Besides the Census #Scientific Advisory Cmte [#CSAC], the U.S. #Commerce Department last winter killed the Census Advisory Cmte, which advised on the upcoming 2030 #census, & the National Advisory Cmte, which offered insight on how to accurately count & collect #data from #racial, #ethnic & other communities. At the time, #Trump Commerce Secretary #HowardLutnick said the cmtes’ purposes “have been fulfilled.”

Just last week, the #Census Bureau said it “was not able to renew” a contract that maintained a website for an online community of users for its largest survey of American life.

And last month, #Trump instructed the #Commerce Dept to have the Census Bureau start work on a new census that would EXCLUDE #immigrants who are in the US illegally from the head count, which determines political #power & federal #spending.

Since then, #data sets related to #gender, #SexualOrientation, #health, #ClimateChange & #diversity have disappeared from federal websites, & workers & contractors who had been data guardians at statistical agencies either have departed or been forced out by efforts to *shrink* the federal government. Last month, #Trump fired the head of the Bureau of #Labor #Statistics [#BLS] after the agency made downward revisions to the number of #jobs created in the spring.
