Even after the One Big Beautiful Bill, Loopholes Allow Illegal Alien Adults to Receive Welfare and Other Benefits
One major set of policies Republicans touted in their One Big Beautiful Bill (now officially Public Law 119-21, signed on July 4, 2025) sought to end government benefit payments to illegal aliens. But while the new law advances that agenda, such as by preventing illegal alien parents from receiving federal Child Tax Credit (CTC) payments,…

A Republican Bailout for Blue Cities? The Low-Income Housing Tax Credit Trap Explained
The Republican Party’s much-touted “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” includes a $14 billion bailout for some of America’s worst-run cities, all thanks to the proposed expansion of the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC). Doing so would funnel billions more into a program that props up a fundamentally broken housing system without adding the new supply desperately needed…

Have You Heard the Good News?
A quick look at some recent headlines shows that we have problems. The nation sharply and angrily divided along political lines. Rioters in the streets of Los Angeles. A destructive trade war.

What Kids Need—and Adults Need to Know—to Combat the Youth Mental Health Crisis
Starting this fall students in New York will join those in other states like California in not being able to access cellphones during the day.

Work Requirements For Medicaid Could Increase Income and Reduce Poverty
New Congressional Budget Office figures last week indicate that the reconciliation bill passed by the House and under review in the Senate would reduce annual income among the poorest households by $1,600.

Better Boys: The Difference Good Dads Make
The girls cleaned up at my (Brad’s) daughter’s middle school graduation in Virginia this month. Three out of four of the school’s top awards went to girls. A majority of the “President’s Academic Excellence Awards,” an award given to students who maintained an “A” average each semester throughout their middle school career, went to girls. This is par for the course….

The ‘Father Divide’ and What it Means for Our Kids
This Father’s Day, an estimated 72 million greeting cards will zip through the mail, according to Hallmark. Father’s Day ranks a respectable fourth on the list of the highest “card-buying” holidays of the year. But it’s still far behind the next-highest: Mother’s Day. Dads probably shouldn’t take it personally. People tend to feel more sentimental toward their mothers. But while…

From Engineers to Fast Food, How AI Is Rocking the Future of Jobs
The future is here, and it requires robust AI literacy and support for workers and families. Artificial intelligence development and deployment is accelerating, and so are the ironies.

The House of Representatives recently passed by a single vote Republicans’ “One Big Beautiful Bill” that reflects President Donald Trump’s tax and spending agenda, and GOP senators are now working to put their own stamp on the bill. Given that partisan pedigree, you would think this bill had little in common with legislation that Democrats crafted during the…
