It is very important to understand that just raising the Child Tax Credit maximum amount, which is what it looks like House Rs are doing, leaves behind 17 million kids of parents who are cooks, carpenters, nursing aides ... who get < the max -- they will get nothing!

My latest American Progress: IRS cuts may cost the government ~$1 trillion/10 years. Forward by Lawrence H. Summers "...some calls are close. Some are not. This is in the latter category.

House Republicans' “big, beautiful bill” is expected to significantly increase U.S. government debt, driving up interest rates for borrowers—including families taking out a mortgage or people growing their businesses. New from Natalie Baker & Sara Estep: americanprogress.org/article/state-…

This one was emotional. I read thousands of project abstracts that could've helped fix the problems that cause so many Black women to die in childbirth, encouraged young girls to become engineers, and helped women escape abuse. Years of progress, gone. americanprogress.org/article/how-th…

This is beyond the pale. RFK Jr is a dangerous and reckless HHS Secretary. Senate leadership should be ashamed for confirming him knowing full well what the consequences would be. Their cowardice will cost lives.

A new CAP analysis shows DOGE has cut at least $3 billion in grants for research, education, and other programs that help women and girls—especially women of color. More from Kierra Jones and Sara Estep: americanprogress.org/article/how-th…

The Trump administration's gutting of government agencies is a direct attack on the lives and safety of countless women across America, but women like Racquel are showing up and fighting back.

Our latest shows that LGBTQI+ households lose $12,600 per year to the wage gap, and the gaps are wider for LGBTQI+ people who are trans, women, and people of color. We must fight the claw backs to our civil rights enforcement agencies for #LGBTQIAEqualPay. americanprogress.org/article/the-20…

Today is #LGBTQIAEqualPay Day. Did you know that 16 states do not have explicit prohibitions for discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity — including when it comes to equal pay — in their state laws? No worker should face pay discrimination.

Emotional labor isn't just exhausting—it’s costly. LGBTQIA+ workers often navigate bias and discrimination daily, sacrificing mental health and economic stability. It’s time to recognize the invisible burdens and demand workplace equity. To build truly inclusive environments,

New on #LGBTQIAEqualPay Awareness Day: LGBTQI+ households make 85 cents on the 💲of non-LGBTQI+ households—that’s $12,600 in annual lost wages. We must defend our civil rights enforcement agencies to stop discrimination so everyone has #PrideInYourPay. americanprogress.org/article/the-20…

CBO just released a dynamic estimate and the cost of OBBBA goes from $2.4 trillion to $2.8 trillion. But by convention they don’t include the costs of interest on new debt. If they do that - cost goes to $3.4 trillion. The Budget Lab's comparable estimate was $3.5 trillion. 1/

3 years since Dobbs and we've seen a dead woman used as a human incubator and Congressional republicans try to rip away Medicaid which pays for 4 in 10 births in the US.

Three years after the fall of Roe, the damage is undeniable. The Dobbs decision unleashed a wave of reproductive oppression, deepening economic inequality, causing preventable deaths, and stripping millions of their bodily autonomy. IWPR calls on leaders, advocates, and

SCOTUS just said in a 6-3 ruling: if SC bans Planned Parenthood from Medicaid, patients can’t do a damn thing about it. Cancer screenings? STI care? Birth control? Not their problem. This ruling makes it harder for anyone to challenge states defunding care.
