What are they waiting for indeed, when 30 million Americans are waiting for relief.

We cannot build shared prosperity while millions of workers are trapped by exploitative contracts. CEO Elizabeth Wilkins said it best: "A clear and simple ban on noncompetes is, to my mind, the only way to truly protect workers." npr.org/2025/07/10/nx-…

Childcare in America is broken—expensive, scarce, & treated like a private problem rather than a public priority. Elliot Haspel & Rebecca Gale on how the US has failed to treat childcare as the essential infrastructure it is #fixingchildcare 👇theguardian.com/us-news/2025/j…

#ICYMI: The week’s top stories ✅ The GOP’s “Reverse Robin Hood” budget takes food & health care from kids to fund tax cuts for the rich. ✅ Banning noncompete agreements is essential to a fair economy. More in our #RooseveltRundown ⬇️ rooseveltinstitute.org/roosevelt-rund…

Another win for economic research: Real wages fall as deportations increase! This should change a lot of minds on this website 😜

Roosevelt report out today! How AI is changing the jobs of the govt employees Americans interact with most: the folks who process your marriage licenses, unemployment insurance, driving tests. Upshot: new tech is just transferring more work onto citizens rooseveltinstitute.org/publications/a…

President and CEO Elizabeth Wilkins recently joined the celebration of the 90th Anniversary of Social Security, hosted by the National Academy of Social Insurance in Washington, D.C, and offered an important reminder about the connection between democracy and economic security:

NEW: DC federal court sides with Rebecca Kelly Slaughter , finds her firing by the Trump Administration was illegal

She’s the best.

Learning from what trade did to workers, this time with AI we should make sure “workers are at the heart of it and not just an afterthought who will bear the costs.” Thanks Congressman Chris Deluzio for painting a vision of what a people-first tech agenda should look like.

Congress just gave a paltry tax credit to families while gutting the safety net. We deserve better than that; we also deserve better than we had before. We gotta fight what’s right in front of us and keep dreaming about what could be - like universal child care - to make it real.

NEW: Giant corporations should not be allowed to jack up your prices or lower your wages using data they got spying on you. Whether you know it or not, you may already be getting ripped off. I’m proposing the first federal bill to ban this practice. nbcnews.com/politics/congr…

One big lesson from recent politics is that government needs to deliver better and faster outcomes. Elizabeth Wilkins and Hannah Garden-Monheit are pointing the way for Democrats to do better, and rebuild belief that government can solve problems. Keep an eye on these two...

I have spent most of my life making government work for people. But the institutions I love have been losing faith with the public for a long time. If we love government, then when we rebuild it we’ll have to be willing to break some glass to make it deliver like FDR did.

AI implemented w/o worker voice presents real risk to all kinds of workers. Elizabeth Wilkins and Congressman Chris Deluzio discuss the opportunity for solidarity across industries as lawmakers consider regulation.

Glad to see Roosevelt Institute's Elizabeth Wilkins say this so clearly: Democrats cannot just defend the status quo and push for a return to pre-Trump norms. We need to actually deliver. thehill.com/opinion/white-…
