Proud to be on this team doing what we can to address the immediate crisis as the White house delays and cuts SNAP benefits for families in need. Direct cash benefits mean people can shop without stigma and feed their families with dignity.

[New York Health Foundation @NYHFoundation]

BREAKING: The federal govt announced only partial funding for SNAP benefits following court rulings. This puts millions of NYers at high risk of hunger.

We’re issuing $1 million immediate cash relief to support NY families in need of food assistance.

Worth noting that this big ugly bill comprises draconian policy choices that were developed and supported by some of the very people who represent the New York families and communities who will be harmed.

[New York Health Foundation @NYHFoundation]

The new federal budget will harm the health of New Yorkers for years to come.

@NYHFoundation, @TheGRHF, and the Health Foundation for Western & Central NY are speaking with one voice: NYers will be poorer, sicker & hungrier.

I used to think that all Paul Krugman and I had in common was our love of cats. But now we're both Roosevelters! 🙌🐈

[Roosevelt Institute @rooseveltinst]

We’re so excited to welcome Nobel Prize–winning economist @paulkrugman as a senior fellow! 🎉

To kick off his new role, he sat down with CEO @ewwilkins to talk through today’s economic challenges—and what it will take to meet them. https://t.co/CNw0z5fc57

This one is personal. My papaw served in the CCC and always credited the Roosevelts and the New Deal for helping our family make it through the Great Depression. An important reminder that government can and should work for the people.

[Roosevelt Institute @rooseveltinst]

On this day in 1933, FDR established the Civilian Conservation Corps, offering jobs, hope, and environmental stewardship.

The CCC uplifted a generation of workers and improved public lands—a reminder of leadership that invests in and supports workers. https://t.co/QKR6qCRLG1

President Jimmy Carter—a farmer, an engineer, a public servant, and a pragmatist—believed that government should serve the American people. He governed in a time not unlike our own when people struggled to keep the faith in American institutions. 🧵(1/4)

“Harris has made a set of policy choices over the last several weeks that make it clear that the Democratic Party is committed to a pro working-family agenda. @RooseveltFwd's @FeliciaWongRI in @washingtonpost this morning https://t.co/36xhrRf4l5

[Felicia Wong @FeliciaWongRI]

The top @kamalaharris messages are economic! #3 = her tie-breaking vote to pass the ARP, which:

☑️Sent $1.9T to workers & small businesses during COVID, keeping them whole.
☑️Cut child poverty in half w/the CTC. Parents could feed their kids!

Voters know - government can work.

The Walz pick "... affirms that public investments in worker protection and the care sector and support for working families are good policy and good politics." - @FeliciaWongRI, @RooseveltFwd statement https://t.co/UNnesqaoPM

As President Biden withdraws from the 2024 race, there’s much to build on from the administration’s successes to continue ushering in a new worldview that centers public power and equity. https://t.co/AAU0xOXVvb

[Roosevelt Forward @RooseveltFwd]

The Biden-Harris admin. has led a paradigm shift that:

✅ Puts to rest the lie of trickle-down economics
✅ Reclaims the importance of governance
✅ Utilizes the power of gov't to shape markets for the public good

@FeliciaWongRI reflects on the legacy 🧵
https://t.co/A3v6qJnKZV

[Felicia Wong @FeliciaWongRI]

The Biden-Harris economic successes are once-in-a-generation.
✅Record-low unemployment
✅Record-high wages
✅Labor support at an all-time high
✅Trillions invested in an energy transformation
Not since FDR have we seen a paradigm shift this profound.

Taxing the rich—it's good policy and good politics.

For the @nytimes, @FeliciaWongRI explores how Biden's gamble on taxes could reshape US politics and Americans relationship with taxes for the better: https://t.co/9mbg4GRVm5

[DeDe Dunevant @dededunevant]

“Could we get past the sense that taxes are what the government takes, and toward an idea of taxes as a means of patriotism … What if taxation could bring us all together?” @FeliciaWongRI in today’s @nytopinion https://t.co/6ehAK3qr14

Personnel is policy people. I have a new favorite public servant - congrats @mtkonczal!

[Roosevelt Institute @rooseveltinst]

🎉 A huge congratulations to Roosevelt’s @mtkonczal on his transition from director of macroeconomic analysis to the appointment as special assistant to the president for economic policy in the National Economic Council. 🧵https://t.co/JGBYSU6bXw

[DeDe Dunevant @dededunevant]

@ENPancotti @rooseveltinst Welcome - thrilled to have you on board!

[DeDe Dunevant @dededunevant]

The New York Times this morning said that "Economic thinking has become more progressive in recent years." The @rooseveltinst has the receipts on how and why that's happening and the work that remains to be done. https://t.co/9x0RDnC8sb

“Whether it’s about A.I. replacing writing jobs or jobs in new battery plants that don’t pay a living wage, these disputes are all about who gets to have power in the new economy,” @FeliciaWongRI tells @NewYorker’s @JohnCassidy https://t.co/pWXBavoPXR

Grates every time I encounter it.

[Ronan Farrow @RonanFarrow]

I regret to inform that, under @NewYorker style guidelines, it is indeed "vender."

[Roosevelt Institute @rooseveltinst]

Today marks 1 year since the signing of the #InflationReductionAct.

@Toddntucker reflects on how this signature piece of #Bidenomics legislation has already unlocked significant economic benefits and explains the areas where we must go further. https://t.co/MP0rpQWVNT
