Winning elections and governing well require very different skills. Writing in @thehill, @Will_PPI argues President Trump has mastered the first but not the second. His tariffs, inflation record, and Iran war are hurting working Americans, and voters have noticed. thehill.com/opinion/white-ho…

No single private actor should hold a kill switch over a U.S. ally’s defense. In the latest issue of Domain Awareness, PPI’s @tamarjacoby, Mary Guenther, and @danielle_steitz explain how Starlink restrictions weakened Ukraine’s drone defenses and eroded allied trust in U.S. technology. progressivepolicy.org/ukrain…

Should DMA gatekeeper status matter under the draft EU Merger Guidelines? Diana Moss of @ppi says no: in merger review, gatekeeper status should bring neither a presumption nor stricter scrutiny. Full interview: youtu.be/EMn1LQRh528 #MergerControl

Career and technical education is booming, but enrollment alone will not expand opportunity. In a new op-ed for @The74, PPI’s Bruno Manno argues that program design, employer partnerships, and better tracking of graduate outcomes will decide whether CTE pays off for students. the74million.org/article/car…

PPI retweeted
#CTE has earned its popularity. The research behind it is real, especially for young men who have been drifting away from school and work. But enrollment is not the goal. Opportunity is buff.ly/aWvg9vV

Easing sanctions on Russia has not lowered what Americans pay for diesel. In this week’s edition of Trade Fact, PPI’s @EBGresser shows prices barely moved after the administration’s October 9 waiver and argues pressure should fall on Russia as the invader, not on Ukraine. progressivepolicy.org/trade-…

I appreciate this point from Bruno Manno of @ppi that the Do No Harm test will help direct students to certificate programs with better outcomes--strengthening the value of the trade-school pathway.

The transatlantic relationship is changing for good. In new reflections from Warsaw, PPI’s Danielle Steitz and @tamarjacoby explain why there will be no return to the old status quo and why Europe’s most urgent need is now a truly collective defense. progressivepolicy.org/warsaw…

Bipartisan permitting reform is a rare chance to build the power plants and transmission lines America needs. PPI’s Neel Brown warns that rejecting this deal for a better one later could repeat Democrats’ 1974 mistake on health care policy and stall reform for decades. radicallypragmatic.org/p/wil…

Tariffs and the war with Iran have pushed the farm economy into crisis. PPI’s @EBGresser shows how higher costs, lost exports, and soaring diesel prices are squeezing farmers. He urges repealing tariffs, mending ties with Canada and Mexico, and passing a farm bill. ms.now/opinion/rural-voters-…

Thanks for having me on this panel on to discuss the work of my @ceidotorg colleagues & I on prediction markets’ benefits. I so enjoyed the discussion on this innovation & the right regulatory policy to govern it!
Prediction markets matter well beyond sports. This morning, PPI’s @MichaelMandel, @ceidotorg’s @jberlau, and Dartmouth’s Eric Zitzewitz explored how non-sports prediction markets can help small businesses hedge risk, workers plan careers, and policymakers see what’s ahead.

“[Prediction markets are] an excellent tool for hedging for small businesses.” @jberlau of the Competitive Enterprise Institute noted that, like commodities markets, event contracts let small firms manage risks that once required costly derivatives only big firms could afford.
