AI is moving fast and has the potential to disrupt the global economy. Are policymakers keeping up?
ESCAA Vice President Teri Olle spoke with @politico about the urgency of acting now, warning that policymakers could underestimate how quickly AI could upend the labor market — and that by the time the damage is visible, it may already be too late.

1/ Today, ESP released Building Affordability, our new policy agenda on housing, which tackles the two causes of unaffordability: broken markets and broken incomes.
Written by @chao_becky, @Mtkonczal, and @resnikoff, it shows how policy can expand supply while also directly protecting tenants.

Trump cut nearly a trillion dollars from Medicaid to pay for tax cuts for giant corporations.
Now they're telling cancer patients and people with HIV that they need to work harder to keep their health insurance.
Unconscionable.

I want to be calm and clear:
This will impact every American who is not a multimillionaire.
One accident.
One bad day.
One diagnosis.
That’s all that separates most people from needing the social safety net they spent their entire lives paying into.

In 2024, Trump promised to protect Medicaid.
Then, in 2025, he and his Republican pals in Congress cut over $1 TRILLION from Medicaid to give tax breaks to billionaires.
Take it from Speaker Johnson's own mouth: in 2027, they're coming for Medicare and Social Security too.

The fix to California’s affordability crisis isn't complicated nor radical, writes Teri Olle, Vice President of Economic Security California Action, in her new op-ed in the @sfchronicle. "It is restoring expectations of fairness and accountability, so that our modern economy works for everyone — not just the world's most powerful corporations."
Four companies control nearly half our grocery shelves. Corporate profits are up 133% in two decades. Wages? Only 8%. Californians pay an estimated $3,700 more a year than they would in a competitive market.
The COMPETE Act updates a 119-year-old law so California can do something about it. The Assembly recently voted to advance it. Now the California Senate must act.

AOC: Health care plans across the country are being eliminated or completely changed in order to accommodate a $1 trillion cut in our health care system. So when people see a ballroom, and they see, at the same time, their health insurance getting cut off, they know that they are paying for that ballroom with no health care, higher grocery prices, and increasingly impossible to afford housing.

Working Californians will get hit the hardest by looming Medi-Cal cuts.
We joined @ProtectOurCare to let Californians know: the cuts are coming, but we don't have to stand for it.
It's time to fight back against GOP healthcare cuts.

No one should have to choose between a paycheck and their health care.
New Medicaid work rules add more red tape for caregivers, and increase hurdles to care for disabled people.

ALT Newspaper-style announcement with the headline, "Trump Administration Announces Stricter Rules for Medicaid Work Requirement," mentioning the potential loss of coverage for people with serious illnesses. Includes logos for The New York Times and Caring Across Generations, with stickers reading "Thanks, I hate it" and the presidential seal in the background.
ALT A graphic with text about Medicaid work requirement rules from a source labeled as the New York Times. It discusses the impact on coverage for Americans, particularly those with serious health conditions, older adults, and family caregivers. The source is credited at the bottom, along with the logo for Caring Across Generations.
ALT Image with text about new rules affecting disabled people, highlighting how exemptions based on health or disability status are changing. Workers must now prove they work at least 80 hours a month to retain care. If they can't meet this requirement, they risk losing it but keeping their paycheck.

ALT Text reading: "No one should have to choose between a paycheck and their health care. These changes erase decades of progress for disabled people and limits state flexibility in helping those in need. Now is the time to speak up.

The GOP cut Medicaid to fund tax cuts for the ultra-rich. Now, nearly 2 million kids have lost Medicaid access.
We should be funding healthcare for kids, not wealthcare for billionaires and big corporations.

🎉 The Illinois legislative session is a wrap. And we have a lot to celebrate.
Working families in Illinois have been squeezed by rising prices and corporate greed. This session, we fought back—and we won:
✅ Hidden junk fees are banned. After three years of advocacy, HB 228 passed. The price you see is the price you pay. No more hidden “convenience” or “processing” fees at checkout.
✅Illinois now has the ability to support local guaranteed income initiatives like the Newborn Equity Support Transfer (NEST), laying the foundation for future investments in economic security.
These victories were made possible by our coalition partners, advocates, parent leaders, and community members who showed up, spoke out, and refused to back down.
This is what fighting for working families looks like. And our fight continues.

Trump's new Medicaid rule creates a labyrinth of paperwork, reporting mandates, and rigid eligibility requirements designed to ensure people lose health care — even when they qualify to keep it.
Republicans are betting that if they make the process confusing enough, millions of Americans will fall through the cracks.

5 million Americans are set to lose their healthcare this year.
All because Republicans thought billionaires and big corporations deserved a tax break more than hardworking Americans deserved access to lifesaving care.

Last night, the California Assembly voted to create a more competitive economy for families, small businesses, and workers across the state. AB 1776, the COMPETE Act, would update a 119-year old antitrust statute to meet the demands of a modern economy and give the tools enforcers need to keep our state innovating.
Thank you to every Assembly member who stood with California families over corporate lobbyists:

Yesterday, the California Assembly passed the COMPETE Act.
AB 1776 would amend a massive loophole in California's antitrust law — ensuring powerful corporations cannot rig the market to hike up costs and lock out competition 🧵
NEWS: The California Assembly has passed the COMPETE Act!
“While the federal administration hands out favors to the wealthy and politically connected, the COMPETE Act represents a groundswell among state lawmakers and enforcers to pick up the slack,” says @LeeHepner
