🇺🇸 **Trump’s Baseless ‘Manipulated’ Data Claim In Firing BLS Chief Erika McEntarfer Follows Long History**

"_Economists from across the ideological spectrum have consistently told us that the jobs calculations are free from political meddling; civil servants compiled them using the same methods and schedule for decades_"

@politifactTrump’s baseless ‘manipulated’ data claim in BLS firingPresident Donald Trump fired the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, saying a negative job report shows she is politically biased against him. Economists say data independent of political pressure is a U.S. hallmark and crucial for many metrics.

🆕 blog! “What is the "House of Commons Shield" Award?”

While spelunking through the caverns of Wikipedia, I came across a biography which contained this curious claim:

She was the youngest and first woman to receive a British House of Commons Shield.

A website to show replies to every celebrity grub would put this all in perspective. Don't post on their accounts. They're too vain to realise criticism is equally a powerful message. Post on a website featuring critical responses to celeb idiots with pathological vanity.

In disclosing the reports, #Trump & his team are proclaiming that President #Obama & his team torqued the intelligence analysis process to deliberately discredit Trump’s election.

The admin has coupled that case w/ overheated & attention-grabbing claims. Trump has accused Obama of #treason, & his top ofcls have made #criminal referrals about #NationalSecurity ofcls under Obama—all as the admin is trying to distract supporters angry about the #JeffreyEpstein files.

The #Trump admin in recent weeks has released a series of reports intended to undermine the conclusion reached by intelligence agencies before Trump’s first term that #Russia had favored his candidacy in 2016 & sought to improve his chances of winning.

That assessment, an unclassified version of which was made public in Jan 2017, has long infuriated Trump.

New Reports on Russian Interference Don’t Show What #Trump Says They Do
[ya don’t say🙄?]

A January 2017 assessment said that President Vladimir #Putin of #Russia had ordered a multifaceted information operation targeting the US #2016election.

The admin’s claims are overblown, but newly declassified information provides some messy details about a Jan 2017 #intelligence assessment of Moscow’s #ElectionInterference.

The CIA's "lessons-learned" review of the analytic procedure behind the 2017 assessment identified several recommendations for stricter compliance with #CIA standards, but ultimately said that the actual conclusions made in that assessment were "defensible."

Continued thread

#TulsiGabbard argues that these conclusions are hypocritical & poke holes – if not directly contradict – the intelligence community's 2017 assessment that Russian attempted to influence the election.

But #Obama officials NEVER claimed that Russian hackers had successfully changed votes or hacked election infrastructure at scale.
