This is a moment where the Center for American Progress is more important than ever.

There is a competition of ideas in the country.

And this time calls for both a strong critique of the Trump administration’s policies and the development of an alternative agenda to solve the country’s problems.

CAP’s work has been central to developing an agenda across economics, domestic policy, and foreign policy that have been adopted by leaders in the broad center-left, as CAP did when it proposed policy frameworks that led to the Affordable Care Act and a plan to end the Iraq War.

Those ideas were picked up in the campaign and presidency of Barack Obama.

And later, its ideas on climate investments were adopted and implemented by President Joe Biden.

And I can think of no one better to lead CAP in this moment than Neera Tanden, who has worked in three White Houses and led CAP as it worked to defeat Trump’s repeal of the ACA.

Statement from @neeratanden.bsky.social:

I’m thrilled to join the Center for American Progress, with its talented leaders across multiple issues, at this critical moment in history.

As CAP has done before, it will develop an agenda to build a resilient coalition and take on the Trump administration’s assault on core American values and its harms to Americans from all walks of life.

Meant to write take control of the Presidency, as well as both houses of congress, in 2028.

Could the Center take a page from the right wingers' book and come up with a Project 2029? -- detailed, 600+ page progressive agenda for when we take control of both houses of congress in the election of 2028.

Would this organization be able to organize a "Shadow Cabinet"? There is much interest in the idea of having each cabinet minister shadowed by an expert in the opposition. See essays by Timothy Snyder, presentation by Wiley Nickel and others.

Democrats never want to win another election.

The Dems just spiked the most winnable election in decades on a CAPlike platform but okay

What a great way to say your organization has learned nothing from the fascism its policies helped produce. The “third way” is dead.

johnbrownbread.bsky.social•5 days ago

Wow. An absolute failure. Your organization is trash. You are just looking to keep losing. The “third way” bullshit is dead and was it killed by the fascism it helped produce

are you fucking kidding me? do you hate us or yourselves?

Cmon @americanprogress.bsky.social. Have to agree. The negatives about her poor track record are widely reported. And competence? CAP disappeared into irrelevancy, going from a dynamic, collaborative, youthful group of researchers and activists into a showcase for her.
