Regulating AI for the sake of regulation could make it harder for low-income Americans to upskill and compete in the digital economy.

Republicans supporting the Faster Labor Contracts Act are making a catastrophic policy and political mistake. FLCA cuts workers out and empowers bureaucrats to speed up union dues.

Families don't live siloed lives, but the government responds to their instability through siloed systems.

Low-income and immigrant families without the means to pay for private school have long seen selective enrollment public schools as a first step to the middle class.

FREOPP's @RenuMukherjee1 explains what's at stake if politicians undermine them.

Josh Bandoch has spent his career turning evidence into impact, from occupational licensing to housing affordability to career-first education.

We're proud to welcome him as our Senior Vice President of Policy Research 🙌

Children fall through the cracks when no single agency has the full picture.

@aly_brodsky writes: The child welfare system is just one of many that shapes family stability, and right now, they don't talk to each other.

Patients who fight a prior authorization denial win roughly 4 out of 5 times.

Worn down by the system, most never fight at all.

FREOPP's Grant Rigney shows how Congress can fix what insurers won't.

In many U.S. cities, low-income families are pushed into limited pockets of multifamily housing because 70-80% of land is restricted to single-family homes.

Regardless of their family's income, gifted students in failing school districts should have opportunities to receive a rigorous education.

Selective enrollment public schools provide exactly that. FREOPP's @RenuMukherjee1 on why they're worth defending.

With AI, entering the digital economy is now more accessible than ever for low-income workers. States looking to add AI compliance walls only slow down that economic mobility for those who need it. FREOPP's @Jon_Hartley_ ⤵️

Today’s defenders of liberalism are the true revolutionaries, and we must do our part to advance the ideals of the American founding. https://t.co/H5a47JXTjq

We all want our children to have the best education possible. One of the best tools to realize that dream is through 529 accounts.

On #529Day, here's how policymakers can help working-class families save for education expenses through 529 accounts.

Happy #529Day! 🎓

529 accounts started as college savings plans. Now they cover K-12 tuition, apprenticeships, job training, and more.

They could become America's engine for education choice and lifelong learning.

Low-income families are paying the price for a housing shortage that has been driven by zoning regulation.

@TheGattoniCelli shows how states can undo the damage and give Americans the freedom to move toward opportunity. https://t.co/PZTz5bbH49

[FREOPP @FREOPP]

Regulating AI is popular, but lawmakers in dozens of states writing conflicting and sometimes misguided laws will not reliably generate better outcomes for workers.

FREOPP's @Jon_Hartley_ writes: Many AI bills respond to headlines instead of identified harms.

[FREOPP @FREOPP]

For low-income students with the drive and talent to succeed, selective enrollment public schools are one of the most powerful engines of upward mobility available.

FREOPP's @RenuMukherjee1 makes the case for protecting them.

Working-class Americans stand to gain from generative AI. Unfortunately, dozens of different state rules makes it harder for those seeking better opportunities.

FREOPP’s @Jon_Hartley_ on how fragmented regulation impacts workers: https://t.co/owKsxl375P

[FREOPP @FREOPP]

83% of renters earning under $30,000 per year are cost-burdened, meaning they spend more than a third of their income just to keep a roof over their heads.

FREOPP's @TheGattoniCelli outlines the policy reforms that would help working families.

Americans pay more for prescription drugs than any other country, and nearly 3 in 10 skip the medications they need because of cost. Patent abuse is a big reason why.

FREOPP's @GreggGirvan has a blueprint to fix it. https://t.co/a52H6QGvLm

My latest blog for @FREOPP mourns the passing of an advocate of civil society and economic empowerment, @BobWoodson.
