Out today: new Carnegie/CivicPulse survey findings on polarization in the U.S. 91 percent of local officials say polarization is negatively affecting the country, up from 89 percent in September 2025. In a sharp increase, 41 percent say that polarization is negatively affecting their own communities, up from 30 to 31 percent in previous surveys.

"The direct economic shock of the war on African countries is real but uneven," says @LandrySigne. "The larger and perhaps longer-lasting risk is that the war serves as a strategic distraction from engaging with the African continent at a critical moment."brook.gs/4zOQxAT

A critical minerals or infrastructure deal that may be valuable to the U.S. from a strategic view is the same project that countries are pitching to us from a development perspective. There’s a natural alignment, says @DFCgov’s Caroline Vik. #USAfricaPriorities
