Low- and middle-income countries are straddled with crippling public debt, hamstringing efforts to combat the climate crisis. At this week's IMF Spring Meetings, CEPR is calling attention to this issue. Ivana Vasic Lalovic breaks it down for this week's episode of "From D.C. Across the Americas."

Congress just reintroduced the Healthy Families Act—7 days of paid sick leave for private sector workers. Wild that in 2026 this is still a fight. Massive thanks to @delauro.house.gov & @sanders.senate.gov  for leading the charge alongside 165+ congressional members. Working people deserve better.

"Winning" on affordability means raising wages, putting more money in everyday people's pockets, ending profit-driven healthcare, ending unjust wars, and ceasing policies that cater to the interests the ultra-rich.

Fossil fuels and deforestation are driving climate change. But clean energy investment, stronger pollution rules, and zero-deforestation commitments across both public and private sectors will make the difference. More from @mattsedlar.bsky.social: https://bit.ly/4nXTbP8

"The challenges we face today, from drug trafficking to mass deportations to mass migration to climate change, cannot be solved through domination and military intervention. They require real partnerships based on mutual respect and mutual collaboration." -  @velazquez.house.gov
