ABA appreciates @USTreasury @SecScottBessent’s strong commitment to financial education. On #TeachChildrenToSave Day, we join the Secretary in recognizing banker volunteers across the country empowering young people with the skills they need to build strong financial futures.
In commemoration of Financial Literacy Month, I was honored to address students around the country as part of “Teach Children to Save Day”—a day dedicated to empowering young people with the skills they need to build strong financial futures.
@USTreasury is pleased to be partnering with @ABABankers to build stronger individuals, families, and communities one savings lesson at a time. I’d like to thank all the bankers, teachers, parents, and students around the country who participate in the program and help further this important initiative.
Appreciate the Secretary’s strong support for @ABABankers Foundation’s #TeachChildrentoSave program. TCTS allows bank employee volunteers across the country to share financial education with K-8 students in their community. Learn more: aba.com/about-us/aba-foundat…

Some personal news today. And it is not good. I was informed yesterday that I am being laid off at @CBSNews. My last official day is tomorrow. Obviously I am greatly disappointed. I have been with CBS News for nearly 25 years. It has been my dream job.

We are praying for all the bankers in Mississippi and everyone affected by last night's deadly tornado. At least two @BAnguilla employees were injured and some lost homes. ABA wishes our best to Bank of Anguilla CEO and ABA Board member @acoyanderson. We are here for you.

Today we mourn the passing of former Secretary of Defense Ash Carter and celebrate a leader who left America—and the world—safer through his lifetime of service. Michelle and I extend our heartfelt sympathies to Ash’s wife, children, and all those who loved him.
ALT Graphic statement by President Obama on the passing of former Secretary of Defense Ash Carter.
Still processing the sudden passing of my old boss Ash Carter. Sec. Carter was a friend, mentor and patriot whose true impact on US national security is hard to measure. It was an honor to serve him as his spokesman. Today I am thinking of Stephanie, Ava, Will & #TeamCarter

I am humbled to have been selected by @SecDef Austin to serve as the @DeptofDefense Press Secretary and am grateful for the opportunity to serve our military and our nation in this role.
I'm very pleased to have Brig. Gen. Patrick Ryder start as our new @pentagonpressec today. Pat and I have known each for other a long time, and I know he’ll do a fantastic job working with our team and communicating on behalf of the @deptofdefense.
So @Delta why did you pull us off the last flight from ATL to DC for an unidentified “security”threat for an hour and then put us back on the plane just long enough for the crew to time out. Now we are unable to exit the plane because there is no one at the ramp. Save us.
This piece is worth a read, and a good indication that the book will be as well.
The Fed averted a financial meltdown in March 2020.
“Nobody in the world has a plan," said Jay Powell. "And in hindsight, the worry was, ‘What if we can’t really fully open the economy?'"

I was on a flight to Frankfurt last week forced to land in Gander after a passenger suffered a medical emergency. You could just tell that the local paramedics and cops who showed up were good people. Glad Gander was an option.
