Confirmed! Thank you everyone for your support these last months—I’m so grateful for this bipartisan vote of confidence from the Senate, and so energized to be joining the incredible @usaid team to get big things done. The Agency’s work around the world has never been more vital.
A few pics from yesterday’s @usaid confirmation hearing. The usual toggle between getting a morale boost from RÃan, being questioned on national security & development, and tucking in Declan’s shirt!

I was deep into Day 1 at @USAID (still doing many meetings from home), when a lovely little girl decided to submit a paper towel inquiry regarding her iPad screen time use: Can I use my hour? Answer: _____________
Backstage after @chicagoideas tonight, saying hello to @hillaryclinton. She’s promoting (with Chelsea) their hugely inspiring #thebookofgutsywomen. Moved to introduce my 10-yo son to the gutsiest of them all.
Given the unwitting influence of @cherylstrayed on this book and on me, I am so touched by this. Also: imagine going to buy a book @powellsbooks and running into Cheryl & @lauradern. Whoa!
Very thankful to @deystreet @harpercollins for helping connect me with book clubs that are reading The Education of an Idealist. If you’re interested in having me call into your book club to join your discussion, just follow these steps by Friday, March 20. Excited to connect in person with more readers in the coming months! #educationofanidealist
The students I met today at @schoolforethics give me so much hope for the future. Actually, we need their leadership and action, RIGHT NOW.
Great to be with so many committed, engaged young people — idealists, even — at @theoxfordunion last night

Day One in Ireland. The energy & spirit of everyone coming out to THE EDUCATION OF AN IDEALIST events (like these young Irish diplomats) is so special to this girl from Dublin.

And the prize for the most conscientious reader goes to the wonderful Matt Leigh in Bath, England. @toppingsbath
Definitely hadn’t expected to meet people wearing T-shirts like this on tour for #theeducationofanidealist. Thank you, #universityofidaho #borahsymposium !
Two great conversations today: with @itsalexwags (over a pint) for @sho_thecircus and @aminatou for the @callyrgf podcast.

Yes this is actually a politely eaten cake. @marnelevine & @pdeutch pulled out ALL the stops in supporting #theeducationofanidealist in #menlopark yesterday. One of the key themes of the book is #LeanOn and Marne&Phil live the idea daily. #grateful
Starting the morning in London at the BBC for @bbcwomanshour and @bbcworldservice
Watching @nationals game with my son backstage @chicagoideas
Wonderful to be with @cuyahogalib, The City Club of Cleveland, dream moderator / author extraordinaire @schultz_connie, and a packed house in Cleveland to talk about THE EDUCATION OF AN IDEALIST. And thank you to my son for hanging out during the signing and keeping me updated on @nationals score.
