Americans are demanding policies to make their lives materially better.
@Demos_Org’s new agenda makes the case for a people-centered populism that pairs affordable housing, universal child care, and wealth taxes with deeper reforms to shift economic and political power.

Nearly 2 million people have been unemployed for six months or longer. Behind every statistic is someone trying to pay rent, put food on the table and find work. Working people deserve an economy that delivers good jobs.

A legal fight over the 90-day ban on voter roll purges is heading to the Supreme Court. Republicans seek to reinterpret the NVRA's quiet period, which protects eligible voters from being removed too close to federal elections, which starts Aug. 5.

The same politicians making it harder for working people to join a union want to make it harder for working people to vote. They know that when workers have a voice, on the job or at the ballot box, we have power.

Health care? Too expensive.
Groceries? Your problem.
Gas? Figure it out.
They found billions to fund ICE and tax cuts for billionaires and billion-dollar corporations last year.
Priorities.

While some states expanded mail voting since 2020, 27 states enacted restrictive laws between 2020–2025, fueled by false conservative claims about fraud. Evidence overwhelmingly shows mail voting remains safe and secure—yet restrictions persist.

South Carolina's Governor just signed a bill expanding the state's public sector paid parental leave program! Read about more exciting Southern paid leave progress this year: abetterbalance.org/the-south…

Healthcare premiums are tripling at the exact same time the world has its first trillionaire.
This is not a coincidence.
It's our tax code.

The Trump administration approved a federal voter citizenship verification system for state voter rolls and is exploring using USPS data to monitor mail ballots, according to a DOJ court filing. The plan could threaten eligible voters' access.

New restrictions from the Big Beautiful Bill—signed nearly a year ago with July 4th fanfare—are rippling across the country. The law cuts $187 billion from food stamps over a decade. Since enactment, 3.5 million people have fallen off SNAP rolls.

Our tax code has a $48 BILLION loophole for the richest 1% to avoid capital gain taxes.
That's bigger than the USAID budget, or NASA's budget.
Tax breaks for the rich cost us SO MUCH.
And all they do is make the rich richer while we struggle to afford gas, groceries, and rent.

"Gerrymandering — the process of manipulating election maps in ways that favor particular outcomes — has long been a problem in the United States. Now, largely due to a series of Supreme Court rulings, it’s getting worse — and more frequent."

The Supreme Court’s decision to allow Alabama’s discriminatory map isn’t just an attack on voting rights—it’s a key ingredient in the recipe for corruption.
Racism is the weapon; unchecked power is the goal.
Demos retweeted
The fight for voting rights has never been linear. Every generation has faced attempts to restrict access to the ballot box, and every generation has risen to meet these challenges. This moment is no different. And remember: Your vote still matters.

This is the impact of the Trump admin’s big, ugly bill:
700,000 kids across the country are going hungry after being kicked off SNAP food assistance. The admin risked kids’ futures so they could give billionaires and giant corporations another tax break.

The emerging workforce is facing an affordability crisis and a difficult job market, but strong workplace protections can help young people stay attached to their jobs and lay a strong economic foundation. Powerful reporting by @Rainesford: theguardian.com/us-news/2026…

Let me get this straight.
Groceries are more expensive, so the people in charge threw 3 million people off SNAP.
No one can afford healthcare, so they kicked 15 million people off their coverage and tripled premiums.
And their solution was tax breaks for the rich?!
Demos retweeted
Instead of helping working people struggling to pay their bills because of skyrocketing costs, the Trump admin officially ripped away overtime eligibility from millions of workers.
The Trump admin is siding with corporate greed. Again.

A SCOTUS decision gutted Sec 2 of the VRA while ordering Louisiana to redraw its congressional map. The ruling removes the last strong protection against racial discrimination in redistricting, allowing lawmakers to weaken Black voting power. #Callais
