Time to refuel on Wally's and Obed & Isaac's, Springfield here I come to advocate for the WISER Act this session! Our workforce is the backbone of our economy, but we need better data on how companies are investing in their people. This first-in-the-nation bill brings better disclosure to the table.

Parts of the American economy can sound like a shell game these days. Cass does a great job naming this problem and proposing some steps to address it.

An absolutely harrowing segment documenting some of the most evil things this country has ever done. Words cannot express how shameful it is to deny any kind of due process and condemn random men to this hellhole based on their nationality and maybe some tattoos This link works - please watch:

We have lost freedoms this year. And we will continue to lose more unless we step up our efforts to resist tyranny. @adamserwer.bsky.social does a great job laying out the stakes of what we have already lost and what may be to come www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

“Management primacy” where corporates consolidate power at the expense of shareholders, stakeholders & long-term value creation is on the rise. This shift threatens system guardrails incl. shareholder rights to the detriment of the long-term market stability, transparency & accountability.

Murder is bad. We should not commit war crimes.

Heinous and indefensible. Our government is making decisions to explicitly benefit white supremacists and Nazis. If this doesn't convince people morally corrupt this Administration is, nothing will.

The reporting coming out of Chicago has been so awful. The National Guard is not needed, and ICE is not welcome, in our amazing city.

The new $100k/year H1B fee is pure economic self-harm—workers making **5 times the median US income**, who contribute massively to the US, would still basically be unable to afford this fee Oh, but never fear, the White House reserves the right to dish out exemptions as favors!

New, from me: America is no longer a functioning democracy. It is a competitive authoritarian system, hurtling rapidly toward authoritarianism. This was a hard piece to write but we can't move forward if we don’t acknowledge where we are. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-author...

Protecting the #FreedomToInvest means protecting investors' right to consider all material financial risks - including climate. Former Rep. Carlos Curbelo’s latest in the Miami Herald explains why restricting responsible practices hurts both returns and taxpayers. www.miamiherald.com/opinion/op-e...

Among many other problematic tax policy decisions in the House GOP reconciliation proposal, apparently we don't have enough podcasters and should make their equipment deductible expenses now

The Trump regime wants to shred the Constitution

This is not how any government official should be communicating, this is full-on political screed. These kind of attacks, paired with the attempt to revoke Harvard's c3 status, is so immensely dangerous to civil society.

My grandparents are incredibly talented artists, and got to learn a cool new medium for my grandfather's 89th birthday! Happy birthday Papa!

Republicans are once again seeking to pay for tax cuts for the wealthy by taxing university endowments. I supported research back in 2017 on why this is a bad idea that would only harm students, and it continues to be a bad idea today www.cbpp.org/blog/taxing-... @centeronbudget.bsky.social

Pritzker invokes his own Jewish background in responding to Trump: "Stop tearing down the Constitution in the name of my ancestors. Do not claim that your authoritarian power grabs are about anti-semitism. When you destroy social justice, you are disparaging the very foundation of Judaism."

Kumar Abrego Garcia deserves due process and Gorka is trying to intimidate us all from exercising our First Amendment rights

Beyond unfair to taxpayers who have a filing obligation and are just trying to do the right thing. This will erode trust and reduce revenues

CDFIs fuel small businesses, homeownership & local economies. A recent Executive Order threatens the Treasury’s CDFI Fund, putting these investments at risk. We urge policymakers to protect this vital agency. Read our statement below. #econdev #CDFI @usimpinvalliance.bsky.social

Every time this point is made, a bunch of academics and activists show up in the replies and basically prove the point. He's not talking to you! If you're even thinking about this subject, you're not the intended audience and that's okay.

(1/10) These investors are raising their public policy game to enhance their social impact by @davidbank.bsky.social (ft. Liesel Pritzker Simmons, Jim Sorenson + more) - bit.ly/4iSGClo

No one, outside of the highest ivory towers of academia, talks like this. Democrats have a lot of work to do to learn how to authentically reach voters if this is the standard

To Elon and Trump's great dismay, Dems are making sure we keep funding research to help kids with cancer!

We should be funding pediatric cancer research.

I am so excited to share this report, which outlines the important bipartisan policy recommendations we are working on here at the Alliance. While the field does face headwinds, that makes policy advocacy even more important in this time!

With tax policy among the top priorities in Congress Opportunity Zones will be on the agenda. Impact investors need to be ready to engage with what could be major changes to a program that has already incentivized at least $40 billion in private investment. news.bloombergtax.com/daily-tax-re...

“In a recent customer survey, Zillow found that more than 80% of potential home buyers said they consider climate risk in their decisions. More than half of new listings on Zillow are at risk of extreme heat, Olsen said. Meanwhile, 17% face major wildfire risk and 13% major flooding risk.” #impinv

This is all true, and it's also important to remember our shared humanity. There are consequences for actions, sure, but we shouldn't celebrate suffering. Vindictiveness is easy, but compassion and problem solving wins the day
