From the recent experience in Poland and today's Hungary and Russia, when the autocrats take power, the government's statistics cannot and should not be trusted. Trump and Elon are already in that zone, so keep in mind that economic data especially will be manipulated to their aims.

Just heard an interview on @npr.org with the woman who refused her pardon for her role in J6. It’s fantastic. “I broke the law that day. I’m not a victim; I’m a volunteer.” I’ll post the interview when it’s available for streaming. Great job, @arishapiro.bsky.social
