Democratic socialism is gaining ground in big-city primaries, but it risks alienating the working-class voters Democrats need to retake Congress. @Will_PPI argues the party should reject socialist orthodoxy and recommit to liberal democracy and pragmatic reform. thehill.com/opinion/campai…

The U.S. is responsible for approximately 35.7 million tons of plastic waste each year, with 75.6% of that waste ending up in landfills. On the Powering America Podcast, Neel Brown highlights the economic and environmental gains of advanced recycling. thepoweringamericapodcast.com/episodes/neel-…

@ppi NASA should remember how it helped SpaceX become what it is today tinyurl.com/mwm2c887

America’s reign over global skylines is coming to an end. In this week’s Trade Fact, @EBGresser examines how the locations of the world’s 100 tallest buildings have changed over time and where to find the next towering skyscrapers. progressivepolicy.org/32-of-the-worl…

Join @ppi for a discussion about the shifting relationships between Ukraine, Europe, and the U.S. Where does America’s long-term interest lie? What should Congress do? Razom’s @melindaharing will be sharing her insights. 📅 July 14 | 8:45 to 10:00 am 📍Rayburn, Gold Room (2168)

.@USTR is attempting to restore Trump’s illegal 2025 tariffs, costing Americans $100 billion annually. At today’s Section 301 hearing, @EBGresser testified that the new forced labor tariff attempt misuses U.S. trade law and fails to offer any evidence about forced labor imports. progressivepolicy.org/ustr-section-3…

As the NATO summit commences, @POTUS has put our allies in a Catch-22 paradox. PPI's Danielle Steitz writes how Trump’s push for NATO members to increase defense spending and buy American weapons has caused Europe to start to de-risk from US suppliers entirely. radicallypragmatic.org/p/nato-is-faci…

As Social Security’s insolvency looms, @SenWarren and @berniemoreno say the fix to stabilize the program is simple: scrap the payroll tax cap. However, @budgetben argues eliminating the cap wouldn’t fix the program's insolvency and could make things worse. radicallypragmatic.org/p/the-most-obv…

As America turns 250, partisan distrust now shapes who young people are willing to live and work beside. Speaking at a forum hosted by PPI’s American Identity Project, @SHRM’s Johnny C. Taylor, Jr., cited polling on student division and called for renewing the bonds of a shared identity.

Keir Starmer’s resignation as U.K is a cautionary tale for center-left parties. PPI’s @claire_ainsley, a former Starmer adviser, argues Labour lost power by drifting from the economic concerns that won it. The lesson: deliver tangible results or lose voters’ trust. radicallypragmatic.org/p/the-real-les…

Michigan’s 100% clean energy mandate risks outpacing grid capacity and threatening the state’s manufacturing base. In a new report, PPI’s Neel Brown and @JKempEnergy urge a shift to a pragmatic, outcomes-based approach based on emissions per capita, not rigid mandates. progressivepolicy.org/michigan-clima…

Very strong statement today from @NewDemCoalition @DonBeyerVA on USMCA, America's strategic relationships with our two neighbors, & the mistake the admin. makes by not full-on renewing the agreement today. newdemocratcoalition.house.gov/media-center/p…

@ppi has launched a new Substack - Radically Pragmatic- and here’s my reflections on what went wrong for Keir Starmer’s government and lessons for the global center-left. Center-left parties have to remain as focussed in power on the everyday concerns of voters as in opposition:

Debates over America’s role in the global economy are as old as the republic itself. In this week’s Trade Fact, @EBGresser traces trade’s share of GDP from 1790 to today and revisits Hamilton, Jefferson, and Paine on tariffs and commerce. progressivepolicy.org/global-economy…
