Heather Cox Richardson 10/1/25 MURKOWSKI AND COLLINS FORCE WITHDRAWAL OF NOMINEE The independent ADP report has taken on additional significance since Trump has undermined the U.S. government's Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). In August he fired the commissioner of the BLS Erika McEntarfer, complaining that she had “RIGGED” jobs figures “to make the Republicans, and ME, look bad.” To replace her, he nominated right-wing economist E.J. Antoni, whose scholarship was not nearly as strong as his support for Trump. Then Em Steck and Andrew Kaczynski of CNN uncovered a racist, sexist, and anti-LGBTQ Twitter account of Antoni's. Today Trump withdrew Antoni’s nomination after Republican senators Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska refused to meet with him, suggesting he could not be confirmed.

Sure sounds like #fascism to me
#BureauofLaborStatistics data found that the U.S. added only 22,000 jobs in August, WAY below the 80,000 new jobs economists were expecting.
The disappointing figures arrived even AFTER Trump fired #BLS commissioner #ErikaMcEntarfer, despite claims of rigging

I asked my stats students to evaluate the data revisions to comment on whether or #ErikaMcEntarfer should’ve been let go from BLS in an UpShot-style Op Ed, and it’s some of the clearest editorial writing on the topic and the importance of the data.
Day one of metrics I gave my students an op-ed assignment, where they had to pretend to be a writer for the UpShot and argue whether or not the revisions data justified #ErikaMcEntarfer being fired.
"The Jobs Report Wasn't Rigged. Revisions Are the Point" is an absolute BANGER headline. #EconSky
I gave my an metrics students an op-ed assignment, in which they had to evaluate the firing of #ErikaMcEntarfer from BLS. This is my favorite dataviz so far. I love the bitmap color way and the blocky look, it totally shows that all these distributions are more-or-less the same.
#EconSky
The premise of firing #ErikaMcEntarfer, and by extension the nomination of #EJAntoni, makes no statistical sense —revisions to the jobs numbers during McEntarfer's tenure basically averaged out to zero.

Trump collapses in FULL panic as he lashes out against the head of the #BureauofLaborStatistics, #ErikaMcEntarfer, and fires her after she releases a recent jobs data report, which blows his obvious lies apart and proves the consequences of his actions on the public. youtu.be/cDdEO4E_NNo?...
U.S. President Trump's influence over government data came to the fore last week, when he fired Erika McEntarfer, the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics. But behind the scenes, his administration's actions have left data gaps in everything from HIV stats to how many people work for the […]
Trump doesn’t read
He barely writes
His social feed
Is all he cites
So when real stats
Make him look bad
He fakes the facts
And then gets mad
He fired Erika McE
Tho her #s were true
Now he thinks we’ll trust what we see
From him; I don’t, do you?

Cartoon by Joe Heller. Trump is on a golf course in the rain. A sign on the golf cart says "Fires labor official over bad jobs report." Trump in on his cellphone saying "Fire the weatherman and find me one wo says it's sunny."
When things don't go the way you want them to, just fire the messenger.

In firing the head of the agency that collects labor statistics, Don The Con underscored his tendency to suppress facts he doesn’t like and promote his own version of reality.

I don’t recall—or maybe I just wasn’t clever enough—or maybe it just never occurred to me that I should fudge said numbers on behalf of the current POTUS that perhaps I didn’t like. I suspect there are others across many govt agencies in the very same boat now. #BLS #ErikaMcEntarfer
