Back in the '80s, policymakers were worried about a physician surplus.

So they created an artificial physician shortage, which has left Americans with a really expensive system that doesn't give them the care that they need.

Scarcity is bad policy.

“Child Tax Credit expansions should ideally provide more support to low-income households, be fiscally responsible, and avoid work disincentives.” @George_A_Callas

MOCs shouldn't be subjected to death threats over a vote. The escalation of bullying tactics is corrosive for our government. It's time for the House GOP Conference to back the Speaker Pro Tempore and address the pressing issues confronting our nation and the world. #SpeakerVote

@PoPville the long line van moving company is currently holding my family’s possessions hostage and extorting us for thousands. Keep changing the terms. Trying to get help from @DCPoliceDept. This is a terrible situation we wouldn’t wish on anyone.

@MayorBowser the Long Line Van Moving Company is holding my family’s possessions hostage and extorting us for more money. Demanding thousands in cash. We need immediate help in Tenleytown.

"Niskanen's emergence in Washington is more than a story about an obscure think tank’s fight to make a mark...It’s about whether ideas have a place in our politics at all." And we believe they do!

[Niskanen Center @NiskanenCenter]

Finding hope in American politics means identifying policies that both Republicans and Democrats can get behind.

This isn't about one party or the other. It's about improving American lives.

Niskanen's Robert Litterman testified about the economic risks of climate inaction before @SenateBudget today:

"By the end of the century, every degree the planet
warms will shave around 1.2 percentage points off of GDP."

The Hatch-Waxman Act's framework balances drug competition & IP rights by expediting drug entry & providing special rights to *certain* patents.

But sometimes drugmakers try to claim these protections for ineligible patents, harming the public.

Dominion Energy announced it will return easements from the canceled Atlantic Coast Pipeline to landowners (who will also keep all compensation).

Honored to partner w/@FriendsofNelson / @timkaine in fighting this battle on behalf of impacted landowners. https://t.co/lTaS5b659o

U.S. apartment buildings have stricter fire safety regulations than those in Europe. These restrictions make them less livable.

Also, European apartment buildings have lower rates of fire deaths than those in the U.S. https://t.co/liOqzke9ws

Forming “coalitions of convenience” was also the advice that @khilldavis and I offered Dems this summer, suggesting that they “negotiate issue-by-issue with ad hoc, shifting coalitions of governing-minded Republicans”

While Speaker Pelosi and I don’t agree much on policy, she has been an incredible example of female leadership. A total powerhouse.

Tell your friends. Or better yet, call your Senators and Congressional Representatives.

Set a minimum transmission transfer requirement!

INBOX: Dem climate hawk @SeanCasten says in a new statement that he supports Manchin's permitting bill because "without reforming transmission permitting and siting processes, we will not meet our climate goals."
