I've gotten a flurry of requests to access my slides on "Models, Measurement, and Language in Economics" (presumably thanks to the great new year's reading list from @rohitlamba.bsky.social). The file is publicly available via my web page, but here is the link: www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/ntgkb...

Wishing courage and good luck to the folks at BLS. I know you will continue to make honest statistics, including revisions. I hope you get to publish honest numbers despite intimidation from the political side.

This is an attack on democracy itself.
No Democratic or Republican politician can be allowed to suppress the most basic facts that the reveal real-world effects of policy.
Facts are the only basis for accountability, and thus a firebreak against dictatorship.

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

I force myself to get through Bret Stephens' columns to get some sense of another perspective, and his defense of his months of "I can't vote for Biden or Harris" is pathetic. But worth reading, maybe especially for those looking for signs of decency from the right.
