We unapologetically support movements to resist fascism and win transformational progressive change — and we have done so for over 60 years. For the full scope of timely analysis from IPS public scholars now and in months to come, follow us at

A new poll from @newrepublic found, once again, that a majority of Americans favor higher taxes on the rich. Now, with the GOP’s new budget set to funnel more wealth to the wealthy than ever before, we must demand a tax system that works for all Americans.

NEW: Trump's big, ugly grift will allow private jet buyers 100% “bonus depreciation” in the year of purchase. A corporation purchasing a $50 million jet could deduct the entire $50 million from their taxes in the same year. IPS scholar @Chuck99to1:

NEW: We don't need "good use" cases for AI. We need to strictly regulate its rapid, thoughtless expansion. @SonaliKolhatkar:

"It’s not too late to protect the federal workers who remain in their roles," writes former NOAA employee Sabrina Valenti. "Much of the damage from hurricanes this summer can be restored, but you can’t bring back the dead."

This weekend, flooding killed at least 82 people in Texas. This comes after Trump laid off thousands of federal workers tasked with predicting and responding to storms, from NOAA to the NWS. As we mourn these losses, we demand that we prevent more. Fund our federal agencies.

All across rural America, access to healthcare through Medicaid can be a matter of life or death. The current GOP budget bill would be devastating to these communities. We must let lawmakers know — *all* Americans deserve access to affordable healthcare.

The Trump administration’s gutting of the CFPB’s Office of Servicemember Affairs, along with other regulations, is opening the door for corporations to take advantage of military families. Our government owes it to these families to restore the CFPB.

If these attacks on immigrants were really about “following the law,” then immigrants fleeing war and persecution would be able to exercise their right to seek asylum. Policy analyst Farrah Hassen:

The U.S. spends $3 billion every year on the world’s largest immigration detention system, which is primarily operated by for-profit prison contractors like GEO Group and CoreCivic. It's not about any laws. It's about more money for the rich.

RT @RBReich: Never before in the history of this nation has such a large redistribution of income been directed upward, for no reason at al….

NEW: In its gutting of the CFPB, the Trump administration just hollowed out its Office of Servicemember Affairs, leaving military families exposed to predatory lending, debt collectors, and scams. Chloe Rogers of @RealBankReform:

NEW: Over 700 rural hospitals — 1 in 3 — already face serious financial problems and need support to avoid closing. Instead, Trump’s big, ugly bill would put *338 more* at risk of layoffs, reductions, or closure. IPS Wallace Fellow Ta'Kyla Bates:

Companies like OpenAI want us to think "AI" technology is inevitable. But in addition to a slew of ethical and environmental problems, studies now show that overusing AI reduces our brain’s capacity to function. It’s time to regulate AI. @SonaliKolhatkar

A new study from @theicct found that private jets produce a disproportionate amount of pollution compared to commercial flights—especially in the U.S. It’s time we taxed private jet travel to reflect its real costs. @Chuck99to1 on @inequalityorg

NEW: Trump is pouring money into wars and militarism as he drains funds for Medicaid and food stamps here at home. This is a critical time for donors to support anti-war and pro-democracy groups. IPS scholar @PhyllisBennis in @npquarterly:

@BRepairers In West Virginia, some 75,000 people would lose Medicaid with the enactment of this GOP bill. See how many people in your state would be affected by these brutal Medicaid and SNAP cuts:

On Monday, IPS helped @BRepairers gather hundreds at the Supreme Court to give a face to the damage of Trump’s big, ugly bill. Elaina Hurley of West Virginia is one of tens of thousands of people for whom this policy violence could mean death:

NEW: Trump's unshakable faith in his own abilities only highlights how little faith Democratic leaders show, writes IPS ED @topefolarin in @thedrift_mag. "We are being led by people who fail to grasp that we are in a spiritual contest with our opponents."
