Trump has NOT installed a "toady" as head of BLS. He nominated a terrible nominee who they never even began the confirmation process on. Yesterday, Trump withdrew his nomination. (https://www.cnn.com/2025/09/30/politics/ej-antoni-nomination-withdrawn-bls) BLS HAS NOT been corrupted. I already responded to you about this before which you either didn't read or ignored but it is 100% truth. One final time:

BLS, despite being an agency of about 2300 employees, has exactly 1 political appointee - the BLS Commissioner. That position is currently vacant while Trump's nominee awaits Senate confirmation (at this point, there isn't even a nominee). In the meantime, there is an acting BLS Commissioner (Bill Wiatrowski) who is a lifelong civil servant for BLS who is not now nor has he ever been a political appointee . He has served as acting Commissioner multiple times under both Republicans and Democrats. I know Bill. He is a good honest man. As long as he is the Acting Commissioner, I can guarantee you that the BLS data remain honest. The rest of BLS 2300 employees are career civil servants who care deeply about the accuracy and honesty of the data they produce. I know many of these people personally. It's absolutely disgusting that you smear them as corrupt when not only do you not know them, you don't even have a clue what they actually do. Your comments are beyond offensive.

BLS has NOT stopped releasing timely reports. PLEASE STOP! You are only succeeding in displaying your complete ignorance about BLS. I'll say again. PLEASE STOP! I worked directly with BLS for over 30 years. I know what I am talking about. You don't. You're way out of your league.
