Every position on this page is a core issue. TIP candidates support each one without exception.

ECONOMIC SOVEREIGNTY

2KUSA — $2,000 per month for every eligible American 17 and older, funded in phases through a stacked AI royalty, VAT, and stock dilution tax, scaling automatically as AI-driven job loss crosses defined thresholds. No American should ever be desperate enough to surrender their rights for survival.

CLIMATE & JOBS

The TIP Climate and Tourism Corps — mobilizing Americans around environmental restoration, clean energy, and sustainable tourism infrastructure. Real wages. Real career pathways. Equity at the center. A permanent civilian institution, not a program subject to the next election cycle.

CRYPTOCURRENCY & BLOCKCHAIN

TipTriadCoin — the corrected starting line in a crypto economy that ARK Invest projects could reach $28 trillion by 2030. The communities shut out of every previous economic transition get the ground floor this time.

HEALTHCARE

Medicare for All — healthcare as infrastructure, not commodity. No American should choose between their health and their wallet.

EDUCATION

Student loan forgiveness — the debt sold to a generation as the price of admission to an economy now being automated deserves a full accounting.

VETERANS

TIPVets — no veteran loses their home, their benefits, or their dignity. The promise made at enlistment is a debt that does not expire.

PUERTO RICO

Statehood now. Puerto Ricans have been American citizens since 1917. 109 years of citizenship without full American representation is not a compromise. It is a debt.

SUPREME COURT EXPANSION

Expand the Supreme Court to 13 justices — one for each of the 13 federal circuit courts, restoring the correspondence the Court has drifted from. A nine-member court appointed for life should not be able to outlast the will of the country that seats it. TIP joins a growing call among potential 2028 contenders, including former Vice President Kamala Harris, who said in July 2026 that she agrees with calls to expand the Court to 13 justices, to end minority rule on the bench that decides the rights of the majority.

RECLAIMING ROE v. WADE

Roe v. Wade was not overturned by the will of the country — it was overturned 5-4, by justices seated through a decades-long project to capture the bench, not to reflect it. A constitutional right that fifty years of precedent protected should never have hinged on a single vote. TIP’s Supreme Court expansion to 13 justices is the mechanism for correcting that: four new seats appointed to restore a Court that reflects the country it serves, not the donor and dark-money networks that built this one. Reclaiming Roe isn’t a separate fight — it’s the first test of whether an expanded Court works. No American should have fewer rights over their own body than their grandmother had in 1973.

ISRAEL

Every year, the United States sends $3.8 billion in military aid to Israel — not counting supplemental war funding, which runs separately and higher. TIP’s position is simple: that obligation ends. Not redirected to a new program, not reformed, not renegotiated smaller — ended. The money stays home, in the general fund, where the American people it belongs to can decide what it’s for. This isn’t about Israel specifically; it’s about sovereignty. America doesn’t need to borrow against its own future to underwrite anyone else’s military budget while its own infrastructure, veterans, and working families wait in line. End the underwrite. Don’t manage it.

IMMIGRATION, BORDERS & ICE — A Serious Policy, Not a Slogan

The Commitment

TIP supports amnesty and a legal pathway to citizenship for migrants already contributing to American communities. TIP supports secure borders, effective ICE enforcement at ports of entry, and an end to interior sweeps that treat American cities like occupied territory. These positions are not in tension. A serious immigration policy holds all three at once.

Amnesty & Legal Pathway

Deportation-by-attrition and generational legal limbo serve no one — not the migrants, not the communities they live in, not the country. TIP supports a legal pathway to citizenship for migrants already working, raising families, and contributing to American life.

Border Security & ICE

Every sovereign nation has the right — and the obligation — to control who crosses into it. That is the baseline of nations across the world, not a fringe position. TIP supports well-funded, well-staffed, effective enforcement at the border and ports of entry.

TIP’s position on ICE is precise: support for border enforcement, not interior enforcement that sweeps up longtime residents, parents, and workers in neighborhoods, workplaces, and courthouses with no due process. Secure the border. End the raids.

The Demand Side Nobody Talks About

Enforcement alone has never stopped the flow — because enforcement was never the actual driver on the other side of the ledger. Agribusiness helped build the pipeline it now depends on.

The Bracero Program (1917, revived 1942–1964) was created by the U.S. government at the agriculture industry’s request, importing millions of Mexican laborers under contract to fill the very jobs Americans wouldn’t work at the wages offered. When the program ended in 1964 over documented worker mistreatment, the labor demand didn’t end with it — undocumented flows into the same agricultural jobs simply replaced the legal channel. That pattern has held for sixty years.

Today, agribusiness is one of the most powerful lobbies in Washington — in 2017, it spent more on lobbying Congress than the entire defense industry. And every time interior enforcement tightens, the data shows the same response: employers don’t stop hiring low-wage labor, they shift to the H-2A guest-worker program, which has quadrupled since 2015 to over 370,000 jobs. H-2A wages run below the national average, and because a worker’s visa is tied to a single employer, critics — including labor researchers — have compared the arrangement to indentured servitude.

