Everyday life for the middle class is getting more expensive. To earn the trust of the American people, policy makers need to turn their attention to our 5 tickets🎟️to the middle class:
1. Retirement
2. Child Care
3. College
4. Housing
5. Health Care

Appreciate @SenMarkKelly’s serious leadership and proactive thinking on AI’s impact on the workforce. Hardworking Americans should be the first to benefit as AI develops. These worker-centered proposals are exactly the kind of forward-looking debate Congress needs.
As AI changes our economy, workers and their families should come first, not the bottom lines of tech CEOs. My Make AI Work for Americans Act creates the AI Horizon Fund to support workers and help them succeed, paid for by Big Tech and the companies benefiting most from AI.

Third Way proposed something similar in our recent paper, "A New Economic Bargain: 20 Ideas to Change the Lives of Working America."

NEW: @GovernorVA is out with an accountability framework for data centers.
Spanberger is forcing developers to increase transparency, strengthen environmental protections, lower energy costs, bolster grid reliability, and deliver a better deal for Virginia workers.

Good to see @repkmr putting a spotlight on a critical question: how do we make sure that data centers are paying their fair share? This bill adds to an important debate about how communities hosting data centers can actually share the benefits

AI industry leaders are calling for frontier AI development to slow down and for more safety oversight, as current trajectories pose serious risks. Congress needs to start acting on this.
TW’s Director of Technology Policy, Ruth Whittaker, and Deputy Director for Electricity, Francesca Hsie, have our view on the AI regulation situation at hand:
1️⃣ Lawmakers must address the larger questions about AI safety and development. Voters are demanding guardrails.
2️⃣ The bipartisan Ratepayer Protection Act is an important step in regulating AI, but not the only step.
3️⃣ Congress needs to require greater transparency around data center energy and water demands, and their effects on host communities.
4️⃣ And we need a national safety framework.

The Child Tax Credit is one of the most important federal supports for America’s working families. The bipartisan Stronger Start for Working Families Act will help even more families by parents start benefiting at the first dollar they earn. pappas.house.gov/media/press…

People who work hard are falling further behind because of the policies of Donald Trump and your neighborhood Republican Party. Voters all over the county want to know what we will do about it, so Democrats need solutions that people can feel right away. That’s what I like about @ThirdWayTweet’s New Economic Bargain - it’s ideas to lower costs on health care, energy bills, childcare, and car loans and to help workers build wealth and get ahead. Democrats would be smart to lean in here because these are ideas that would resonate on the worksite, in the barber shop, and with moms worried about making ends meet.

I like #16 on the list. An Apprenticeships U model focused on skilled trades in all 50 states is a great idea. It might be able to be executed quicker by simply providing technical schools in all 50 states far more resources than they currently have.
These ideas are ruthlessly pragmatic and would deliver results quickly that Americans can actually feel in their lives. All could get done with the right president and a Congress that gets the message that we need to prioritize results for working people.
But don’t mistake the ambition: the impact would be transformative, making working Americans more secure, more prosperous, and more hopeful about the future.
Read all 20 ideas and let us know your thoughts: thirdway.org/memo/a-new-econ…

There's a complicated picture facing bond markets: economic growth and persistent inflation are putting upward pressure on rates, while large deficits mean the Treasury is asking investors to absorb a growing supply of government debt.

And while day-to-day bond moves are often about inflation, the Fed, and global events, fiscal credibility still shapes the foundation underneath them.
