Speaker 1 (00:06):
Good news for lefties and America. Hellowen, thanks for joining
this breaking news episode of good news for Lefties. I'm
beable for Rocklin your host. Donald Trump has withdrawn the
nomination of EJN. Toni to lead the Bureau of Labor Statistics,
halting a controversial move that raised alarms among labor experts

(00:30):
and democracy advocates. Antony, a Heritage Foundation economist tied to
Project twenty twenty five and backed by Steve Bannon, had
drawn scrutiny for his efforts to cast doubt on the
credibility of the Bureau's data and for his presence near
the Capitol during the January sixth attack. The decision is
a relief to economists and workers' advocates, who warned that

(00:53):
Antoni's vision would politicize one of the most respected statistical
agencies in the world. The Bureau's monthly jobs numbers serve
as a cornerstone for wage agreements, social programs, and public policy,
ensuring families and communities alike have a clear picture of
economic trends. Experts stressed that any disruption or manipulation would

(01:17):
have undermined confidence not just in labor markets, but in
government itself. Antoni had openly suggested suspending monthly employment reports,
a proposal that sparked outrage from labor groups and market
analysts who insisted that withholding information would harm working people.
Most His nomination came on the heels of Trump's baseless

(01:38):
accusations that jobs data had been rigged against him, part
of a wider effort to attack nonpartisan institutions. Ej and
Toni's nomination to lead the Bureau of Labor Statistics was
deeply controversial, not only because of his political affiliations, but
also due to his history on social media, where he
ran an account that posted sexually degrading remarks, targeted LGBTQ

(02:01):
plus individuals with derogatory comments, and spread conspiracy theories for unions,
small businesses, and households across the country. This move, for
the time being, helps keep vital information flowing and shields
the economy from destabilizing gamesmanship. Protecting the integrity of labor
statistics is not just about numbers, but about safeguarding the

(02:23):
power of everyday people to demand fair pay, old leaders accountable,
and build policies rooted in reality rather than conspiracy. That's
it for this Breaking News edition. Of good news for Lefties.
