UPDATE: On July 24, @RepPressley asked if @uscensusbureau Director Steven Dillingham could confirm that citizenship data collected pursuant to President Trump's recent executive order will not be used in the bureau's apportionment count. Today, bureau replied, per @LinaFuego👇
@RepPressley @uscensusbureau @LinaFuego 2. Here's video of the exchange between @RepPressley & @uscensusbureau's Steven Dillingham during July 24 House @OversightDems subcommittee hearing -- when Dillingham agreed to provide a written response within 10 days (it's been 16 days since hearing)👇
@RepPressley @uscensusbureau @LinaFuego @OversightDems 3. The "ongoing litigation" is this lawsuit filed by Alabama, which is challenging inclusion of unauthorized immigrants among “whole number of persons” from #2020Census used to divide up congressional seats, Electoral College votes among states👇

SCOOP: @uscensusbureau is removing a #CitizenshipQuestion it was planning to include on #2020Census for American Samoa, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands & US Virgin Islands -- U.S. territories that use a different form than one used in states & Puerto Rico👇
npr.org/2019/08/09/749…
@uscensusbureau 2. After this story was published, the Census Bureau revealed that it is removing the #CitizenshipQuestion it was originally planning to include on next year's island-area census forms (I've deleted earlier tweet that said those forms include the Q)👇
npr.org/2019/08/09/743…
@uscensusbureau 3. Asked why change was made, @uscensusbureau said: "No citizenship question is to be included on the 2020 Census, this includes the Island Area censuses too." More from bureau on no #CitizenshipQuestion for American Samoa, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands & US Virgin Islands👇

THREAD: You won't see a #CitizenshipQuestion on the #2020Census, but there are *other* @uscensusbureau forms that ask whether a person is a U.S. citizen. That’s caused a lot of confusion. Let me walk you through some of those other citizenship questions👇
npr.org/2019/08/09/743…
2. These surveys predate Trump admin’s failed attempt to add a #CitizenshipQuestion to the U.S. census, which, by the way, has never *directly* asked for the U.S. citizenship status of every person living in every household in the country👇
npr.org/2019/05/22/719…
3. Unlike the census, these @uscensusbureau surveys collect responses to a citizenship question from a *sample* of households & don’t impact how congressional seats & Electoral College votes are divided up among the states.

Starting now: House Oversight will be voting today on a resolution to hold AG Bill Barr and Commerce Sec. Wilbur Ross in contempt for not turning over subpoenaed docs re: the census citizenship question and not making a DOJ official available to testify: docs.house.gov/meetings/GO/GO…
CSPAN is streaming the hearing here: c-span.org/video/?461640-…
This isn't the last word - assuming the committee approves the resolution, it would then go to the full House for a final contempt vote. The House yesterday also passed a resolution that empowers committee chairs to go to court to enforce subpoenas, see: govinfo.gov/content/pkg/BI…

I add Q drops that match the deltas (time between tweets) and timestamps on President Trump’s Tweets as a way to re_read drops and to see if they are deliberate on POTUS part, possibly pointing to a specific drop. Sometimes they seem to be!

Barr-Huber Meeting
On March 7, Barr had a notable meeting with Attorney John Huber of #Utah, who had been appointed as vice chair of the AG’s Advisory Committee by former AG @JeffSessions to investigate “all the allegations that the House Judiciary Committee members sent to us.”
Sessions wrote:
“Mr. Huber is conducting his work… in cooperation with the Inspector General. The additional matters raised… fall within the scope of his existing mandate, and I am confident that Mr. Huber’s review will include a full, complete, and objective evaluation…”
