Third Way

Small businesses are the backbone of the American economy, yet current SBA policies are failing them. Cracking down on fraud is important—but not when it leaves legitimate businesses without the support they need. Another example of this Administration failing Americans.

There needs to be fundamental reform of ICE. The public is crying out for that.

The child tax credit is one of the government’s largest programs that supports working and middle-class families. It's often misunderstood. We released a memo (out today!) that highlights 6️⃣ main facts about the CTC and how to strengthen it. 1️⃣ Its flexibility leads to a broad impact 2️⃣ Reducing barriers to understanding it is 🔑 3️⃣ Simplifying it will make it thrive 4️⃣ More families should be included 5️⃣ It must stay tied to inflation 6️⃣ Unrealistic work requirements don't work thirdway.org/memo/6-facts-t…

On today's @playbookdc podcast, @adamwren and @DashaBurns break down our efforts to get a combative centrist in the White House in 2028. Take a listen. ⤵️

Our thoughts on the WH national AI policy framework that just came out this morning:

"Going on his show isn’t a sign of bravery, of willingness to talk to the other side, or to show up in challenging places. All these things do is support a bigot," Jon Cowan and Lily Cohen wrote about Hasan Piker. Read their @WSJopinion piece out today: wsj.com/opinion/free-e…

If Ted Cruz can call out Tucker Carlson's antisemitism, Democrats have no excuse for putting political tribalism before Jewish safety. Hasan Piker’s depravity must have no place in our party. wsj.com/opinion/free-e…

So far, only Ritchie Torres has called out Piker’s bigotry directly. Other Democrats must follow suit. Left-wing antisemites are savvier than the Nazi-endorsers on the right, but the violence their language foments for Jewish Americans is just as dangerous.

“Democrats must understand that accepting antisemitic figures like [Hasan] Piker into the mainstream puts Jewish Americans’ lives in danger,” Third Way's Jon Cowan and Lily Cohen write in @WSJopinion. “We’re all for a big tent. But the Democratic Party needs to draw a line in the sand. Hasan Piker and his fellow Jew-haters belong on the other side.” wsj.com/opinion/free-e…

“We’re all for a big tent. But the Democratic Party needs to draw a line in the sand,” Third Way’s Jon Cowan and Lily Cohen write in @WSJopinion. “Hasan Piker and his fellow Jew-haters belong on the other side.” wsj.com/opinion/free-e…

“[Hasan] Piker is anti-American, antiwomen, anti-Western and antisemitic.” @ThirdWayTweet’s Jon Cowan and Lily Cohen write in @WSJopinion. “No Democrat should engage with him. All should seek to push him to the fringe, where he belongs.” wsj.com/opinion/free-e…

“The most pragmatic presidential candidate of the bunch in a primary tends to win the presidential nomination,” said @DavidMDrucker on @MSNOWNews. Democratic primary voters want WINNERS, which always come from the middle. See more on our primary voter data. ⤵️

People should read the new @ThirdWayTweet poll in full, gets at several nuanced things like this

The nominee for the largest law enforcement agency, which has been rumored to plan to intimidate voters, cannot ensure our elections will be fair and free of intimidation.

Last night we saw again that the far left has no path to a majority—even in a solidly blue state like Illinois. Since 2018, candidates backed by far-left groups have lost 105 races. That's no way to build power.axios.com/2026/03/18/the…

At a moment of deep dysfunction at DHS, the Mullin nomination should rise or fall on a few straightforward questions about qualifications, judgment, and independence. Here are 5 things to watch for 🧵

A great read from @liamkerr that highlights our recent polling on Democratic primary voters and dives into what that demographic looks like. Check it out: welcomestack.org/p/the-four-typ…

The price of gas (and everything else) is going up. It isn't because Americans are unlucky 🍀, it's because of Trump's chaotic handling of the war with Iran and the economy. Americans are going to suffer.
