We swim in a sea of data … and the sea level is rising rapidly.

I've been in the ACS sample. It takes some time to complete. Here's the census-test version - will be very frustration:

Your session will expire after 15 minutes of inactivity. If you leave the questionnaire and return later, you will have to start over.

Very flawed: https://t.co/wIYaBY076w
English only | Web-only | Uses ACS questionnaire.

@umichsoftball Stat link isn’t working; didn’t work last weekend either. Followed the Badgers site.

[Lisa Neidert @MsDrData]

@RyanTheGentry @randal_olson @FiveThirtyEight App already shows this, e.g. Hazel.

Statement by the previous BLA Commissioner - Trump appointee.

[William Beach @BeachWW453]

The totally groundless firing of Dr. Erika McEntarfer, my successor as Commissioner of Labor Statistics at BLS, sets a dangerous precedent and undermines the statistical mission of the Bureau. For a full statement opposing this move, read: https://t.co/cbQSs51iIW

Because it is a 5-year Senate -confirmed position. Biden started his term with the Trump appointee.

[Laura Loomer @LauraLoomer]

Why are there still Biden appointees in the Trump admin?

Vetting Crisis!

Great job by President Trump who just announced he is firing Biden holdover Erika McEntarfer, the Commissioner of Labor Statistics.

Every single Biden holdover must be FIRED.

Pesky facts

[Lisa Neidert @MsDrData]

How can this be true?

[Lisa Neidert @MsDrData]

I think to be transparent @DOGE should have a retractions link that shows the contracts they’ve withdrawn from their site - likewise a changes link that says “oops that 8b contract was 8m.

There are experts out there that could help them with their metadata.

[Sara Spector @Miriam2626]

Elon Musk claims DOGE saved the country 50 million dollars by canceling a contract that ended in 2005 that cost 144k! 🤷🏻‍♀️👇

The Census Bureau already uses USPS to deliver the census questionnaires.

The expensive part of the census is non-response-follow-up (NRFU) where temporary census employees go door to door getting responses from those who didn’t return their questionnaires.

[George @BehizyTweets]

THIS IS GENIUS! Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick just announced plans to use the Postal Service to conduct the Census instead of wasting billions.

USPS workers will also replace 20,000 Social Security workers.

"We spend $40 billion every 10 years doing the census. And that means we hire 625,000 people. And they go, and they rent cars and gas, and you pay them food... They go to every household and count the people."

"What department do we already have that already employs 625,000 people? It's got cars, already has gas, and goes to every household. [Answer: USPS]."

"They can go to your house when you have a baby and give you the form for Social Security. And the 20,000 Social Security officers that we have, we just don't need them. We actually can do real customer service."

"Let's use the assets of the government to make us better and save us money."

IT'S SO GENIUS!

Sad that he is so I’ll- informed.

Politico Pro subscriptions are not the same as Politico.

Trump & Wilbur Ross had something to do with this.

It's not a conspiracy theory when the U.S. Census Bureau admits on its own that they botched the last census.

My analysis suggests that at least 16 Electoral Votes and 15 U.S. House seats were shifted to the Democrats now that we have preliminary results from the 2024 Election.

Trump should have won the EC 320 to 218 and been joined in Washington by a 236-202 majority, minimum.

Trevor is correct. My TX SSN makes me an outlier in MI. But, if #DOGE follows through with Vivek’s nonsense, I’m safe.

[Dr. Trevon D Logan @TrevonDLogan]

The first 3 digits of your SSN are a regional code. So if you do *anything* with the first number of an SSN you are not doing anything "stochastic," you're picking people by where they were born. These people have no idea how SSN works, they're just talking nonsense.

[Lisa Neidert @MsDrData]

Try it without DC.

[Simon Kuestenmacher @simongerman600]

Remarkable. Higher birthrate = Higher Republican votes. Generous pro-family policies should be on the Democratic agenda from now on.

[Lisa Neidert @MsDrData]

This can be manipulated by folks who have $$ to burn - and might be more impactful than paying for expensive ads.
