@thelastmileusaid.bsky.social the only thing we would add to your excellent rebuttal is this: Has @nytimes.com completely forgotten about the role of Congress? Is it no longer relevant to ask why one DOGE boy's views on aid are now more powerful than 535 Congresspeople?

Lemme just say if President Bernie Sanders had unilaterally imposed, by executive fiat, hundreds of billions of new taxes, personally browbeat executives about job cuts and investments and then fired the head of BLS, the Chamber of Commerce and the business orgs would not be sitting idly by.

It's also a slap in the face to all of the dedicated feds who work across administrations to produce accurate data without political interference.
Before they remove her page, here is Dr. Erika McEntarfer's BLS bio page. She's a 20-year career official PhD labor economist.
01.08.2025 19:46 β π 1513 π 567 π¬ 31 π 19I was just informed that our Countryβs βJobs Numbersβ are being produced by a Biden Appointee, Dr. Erika McEntarfer, the Commissioner of Labor Statistics, who faked the Jobs Numbers before the Election to try and boost Kamalaβs chances of Victory. This is the same Bureau of Labor Statistics that overstated the Jobs Growth in March 2024 by approximately 818,000 and, then again, right before the 2024 Presidential Election, in August and September, by 112,000. These were Records β No one can be that wrong? We need accurate Jobs Numbers. I have directed my Team to fire this Biden Political Appointee, IMMEDIATELY. She will be replaced with someone much more competent and qualified. Important numbers like this must be fair and accurate, they canβt be manipulated for political purposes. McEntarfer said there were only 73,000 Jobs added (a shock!) but, more importantly, that a major mistake was made by them, 258,000 Jobs downward, in the prior two months. Similar things happened in the first part of the year, always to the negative. The Economy is BOOMING under βTRUMPβ despite a Fed that also plays games, this time with Interest Rates, where they lowered them twice, and substantially, just before the Presidential Election, I assume in the hopes of getting βKamalaβ elected β How did that work out? Jerome βToo Lateβ Powell should also be put βout to pasture.β Thank you for your attention to this matter!
Unquestionably the most dangerous and corrupt attack on the independence of US economic data in American history. Trump is firing the head of the BLS, a longtime civil servant confirmed 86-8 by the Senate, simply because the job numbers came in below his expectations today

Where is our NIH director as US science collapses? He is presiding over the Great Science Collapse of 2025.
He could be leading the fight. He is choosing not to because he is complicit: he is a leader of the attacks.
