One of the things that has kept me up at night. BLS and other routine federal functions are tiny agencies with highly specialized staff that produce hugely important data sets. These agencies can easily be manipulated through dedicated White House, upend countless institutions and key metrics.
I've been warning about this for a while. Sooner than you think U.S. economists may have to go Argentine, cobbling together alternative estimates of inflation, employment and so on because the official data have been corrupted.
Former BLS commissioner Erica Groshen on how the policy change to Schedule F that Trump & #Project2025 advocate would destroy the credibility of the federal statistical system.

About the worst pick imaginable. Patel is a total Trump supplicant and has no qualms about breaking every convention at the FBI to serve Trump’s aims. Buckle up for a very very political FBI.
Donald Trump announces Kash Patel as the next FBI Director. What a disaster.
