Justin is far too generous. The only reason the position is open is a huge Trump lie that the Republicans are apparently all cool with: that McEntarfar cooked the data.
"The one thing we need in a BLS commissioner is a commitment to truth. This guy’s got no commitment to it."

From CLASP: Child Tax Credit changes could drop 4.5 mill. children; Medicaid could see $715 billion in cuts, with 13.7 mill. losing health insurance; SNAP cut of ~$300 bill., largest in its history, leaving 11 mill. with less food assistance or none. And see this: www.nytimes.com/2025/05/22/o...

Enough. We demand rapid, safe, and unimpeded access to starving civilians in Gaza.

We have a plan. We have thousands of trucks of food at the border. Let us in. Let us work.

If you’re connected with NOAA’s GLERL, or other Great Lakes teams affected by federal cuts + shifts, I’d love to hear from you.

I’m a ProPublica reporter in Michigan with a longtime interest in water.

NOAA's #GreatLakes Environmental Research Lab will be taking an "indefinite hiatus" from communications due to staff cuts. GLERL communicates critical weekly updates about the extent of harmful algal blooms in Lake Erie - like the one that left my hometown of Toledo without drinking water in 2014

Thanks to my colleague and friend, @donmoyn.bsky.social, for continually pushing the facts in the midst of the hype: Civilian govt. employees represent ~1.5% of the population and less than 7% of total govt spending. See more here: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Trump’s war on public employees is bad for all of us.
