Despite GOP politicians’ attempts to skew the field in their favor, American voters showed up in force this Tuesday in a resounding rejection of MAGA ideology.

On @inequalityorg, @SarahDAnderson1 looks at one of the policy platforms which proved popular among voters this midterm election — taking our economy and our government back from corporations and billionaires. inequality.org/article/six-in…

Taxing the ultra-wealthy is a popular idea among the public.

Yet this election cycle, a handful of California billionaires are spending big to stop a proposition that would impose a one-time 5% tax on their accumulated fortunes.

Washington under Trump has imposed tariffs and clashed with Lula over visas. A new Congress could constrain what the administration does next toward Brazil.

We can help shape the future we want our children to inherit this election. And with millions of families depending on caregivers every day, the stakes are deeply personal.

We all deserve food.

We all deserve access to health care.

We all deserve quality education.

We all deserve for our hard-earned taxes to fund our communities, not reckless wars or corporate giveaways.

We all deserve a say in our lives. Vote today.

IPS mourns the loss of Isabel Morel De Letelier, a gentle giant of the human rights and women’s movements who died Friday in Santiago, Chile.

Isabel turned the assassination of her husband into a force for justice, never losing hope. Her legacy lives on.

If you’ve been struggling to afford housing, healthcare, or even groceries lately, there’s good news: these are the result of bad policy choices.

While AI giant Anthropic touts its new philanthropy, IPS scholar @bdevaan urges keeping a focus on "actually achiev[ing] charitable aims."

“Their wealth belongs to the public in the first place — it’s created by the country and there’s a sort of social wage owed to people."

New polling with @IPS_DC finds that a majority of voters (53%) have a negative view of private jets being used to transport politicians to campaign events.

Proponents claim that the "permitting reform" bill they're pushing is good for the climate.

The bill's endorsement by the American Petroleum Institute says otherwise. commondreams.org/opinion/permit…

NEW: Netanyahu or not, we must not let Israel’s elections become an excuse for U.S. lawmakers to go back to “business as usual” with the Israeli government while it continues a genocide, warns IPS scholar @PhyllisBennis on @AJEnglish.

NEW: We found 22 California billionaires vocally funding opposition to the one-time 5% billionaire wealth tax that would help fund state health care programs.

Their collective wealth has grown 64% in 20 months(!).

Rein in this greed. Pass the tax.

When you hear their baleful cries, echoing from the superyachts and private jets, reassure them: “It’s going to be OK. You’ll have 95% of your billions and tens of thousands of your neighbors will have health care. You will get over this.” @Chuck99to1:
