@uscensusbureau @USGAO @OversightDems @GOPoversight @RepRaskin 4. @uscensusbureau Dir. Steven Dillingham says he expects to lose a bet he made with Baltimore @mayorbcyoung involving @NatlAquarium: "If the city's response rate matches or exceeds the state average, I would love to jump into the seal pool to celebrate the city's success."
@uscensusbureau @USGAO @OversightDems @GOPoversight @RepRaskin @mayorbcyoung @NatlAquarium 5. @USGAO is reviewing @uscensusbureau's new life-cycle cost estimate for #2020Census, released on July 15, to see if it meets GAO's recommendations, according to new report for House @OversightDems hearing👇

@uscensusbureau @USGAO @OversightDems @GOPoversight @RepRaskin @mayorbcyoung @NatlAquarium 6. @uscensusbureau Director Steven Dillingham says "career staff at the Census Bureau felt it was very important that we would know the operational impact" of #CitizenshipQuestion & he did not order bureau to conduct ongoing test of public reaction👇

@uscensusbureau @USGAO @OversightDems @GOPoversight @RepRaskin @mayorbcyoung @NatlAquarium 7. NEW: More than 200,000 households have responded to 2019 Census Test gauging public reaction to a #CitizenshipQuestion, @uscensusbureau Director Steven Dillingham says. Households in hard-to-count areas are responding "at a much less rate than other areas," Dillingham adds.
@uscensusbureau @USGAO @OversightDems @GOPoversight @RepRaskin @mayorbcyoung @NatlAquarium 8. @RepFredKeller grilled @uscensusbureau Director Steven Dillingham over the first #2020Census printing contract that @USGPO officials botched, raising concerns about how the bureau is handling contracting for IT systems.

My earlier scoop on contract👇

NEW: Asked by Rep. @AyannaPressley if he can confirm citizenship data collected via President Trump's executive order will not be used in apportionment count, @uscensusbureau Director Steven Dillingham said, "Let me get back to you on that" bc he needs to know the mechanics.
@uscensusbureau @USGAO @OversightDems @GOPoversight @RepRaskin @mayorbcyoung @NatlAquarium @RepFredKeller @USGPO @LacyClayMO1 @DWStweets @RepLawrence @SenJackReed @AyannaPressley 12. @uscensusbureau Director Steven Dillingham said he would provide a written response to @RepPressley within next 10 days about her question asking whether citizenship data will be used in apportionment count.

@uscensusbureau Dir. Steven Dillingham: "Congresswoman, we don't determine the uses of it. We just produce the numbers."
@uscensusbureau @USGAO @OversightDems @GOPoversight @RepRaskin @mayorbcyoung @NatlAquarium @RepFredKeller @USGPO @LacyClayMO1 @DWStweets @RepLawrence @SenJackReed @AyannaPressley @RepPressley @SecretaryRoss 18. @RepPressley: "Have you or anyone you know discussed including citizenship data in the redistricting file?"

UPDATE: @uscensusbureau confirms to @RepPressley’s office what it told @OMBPress in July — it’s producing Citizenship Voting Age Population info states may use in redistricting to draw voting districts based on number of eligible voters rather than all residents (via @LinaFuego)
2. ICYMI, here’s what I reported in July👇
3. Not clear why @uscensusbureau Dir. Steven Dillingham was “not quite sure” if citizenship data would be released at census block level when @RepPressley asked during House @OversightDems hearing on July 24, 3 wks after bureau uploaded doc for @OMBPress.

For 200+ years, the U.S. has divided up seats in Congress among the states based on population counts that include both citizens & noncitizens, regardless of immigration status.

I wrote about how the Trump admin is signaling it may want to change that👇
npr.org/2019/08/14/749…
2. Since the first US census in 1790, the Constitution has called for a head count every 10 years of "persons" living in the US to determine number of congressional seats each state gets. The 14th Amendment was ratified to require the counting of the "whole number of persons."👇
3. State of Alabama & @RepMoBrooks are suing @uscensusbureau to stop bureau's longstanding policy of including unauthorized immigrants among "whole number of persons" for apportionment. Alabama @AGSteveMarshall argues unauthorized immigrants are not "persons" under Constitution👇

During today's @uscensusbureau press briefing, I asked if bureau plans to include citizens & noncitizens, including unauthorized immigrants, in 2020 apportionment count. Officials didn't answer my Q until @bgdailynews's Don Sergent graciously followed up👇
@uscensusbureau @bgdailynews 2. @uscensusbureau spokesperson Michael Cook said, "The Census Bureau will fulfill its constitutional mandate to conduct a complete & accurate 2020 census & enumerate all persons living in the U.S." It echoes what bureau told @RepPressley on Friday👇
@uscensusbureau @bgdailynews @RepPressley 3. But @uscensusbureau, I'm still waiting for an answer to this question, which I've emailed to your public information office:

Is the bureau planning to include citizens and noncitizens, including unauthorized immigrants, in the 2020 apportionment count?

💰Tom Barrack - Saudi Nuke Deal

Emails show that Barrack, a close friend of Trump had access to high-level officials in Trump’s Commerce Dept and used this access to share materials that were part of a plan to share nuclear technology with Saudi Arabia
citizensforethics.org/tom-barrack-pi…
Some advocating for this plan stood to make money from it.

The correspondence shows Manafort’s partner Rick Gates was enlisted to help arrange a meeting w/ ComSec Wilbur Ross shortly after these materials were shared, & the meeting was a priority for Ross
citizensforethics.org/tom-barrack-pi…
The House Oversight committee released a report detailing concerns about efforts w/in the WH to provide nuclear tech to Saudi in  2017. Those involved in advocating for the plan–from both inside and outside the govt–apparently stood to make money from it.

#Khashoggi Case Thread: I am going to ‘pin’ this post to use it as an ‘Info Thread’ on the #Khashoggi Case. I am in #Turkey. I’ve been following the case closely and with access to sources & experts here. This is a very ‘sensitive’ criminal case due to ‘Diplomatic Booby Traps’!!!
The Evidence Obtained Outside Cameras will not show any evidence of ‘tempering’ but other than license plates of dozens of diplomatic cars (Many with tinted windows-large trunks) with related time stamp, drivers Info, model/year: Nothing.
#Turkish Intel-Investigative Bodies also have the list of all Diplomatic & Private Saudi & “other significant’ Planes in #Turkey for the period of ‘interest.’ Many of the Target airports have their own security cameras & related evidence.
