's responsible. Democrats must keep reminding people who got us here.

58% of Americans think the US economy is getting worse—and they’re not wrong. We reviewed economic data from nonpartisan business sources to get an unbiased perspective. The key takeaways: 📈 Americans are burdened by rising personal debt ⛽️ The cost of living for everyday goods (like gas) is increasing 💰 Household financial cushions are shrinking to multi-year lows 🛒 Consumers are pulling back in anticipation of the economy getting worse thirdway.org/memo/economic-…

Trump promised to bring down costs on Day 1. He's done the opposite. Dems need to show voters their priorities are our priorities. Impeachment isn't it.

Democrats need a strong plan to counter Trump’s chaotic immigration enforcement agenda. We’ve got a four-part plan to restore stability to immigration enforcement: 1️⃣ Rebuild trust in immigration enforcement by overhauling ICE 2️⃣ Restore accountability through independent oversight of abuses 3️⃣ Adopt a smart enforcement agenda that prioritizes threats to public safety 4️⃣ Prove that the government is following that agenda through regular public reporting Read the full plan: thirdway.org/memo/how-democ…

73% of voters now rate the economy negatively thanks to Trump's disastrous decisions. Voters have lost trust in Trump, and Democrats must remind them every chance they can. foxnews.com/politics/fox-n…

Democrats must stay on the offense on immigration. Voters overwhelmingly blame Republicans for the DHS funding fight, so Democrats should keep it that way. Our latest memo shares how Democrats can best communicate on immigration enforcement control, not chaos: thirdway.org/memo/voters-wa…

Americans want immigration enforcement without cruelty or chaos. Dems need a real alternative to Trump’s approach, not just to oppose it. We have a four-step plan out today to make enforcement lawful and accountable. Details from @NOTUSreports: notus.org/congress/third…

A moderate Democratic think tank is proposing that an independent review board — set up by the next Dem administration — investigate CPB + ICE agents for actions taken during Trump years Part of a broader immigration enforcement roadmap from Third Way notus.org/congress/third…

.@NOTUSreports has the scoop on @ThirdWayTweet's new road map for how Dems should handle immigration enforcement policy. @Alex_Roarty talks to @SarahPierceEsq about an independent body to investigate ICE abuses with real accountability, and our plan for smart enforcement going forward. notus.org/congress/third…

Many growing businesses face a “Goldilocks problem” in financing: capital is either too small or too large and rigid to access. That’s the missing middle—and it’s holding firms back from hiring, taking on work, and expanding. Read more ⬇️ ceopolicy.org/products/the-m…

We polled people on Trump’s handling of immigration, and voters are angry. They want immigration enforcement that looks like local law enforcement: professional, lawful, and accountable—not the mess that is DHS and ICE. thirdway.org/memo/president…

"Open the tent. Talk to more people. Take more communication risks. But do it in a way that affirms the truth. The left is culturally savvy, not aloof; it is scornful of anti-Americanism, antisemitism and bigotry, not tolerant of them," @ethanmwolf argues in @PostOpinions today. His piece is worth the read: washingtonpost.com/opinions/2026/…

A reminder to those who may need it: Democratic primary voters don't look like your Twitter feed. See the data for yourself: thirdway.org/memo/the-truth…

We have new polling out this week on Americans' views on Trump’s handling of immigration, safety, and immigration enforcement. Here are the toplines. ⤵️
