I’m sorry, folks: there ain’t nothing going on that can justify a front-page story.  The closest I can come to it is the news that the preliminary estimate of the economy’s 1Q growth was only 2.5%, and even then most of the reporting seems fixated on blaming the slowdown on the $85 billion dollars cut from the budget this year (despite the fact that the cuts first took effect in March, and haven’t actually made much of a practical difference at all yet).

But, heck, discuss that.  Open thread.
