Hawkish Fed statement. Nod to trade's impact on growth data but notes that "economic activity has continued to expand at a solid pace". Unemployment has stabilized and labor markets "remain solid". Uncertainty "has increased further". Turbulence ahead - but no rush to cut. #fed #fomc #datumresearch

@steveliesman.bsky.social can you convince Joe to stop talking over your guests? He kept interrupting Hammack when she was making salient points in order to interject with his opinions. He's not a Fed expert - no one cares what he thinks about the FOMC.

The Fed is fighting inflation first:
“Our obligation is to keep longer-term inflation expectations well anchored and to make certain that a one-time increase in the price level does not become an ongoing inflation problem.”

You can vehemently disagree with surveillance and collection practices and demand better, but the NSA and Cyber Command are unquestionably critical to our national security and wellbeing. Firing the head of both, a decorated 4-star general, without cause or explanation is wildly irresponsible.

All surveillance tech should have a log showing who used it, when it was used, what the search parameters were, & why they used it so others can come back "and verify the person wasn’t using it to stalk their ex-wife,” EFF’s @maassive.bsky.social told @texasobserver.org.
Texas’ AI-Powered Surveillance Arsenal Has Ballooned. Proposed Laws Provide Few Guardrails.
Operation Lone Star has turbocharged DPS’ surveillance capabilities. Lawmakers say they want to prevent Texas from becoming a police state but have filed only modest legislation to regulate use of AI.

Just a reminder that Elon Musk is overseeing broad implementation of AI across government systems and that you’re reading this right now on one of the few social networks left not run by a US defense contractor or a company voluntarily providing data to an intelligence service.
For context, X struggled after Musk took over, but its fortunes improved dramatically after US President Donald Trump won reelection.
Now it will be become part of Musk's AI startup xAI.

Trump administration lawyers have determined that an 18th-century wartime law the president has invoked to deport suspected members of a Venezuelan gang allows federal agents to enter homes without a warrant, according to people familiar with internal discussions. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/20/u...
Administration Officials Believe Order Lets Immigration Agents Enter Homes Without Warrants
It remains unclear whether the Trump administration will apply the law in this way. But such an interpretation, experts say, would infringe on basic civil liberties.

Federal Reserve holds as expected.
“Uncertainty around the economic outlook has increased”.
Despite marking down growth forecasts and conveying greater downside risks, unchanged medians for the Fed Funds path masked a pullback in anticipated easing given higher expected inflation.
