Juneteenth! Please do NOT say it’s when the enslaved in Texas “learned they were free.” They transmitted information efficiently. They knew. If anything, it’s when it became clear how persistent slavery would be. A Juneteenth story about Custer, Texas, and the murder of a 9-year-old girl. 1/10

We have *never* before seen consumer sentiment this low.
Line chart titled "Consumer Sentiment just fell to a (new) all-time low" showing the University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index from 1952 to May 2026. The index plummeted to 44.8 in May 2026, the lowest reading in the survey's 74-year history, falling sharply from 74.0 in December 2024. This marks three consecutive months of decline and drops below all previous crisis lows, including the June 2022 inflation surge low of 50.0 and the April 2020 pandemic low of 71.8, signaling an unprecedented collapse in consumer confidence.

Kind of ironic that McAdams was even able to serve one term. He's fortunate Mia Love was willing to not be the same sychophant as most Utah Republicans (Romeney excluded) in calling out the bigotry of Donald Trump.

Veiled messages in conference talks rather than direct statements create problems. I know of multiple members who interpreted President Oaks talk about loving your enemies to mean that despite their disagreeing with the actions of Trump and his sycophants, members needed to acept and forgive them.

To me, McAdams seems to be campaining that he will do things within the status quo "to get results", but simply getting results is how we have arrived at this chaotic mess.
