No, Secretary Lutnick, the independence of federal statistical agencies is not “nonsense.” It’s essential that government data is free from political interference and bias, especially given that the American people’s trust in our government is dwindling.

A little math about that prison camp in Florida. $450 million per year for 3,000 people is $150,000/person per year.
The cost for one person receiving SNAP for one year is $2256, yet they're telling us that's too expensive.

Texas flood exposed America's warped priorities | Will Bunch Newsletter

We'll never know exactly how many Texas flooding deaths could have been avoided if a generation of state leaders and a new regime in Washington had taken the evidence of rapid climate change seriously and planned better for its inevitable disasters. Or if they viewed the banal necessities of public safety infrastructure and scientific research as something that was as important as wasting billions of dollars to fight a pretend "invasion" at the border with Mexico.
