Conference Board measure of consumer confidence plummeted to weakest level in four years.
The bigger concern is an almost-10 point drop in consumer expectations, which leaves it at a 12-year low. That's now well below threshold that usually signals a recession ahead.

Many folks in this photo were part of 18F until the end. We are the faces of this movement.
Really metered my posting about work, but here's a far more recent pic of the last @team18f.bsky.social IRL from September 2023 in DC. This never made the blog, but was a great time.
I was getting bugged only seeing pre-2016 photos of the team & wanted to amplify more of the current faces.

We can agree that it's shameful if it comes to fruition. I dont think there is any chance it does. I don't understand why people don't believe Zelensky is as good a negotiator as Mexico or Canada. He knows you give Trump the PR win and move on
Saw your earlier post Mark, and under any other circumstances I might agree with you —in principle. But this entire resource grab is being conducted under duress, and for that, I can’t in any way support my government’s conduct. In fact, I’m ashamed by it.

It will take years and possibly decades to build infrastructure anywhere in Ukraine to be able to mine these minerals.
Then, the biggest refiner is China.
It will take a decade for the first $
If Zelensky gets what he wants, who benefits the most ?

Trump's been purging and intimidating USAID employees.
Now there’s a rumor he'll dissolve USAID as an independent agency.
It was created by JFK and established in law to further our national security and spread hope.
This'd be illegal and against our national interests.

I oversaw global health programs at @USAID.
They reached 100s of millions of people, added 6 extra years to the lifespan of children in partner countries, and were eradicating health threats worldwide.
What insanity and cruelty to break that.
