"The idea of a stakeholder society is not bad. That part is valuable," economist Darrick Hamilton, a longtime advocate of "Baby Bonds," tells me. But the big problems are Trump "is relying on saving, and, two, in the regressive structure of the program.ā€ newyorker.com/news/the-finan…

At this dangerous moment in history, status quo politics isn’t good enough. We need new leadership that is prepared to stand up to powerful corporate interests & fight for the working class.Ā  Zohran Kwame Mamdani is providing that vision. He is the best choice for NYC mayor.

Brad Lander’s arrest by ICE is a continuation of the unlawful attacks on immigrants, elected officials, judges, and protesters. Brad Lander is showing our City what it means to have the courage, solidarity, and moral clarity to stand up to ICE and protect our communities.

ICE's arrest of New York City Comptroller Brad Lander is a shocking abuse of power. No one should face fear and intimidation in a courthouse, and this administration’s continued rampant targeting of New Yorkers makes our communities less safe. apnews.com/article/brad-l…

Hi, it’s Meg again. Brad is still in ICE custody. We are grateful to the many friends, supporters, and allies who have gathered in Federal Plaza. Together we are standing up for those with no voice.

I’ve met with working people across this country, and everyone, everywhere thinks we should be protecting Social Security. DOGE’s misinformation, cuts, and data takeovers are putting working families at risk. vanityfair.com/news/story/may…

"Trump’s Proposed Cash-for-Kids Savings Scheme" not quite what Sandy Darity, Retweets do not mean endorsement. & Darrick Hamilton had in mind: ā€œIt’s upside down,ā€ Darrick Hamilton told me. ā€œIt amounts to a further subsidy to the affluent, who can already afford to save in the first place." newyorker.com/news/the-finan…

Not entirely sure what Trump’s proposed ā€œcash-for-kidsā€ savings plan will mean for families? Founding Director Darrick Hamilton was interviewed in the The New Yorker about who really stands to benefit from these child investment accounts: newyorker.com/news/the-finan…
