Statement from the largest economics association about the BLS firing As context: AEA approximately never makes such public statements This is a big deal

August 1, 2025
AMERICAN ECONOMIC ASSOCIATION
Committee on Economic Statistics and Committee on Government Relations

Statement from the American Economic Association on the
Dismissal of the BLS Commissioner

Leaders of the American Economic Association express their grave concern over the dismissal of the Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) earlier today.
The independence of the federal statistical agencies is essential to the proper functioning of a modern economy. Accurate, timely, and impartial statistics are the foundation upon which households, businesses, and policymakers make critical decisions. Undermining the independence or credibility of these agencies threatens the integrity of the information that markets, institutions, and the public rely on every day.
Measuring the vast and dynamic U.S. economy in real time is inherently challenging. It is standard practice for statistical estimates to be revised as more complete and higher-quality data become available. These revisions reflect the commitment of statistical agencies to accuracy, transparency, and methodological rigor-not failure or bias.
The BLS has long had a well-deserved reputation for professional excellence and nonpartisan integrity.
Safeguarding this tradition is vital for the continued health of the U.S. economy and public trust in our institutions.
We call upon elected officials to respect and preserve the independence of the nation's statistical infrastructure.

Lawrence Katz
President, American Economic Association
Katharine Abraham
President-Elect, American Economic Association

Chair, American Economic Association Committee on Economic Statistics

Wouldn’t it be interesting if Florida’s official state tourism agency found out exactly what people thought about their brand new concentration camp? (I made a thing - feel free to copy and share) [ @hcrichardson.bsky.social , you just asked in your video to be tagged in any new memes, right? ]

A vintage style Florida postcard that reads

“Visit FLORIDA
The Concentration Camp State”

…with a sunset view of a beach and palm trees in the background.

In 1930s-50s style, the capital letters of FLORIDA are filled with an illustration, but it’s a photograph of bunk beds surrounded by chain link cages at the horribly named Alligator Alcatraz concentration camp.

The legend at the bottom says

Deploying CA National Guard to LA protests without the Governor's request is an abuse of power and attack on our constitutional rights. So is threatening to send US Marines against civilians. We condemn this order from the Trump Administration and demand it be rescinded immediately. #50501vets

50501 Veterans opposes in the strongest terms and without exception the White House directive to the Departments of Defense and Homeland Security, as well as the Attorney General, authorizing the deployment of the National Guard to attack Americans peacefully exercising their 1st Amendment rights in Los Angeles, and anywhere in our country.
This unprecedented move obliterates the line between military and civilian roles under both the U.S. Constitution and the laws of the U.S. Code – a line that should never be crossed. It is a declaration of war on the American People, by its own government.
50501 Veterans calls on:
President Trump to rescind the order, stand -down the National Guard, retreat from our streets, and promise to never again attack the American people.
-The U.S. Congress to immediately enter into Emergency Session to take swift action to ensure the President and Cabinet abides by the Constitution and the existing applicable laws under U.S. Code, including the Posse Comitatus Act.
-The Judicial Branch – at every level, including the Supreme Court – to immediately rule in favor of Constitutional challenges brought against this blatantly illegal attempt to suppress the 1st Amendment rights of the American People.
We swore an oath to our country to support and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. We will not be complicit in eviscerating the Constitution. We did not swear that oath – which never expires – to sit idly by while a tyrant deploys our military on our own soil to suppress and silence the voices of the American People. Our nation was founded in 1776 based on the very idea that no tyrant should be allowed to do so.
50501 Veterans will not be silent. That oath never expires. We will not stand down.
50501 Veterans will continue to speak out against this move to usurp the U.S. Constitution and Federal laws, and also to provide guidance, resources and support to our Active Duty, Reserve and National Guard service members o…
