I appreciate this piece from @garywinslett.bsky.social & @tahrajirari.bsky.social about Medicaid and what it means for rural communities. I particularly like this callout that the point is to kick people off of Medicaid to achieve the "savings."

New: The battle for the House in 2026 will be won in the suburbs. Our analysis shows Democrats targeting districts where economic anxiety over healthcare, childcare & daily costs is high. With just 3 seats between the parties, cost-of-living issues will decide who governs. 🧵

Democrats need a real pro-family agenda that makes it easier, and cheaper, to raise kids. @garywinslett outlines 10 smart policies, from baby bonuses to single-stair reform. Families deserve affordable childcare, safe cities, and homes that work for real life.

NEW: California voters put housing costs first, yet the Senate made Aisha Wahab housing chair. She says “protect supply, curb demand” and fights parking reforms. Putting a brake pedal at the wheel shows Sacramento won't kick its anti‑development habit.

New Rebuild Post!
Maritime protectionism has failed for 100 years. It didn't build us a fleet. It won't now. But the USTR's originally proposed fees of up to $1.5M per port call on Chinese ships will raise prices, shrink exports, and creates more chaos for U.S. businesses. 🧵

America faces a critical housing shortage with millions of homes in underproduction. The only way out is to build more and now lumber prices are hitting 30-month highs all due to tariffs + construction costs are soaring. We need affordability to build more, not higher prices.

Boomers love progress—until it moves next door. Older progressives have become the biggest roadblock to housing reform. The generation that once championed change now blocks it when their property values are at stake. 🧵

Will it ever end? Auto tariffs threaten global automakers and risk major supply chain disruption. With 50% of US auto market being imports, these tariffs could spike car prices, hurt consumers, and damage integrated North American manufacturing networks.

Trump’s plan to treat VATs as tariffs is bad economics. VATs are standard consumption taxes, not trade barriers. This move risks unjustified tariffs, higher prices for Americans, and retaliation from key trade partners—hurting U.S. businesses more than it helps.

Temu's shift to "half-custody" shipping due to Trump's tariffs means higher consumer prices ahead. Merchants losing bulk shipping benefits & handling new logistics costs themselves. With both Temu & Shein adapting to stricter rules, the era of ultra-cheap Chinese goods may be ending.

Important to note that the 2018 tariffs on steel and aluminum led to increase costs and likely resulted in "75,000 fewer manufacturing jobs in firms where steel or aluminum are an input into production."
But yeah, we will be owning Canada with this one.

This morning, WH advisor said they want to increase labor supply - yet past steel tariffs like those in 2002 cut nearly 200k downstream jobs vs 187k total steel jobs.
New tariffs would work against this goal and attempt to "fight inflation" by cutting jobs and raising costs.
