Europe’s governing parties are imploding as populists surge and working-class voters defect.
Democrats face the same choice as Labour: chase progressive purity or rebuild a broad coalition around credible economic solutions.
@Will_PPI argues Democrats must offer working Americans common ground on living costs, immigration, and crime to isolate MAGA extremists and win back the majority. https://t.co/EtWLvAoBMU
Globally, a strong center-left is the best bulwark against right-wing populism.
At WelcomeFest 2026, PPI’s @claire_ainsley joined @mattyglesias and @Yascha_Mounk to argue that pragmatic governance and a renewed brand can win back the working-class voters now drifting away.
The AI data center boom is reshaping global trade flows.
@EBGresser reports 831 data centers are now under construction across the United States, fueling a torrent of semiconductor imports from Taiwan, whose economy is surging. https://t.co/MTgcaabrQI
A robust space launch sector is foundational to U.S. economic strength and national security.
Tomorrow, PPI and @ccianet host a Capitol Hill briefing featuring Mary Guenther and others on how Congress can foster a competitive, resilient launch economy and sustain American leadership. https://t.co/TNVsiqyK4I
ICYMI: The Trump administration’s proposed “board of trade” with China raises a fundamental question: what actually counts as a “non-sensitive” good?
@EBGresser warns that years of expanding “national security” tariffs to cover even steel coffins has made that definition nearly impossible to apply with any consistency.
Ukraine’s long-range strike campaign is reshaping the battlefield and exposing Europe’s deep-strike gap.
@tamarjacoby reports from Kyiv on how Ukrainian-made missiles and drones are degrading Russia’s war machine, and why Europe cannot afford to keep relying on American weapons that may not always be there. https://t.co/HPkfa8PEfZ
Join us on Tuesday morning on Capitol Hill for our next Women in Policy Alliance Coffee & Conversation event, featuring a fireside chat with PPI's @claire_ainsley and @AnushkaAsthana of Channel 4 News.

America’s chronic disease epidemic demands serious solutions grounded in science.
Alix Ware examines how HHS Secretary Kennedy has abandoned evidence-based health policy in favor of discredited theories, firing scientists and defunding research while eroding public trust in our health institutions. https://t.co/gBpGdbettl
U.S. layoffs have risen for four consecutive years, reaching 21.2 million in 2025.
@EBGresser argues that Congress should revive and expand the Trade Adjustment Assistance program to support all displaced workers, not just those affected by imports.
The program offers job training, wage insurance, and relocation support that workers need to get ahead. https://t.co/myO9PRgemS
Advanced recycling could multiply U.S. plastic recycling by 2.5x.
@stumalec outlines how this proven technology, with proper regulatory support, can scale to address the scale of America’s plastic waste problem. https://t.co/IeeeFpnUhj
Conventional recycling captures just 9% of America’s plastic waste. Advanced recycling technology can break down plastics that mechanical systems cannot, including flexible films and contaminated materials.
@stumalec argues the U.S. could increase plastic diversion rates to 19–23% while saving municipalities $230–$328 million annually in landfill fees. https://t.co/PIGsN2CJVl
.@ppi CEO Lindsay Mark Lewis: “@RepSmucker’s Protecting American Streaming and Innovation Act charts a smart and effective path, engaging Congress in support of a US ‘Section 301’ investigation of the OSA regulations. Strong, united, coordinated, bipartisan action ... would put Canada and our trading partners around the world on notice that we expect trade agreements to be followed and will not tolerate discriminatory policies that single out American firms for unfair and burdensome regulation.”
Congress needs to act on the Protecting American Streaming and Innovation Act and trigger a Section 301 investigation.
The U.S. can’t let this stand, and other countries are watching. If Canada gets away with this, expect a wave of copycat taxes on American digital services worldwide. That’s a losing game for innovation and consumers.
Today, PPI urged the House Ways and Means Committee to act on discriminatory Canadian regulations targeting American streaming services.
Canada just announced a massive new tax under the guise of protecting local content. Here’s the problem: it violates USMCA, and could cost consumers $7B over five years. https://t.co/YuSq5Bu47v
Canada’s argument: American platforms crowd out local programming.
Reality check: Streaming services have invested more in global content than ever before. One French show, “Lupin,” generated 90M euros for France’s economy and employed 600 local vendors.
As Americans prepare to honor those who died in service, three young voices reflect on what patriotism means today.
In essays curated by @RickKahlenberg, authors Jaxon Shealy, Ed Weinberg, and Armond Halbert explore how ordinary citizenship sustains American democracy. https://t.co/e6xqLMzUki
In advance of Memorial Day, at a time when many young Americans express a lack of enthusiasm for America and its democracy, @ppi & @CNLiberalism are highlighting 3 inspiring young voices who reject the idea that patriotism is uncool. https://t.co/nK69eXV1Dm
Advanced recycling could keep 6.6 million tons of plastic waste out of landfills every year.
@stumalec examines how scaling this technology could boost waste diversion rates and save municipalities hundreds of millions in tipping fees annually. https://t.co/IeeeFpos6R

This week's Trade Fact: @CommerceGov's April "232" decree puts 25% "national security" tariff on coffins. As they drive up coffin prices, DoC is unwittingly speeding the public's shift away from burial to cremation & endangering US casket-making future. https://t.co/DU4SCSIHwx
ICYMI: Coffin prices in America are up roughly $100 over the past year, driven largely by the Trump administration’s steel tariffs.
@EBGresser explains how tariffs intended to protect domestic manufacturing are instead accelerating the shift toward cremation and hastening the decline of American casket-makers. https://t.co/5g78pcL1Ow
.@ppi’s Diana Moss via @JakeLahut: “This is an enormous diversion away from the Live Nation - Ticketmaster monopoly ... Don’t look over here at the monopoly, look over there at the resale market. Let’s call the resale market a bunch of scalpers, make unsubstantiated claims about how it functions, and lay the blame at the feet of the resale market.”
