Social Security Retirement Trust Fund Will Run Dry In 2032 Unless Congress Acts
Tens of millions of Americans face potential reductions in Social Security and Medicare benefits as annual reports from the programs' trustees project accelerated insolvency for their respective trust funds. The Social Security retirement trust fund is now anticipated to be depleted by late 2032, while Medicare's hospital insurance trust fund is expected to be exhausted by the second quarter of 2033. These revised forecasts, attributed to factors including recent tax policy changes, declining fertility rates, and reduced immigration, underscore an urgent need for congressional action to prevent significant financial shortfalls for beneficiaries.

65% of Washington voters support an “away for the day” ban on mobile phones in all K‑12 public schools, with just 27% opposed
NPI's research finds that most voters are on board with Superintendent Chris Reykdal and Governor Bob Ferguson's plans to propose legislation to require all K-12 public schools to generally prohibit mobile device use during the school day, which experience suggests can reduce distractions and enhance student engagement even if it doesn't spur a big improvement in academic outcomes. 65% of Washington voters support an “away for the day” ban on mobile phones in all K‑12 public schools, with just 27% opposed is a post from NPI's Cascadia Advocate, the journal of the Northwest Progressive Institute.

New Consumer Protection Rule Turns Its Back On Fair Housing As Advocates Sue To Preserve Enforcement
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) has issued a new rule significantly curtailing anti-discrimination efforts, a move described as one of the most consequential shifts in federal fair-lending policy in decades. This action has prompted a federal lawsuit filed by the National Fair Housing Alliance and four other housing organizations in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. The suit challenges the CFPB's decision to end the disparate impact standard and limit special purpose credit programs, which are crucial for expanding credit access for marginalized communities. Plaintiffs assert the bureau failed to justify its departure from decades of settled Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA) implementation and question the Acting Director's rulemaking authority.

64% of Washington voters disapprove of Donald Trump’s job performance, a new record in NPI’s Civic Heartbeat polling
Even more striking, the percentage of voters in the Evergreen State who approve of Trump's job performance fell to 30% in NPI's spring survey of the Washington electorate, which is 4% less than the previous low.
