I will simply never recover from reading this sentence:

"Since Georgia implemented work requirements in 2020, they have spent twice as much on Deloitte consultants and administrative costs as on healthcare for people."

Inattention amongst Democrats to the SEC ia going to go on the permanent records of several people, as I told Capitol Account.

Our friends at @revolvingdoordc go under the hood into the groups (yes centrists have groups too) pushing the "abundance" agenda, finding tons of big money-ties to oil and Big Tech.

In a new @TheNatlInterest article, Co-founder @janetabouelias warns: "The prospect of a sustained ground invasion in Lebanon presents a grim reality for the region... Congress must act swiftly to halt the flow of arms that could enable greater violence."

I’m really really grateful for the chance to contribute to @break_downradio’s project of connecting capitalism to our climate crisis.

I spoke with @RashidaTlaib after Netanyahu's heavily-applauded address to Congress.
“I will say it over and over again, the cries of Israeli babies are no different to me than the cries of Palestinian babies. But for my colleagues, there's a difference.”

Experiments in group living have always captured the Bay Area. But what are the ideas driving today's group houses?

Had the pleasure of working with @rSanti97 for @asteriskmgzn, tackling the multifaceted scene that is San Francisco group houses.

In this excellent piece by @KateAronoff on the massive carbon and financial costs of boosting militarization, research director @patrickmbigger points out that unchecked military expansion is a path to implementing climate apartheid. https://t.co/3grGMtHTwc

Read this great interview with our ED @johannabozuwa which touches on what a left climate think tank like us can do: produce research to back up movement demands, help set political agendas, and speak complex policies and priorities into common sense: https://t.co/jfQQQKeTUP

[Philipp Heimberger @heimbergecon]

New paper by IMF economists shows that inflation in advanced economies has mostly been driven by supply shocks (energy, food, supply chains). Macroeconomic conditions "played a secondary role".

[Prem Thakker @prem_thakker]

NEW—Some 20% of Democrats & independents in WI, AZ, MI, PA, and MN say Biden’s handling of the war on Gaza makes it less likely they'll vote for him.
~40% say a permanent ceasefire & conditioning aid to Israel would make them more likely to vote for him.https://t.co/KVFypZ5oa6