This is why “just deport them” was never a serious policy, on either side of the aisle. Decades of demand-side economics built a labor pipeline that survives every enforcement crackdown by simply changing shape — undocumented, then guest-worker, then undocumented again. You cannot enforce your way out of a system that both parties’ donor classes have profited from maintaining. TIP names the mechanism plainly: secure the border, yes — but stop pretending enforcement alone was ever going to fix what agribusiness demand built.

Sanctuary Cities

TIP does not take a blanket position for or against the “sanctuary city” label. The test isn’t ideology — it’s results. Local law enforcement policy should keep every community safe and willing to report crime, immigrant and citizen alike. Policies that fail that test, sanctuary or otherwise, don’t earn TIP’s support.

TIP also names a cost both parties avoid discussing honestly. New York City’s own Comptroller and Independent Budget Office (IBO) have documented over $12 billion in migrant-response spending from July 2022 through 2025, with the city’s Department of Homeless Services FY2026 budget — roughly $4 billion — now comparable to the entire federal government’s main homelessness grant program nationwide. Resources meant for underserved legal residents — shelter capacity, social services, housing — have in practice been strained by that spending. Supporting a humane, legal pathway for migrants and protecting resources for underserved American citizens are not in conflict. Washington’s failure to fund immigration policy at the federal level is what pits them against each other in cities like New York — not each other.

The Principle

Sovereignty and compassion are not opposites. A nation that cannot secure its border is not sovereign. A nation that terrorizes its own neighborhoods in the name of enforcement is not free. TIP builds the infrastructure for both — because the old parties have offered Americans neither.

2A FOR ALL — THE SOVEREIGNTY PLANK

The Second Amendment was written for every American — not selectively enforced based on race. The Mulford Act of 1967 disarmed the Black Panthers. Gun control in America has always had a racial history. 2A4ALL means equal, race-blind constitutional rights. End stop-and-frisk and ICE racial profiling — the Constitution applies to every body on American soil. An armed citizenry is a check against government tyranny — a principle that applies equally regardless of the color of the citizen exercising it.

NO EXCEPTIONS: FINISH ABOLITION

The 13th Amendment did not fully end slavery. It bans slavery and involuntary servitude “except as a punishment for crime.” Within months of its ratification in 1865, Southern states used that exception to pass Black Codes and vagrancy laws, then leased convicted Black Americans to mines, railroads, and plantations. The exception is still in the Constitution today, allowing states to force incarcerated people to work for pennies an hour or nothing at all. TIP’s position: amend the Constitution to state plainly that neither slavery nor involuntary servitude may be imposed as a punishment for a crime, and remove the exception from every state constitution. The machine will always need bodies until we stop feeding it. No slavery. No exceptions.

Full position: No Exceptions: Finish Abolition

ABOLISH THE FEDERAL DEATH PENALTY

At least 203 Americans have been sentenced to death and later exonerated since 1973. A wrongful prison sentence can be corrected. A wrongful execution cannot. The death penalty has never been applied equally: it falls hardest on Black defendants, on people accused of killing white victims, and on the poor who can’t afford their own lawyer. TIP’s position: Congress ends the federal death penalty by law, in every case, including the worst. Life in prison is still a death sentence. The difference is that the government doesn’t do the killing, and an innocent person can still walk free.

Full position: No Exceptions: Finish Abolition

Housing for All
A home is the starting point, not the prize. TIP will make permanent housing available first to anyone who needs it, with treatment and support funded but never forced. Rent will never be more than a set share of your income, and nothing if you have none. We will end punishing people for being unhoused, build public and permanently affordable homes at the scale of the need, and rebuild HUD with its promises written into law so no future administration can quietly take them back. [Read the full plank.]

Education for All

Core Issues paragraph:
Every child deserves a fair start, and where a child lives should not decide what her school can afford. TIP will set a federal funding floor with extra money for schools serving the poorest children, screen every student for advanced classes instead of waiting for a referral, fund early learning, and put counselors, not police, at the center of school discipline. We will teach children to use AI without letting it do their thinking, and every school that takes public money will show where it goes. [Read the full plank.]

THE UNCONVERTED MAJORITY

Women have outvoted men in every presidential election since 1964. In 2024, 91.3 million women voted, 8.7 million more than men. Yet that majority has never once converted into a political bloc that operates with the leverage it implies. That gap sits inside a bigger one: a crypto market ARK Invest projects could reach $28 trillion by 2030, artificial intelligence that PwC projects could add $15.7 trillion to the global economy by 2030, and an $11 trillion travel economy — three transitions now remaking who owns what, with women positioned to be shut out of the ground floor the same way they were shut out of the last one. Every plank in this platform sits inside that gap: student debt, healthcare, economic sovereignty, a Court that decides what a woman does with her own body. Women’s movements have won real ground since 1920 — organizing, office-holding, precedent — but numbers this large should not still be asking. TIP is built to close the gap between the size of that power and the use of it. 91 million women voters can’t be bought. They also shouldn’t have to keep asking.
