Real worker freedom means workers choose their arrangements, union leaders answer to members, and Congress doesn’t hand statutory advantages to either side

When does financial hardship get mistaken for neglect?
At 2 p.m. ET tomorrow, @aly_brodsky joins Columbia Law’s @JoshGuptaKagan and @BPC_Bipartisan's Tiffany Allen to dig into a new Bipartisan Policy Center case study on how child welfare professionals draw that line.
New market-rate housing for 100 people leads 45–70 people to move out of low-income neighborhoods, mostly within three years. Each move frees up a cheaper home for the next family.
FREOPP’s @TheGattoniCelli explains why abundance works where rent control and inclusionary zoning fall short:

Apprenticeships aren’t just for plumbers and electricians. On @SutherlandInst's Defending Ideas with @nicdunnutah, FREOPP’s Josh Bandoch explains why on-the-job training may be the best way to build real skills and help workers clear the benefit cliff.

In Florida and Arizona, where families of kids with disabilities have the most established school choice options, those complaints are much less common.
FREOPP’s @DanLips writes that letting parents switch schools could spare more families from fighting their district:

The right is on its heels. Freedom is on defense. The only answer from most of the right is to wait for 2028. Not @FREOPP. Unlike most others, our ability to win doesn’t end with a bad election night.
That’s because FREOPP is the only organization committed specifically to advancing right-of-center, freedom-oriented policies with bipartisan support - that is, the only way to accomplish anything productive in the next two years.

Benefit cliffs can make saying no to a raise, a promotion, or more hours the rational choice.
Joshua Bandoch breaks down which state approaches actually help people climb:

If you don’t have a personal safety net, it’s hard to ever stop relying on the government’s. On @SutherlandInst’s Defending Ideas with @nicdunnutah, FREOPP’s Josh Bandoch makes the case that building financial planning into social welfare programs helps families reach stability and build wealth.

FREOPP’s Dan Lips proposes a deal: Congress sends states more special education funding, and in return, states let parents choose a different school when theirs isn’t meeting their child’s needs. Families wouldn’t have to take their district to court to get their kids the help they need.

Government overspending drives inflation and pushes interest rates higher, which makes homes, cars, and credit card debt harder to afford.
On @ceidotorg's @freethe_economy podcast with @RichardMorrison, FREOPP’s @AkashJC explains why affordability for American families will keep slipping without real budget discipline in Washington.

The 2023 law would have continued TANF, SNAP, and child care assistance for families earning up to 250% of the poverty line. Benefits would then have phased out gradually, so that a raise wouldn’t trigger a sudden loss of aid.
Joshua Bandoch explains why that approach costs too much to work, and what states should do instead:

Rural America trails the rest of the country on work, education, and marriage. More spending hasn’t closed the gap.
FREOPP’s @tanneronpolicy argues the party with real answers on farm policy, telemedicine, school choice, and licensing reform could win Congress:
