NEW: No state redistricting officials asked @uscensusbureau to include citizenship data with #2020Census data for redrawing voting districts, but bureau still plans to release block-level citizenship data in 2021 by same deadline for redistricting data👇
documentcloud.org/documents/6396…
@uscensusbureau 2. At Sept. 6 @copafsK mtg, @uscensusbureau Chief Scientist @john_abowd described the block-level Citizen Voting-Age Population data the bureau plans to release as a "different product" than #2020Census PL 94-171 Redistricting Data File. But same release deadline: March 31, 2021
@uscensusbureau @copafsK @john_abowd 3. Remember: back in July, amidst all of the confusion about the now-blocked citizenship question, @CommerceGov @SecretaryRoss
quietly directed @uscensusbureau to produce Citizenship Voting-Age Population data "that states may use in redistricting"👇
@uscensusbureau @copafsK @john_abowd @CommerceGov @SecretaryRoss 4. Apparently, @SecretaryRoss ordered @uscensusbureau to produce Citizenship Voting-Age Population data at block level even though no "stakeholders" indicated "a need for tabulations of citizenship data" on #2020 Census PL 94-171 Redistricting Data File👇
@uscensusbureau @copafsK @john_abowd @CommerceGov @SecretaryRoss 5. Don't forget: before he died, GOP redistricting strategist Thomas Hofeller concluded that using Citizen Voting-Age Population data when redrawing voting districts could be "advantageous to Republicans and Non-Hispanic Whites"👇

@uscensusbureau @copafsK @john_abowd @CommerceGov @SecretaryRoss 6. President Trump in his July executive order about citizenship data: "I understand that some State officials are interested in such data for districting purposes. This order will assist the Department ... so that it can respond to such requests..."👇
@uscensusbureau @copafsK @john_abowd @CommerceGov @SecretaryRoss 7. UPDATE: Here's my write-up on the Trump administration ordering the @uscensusbureau to produce citizenship data for state redistricting👇

232 years ago today, the framers of the US Constitution met here in Philadelphia to sign a founding document that — before making any mention of voting or a president — says an "actual enumeration shall be made" every 10 years. They were referring to the census👇 #ConstitutionDay
2. At country’s founding, the census was not a head count of every person living in US. Constitution explicitly excluded “Indians not taxed.” Those who were counted weren’t counted equally. Constitution called for counting of enslaved people as 3/5ths “of all other persons”👇
3. After the Civil War, the 14th Amendment was ratified to require the counting of the "whole number of persons," ensuring the rights of formerly enslaved people👇

#REDFLAG: After a setback in the Supreme Court, Trump asks his lawyers if he can DELAY THE CENSUS

The census is constitutionally-mandated to begin in April 2020, under Article I, Section 2.

Trump is asking if he can IGNORE the Constitution b/c he doesn't like a SCOTUS decision.
#RELATED: The Supreme Court ruled against the Trump Administration's proposal to add a citizenship question to the 2020 Census...for now.

It would've led to a severe undercount, which would've rigged elections and resources in favor of white Republicans.
#HUGEWIN: The Trump Administration will begin printing the 2020 Census WITHOUT the citizenship question.

After missing their deadline, some feared Trump may actually try to defy the Constitution and the law.

This is an incredible victory for democracy!

Deputy City Attorney Erin Kuka here. I took over my office’s account today! (Thx, Dennis!)

It’s a big day bc our case re the 2020 census is at the U.S. Supreme Court! I’ve been on the case since day 1, and today I’ll tell you everything you need to know. #Census2020 #SCOTUS
First, what’s happening today? We’re in a coalition that banded together to fight injustice. Barbara Underwood from @NewYorkStateAG and @dale_e_ho from @ACLU are arguing for all of us.
No cameras or phones are allowed in the Supreme Court, but SCOTUS will release a transcript later today—I’ll post as soon as it’s out. #HittingRefreshAllMorning #Patience

(MUELLER REPORT LIVE THREAD) This thread chronicles—in real time—the release of the Mueller Report, with news and analysis from a @Newsweek columnist and @NYTimes bestselling author (Proof of Collusion). Please retweet this thread widely for those you think might benefit from it.
1/ I want to start by offering my @Newsweek column from today (April 17), which sets the stage for what the Thursday (April 18) release of the Mueller Report will and will not be: newsweek.com/william-barr-r…
2/ I've also detailed errors made by media in the run-up to the release of the Mueller Report. If you read the @Newsweek piece atop this thread and then the thread below, you'll get a sense of what an accurate accounting of events is up against right now.

NEW: Exclusive: Trump admin. officials asked federal law enforcement agencies to examine legal ways of removing exiled Turkish cleric Fethullah Gulen from US in attempt to persuade Turkish Pres. Erdogan to ease pressure on Saudi gov't, four sources say. nbcnews.to/2QIZHsD
Career officials at the agencies pushed back on the White House requests, US officials and people briefed on the requests say. "Once they realized it was a serious request, the career guys were furious," a senior US official involved in the process says. nbcnews.to/2Q0GMfN
The effort includes directives to the US Justice Dept. and FBI that officials reopen Turkey's case for Gulen's extradition, as well as a request to the Homeland Security Dept. for information about his legal status, the four people say. nbcnews.to/2Q0GMfN

New #PA Congressional map is pretty much the best one Democrats could have hoped for. At least 2 pickups in neutral environment, likely ability to win 11 in current D+6 environment. Post coming
PA redraw creates map that is almost entirely drawn from scratch. Huge shifts from 2016 plan all over the place. Dems favored to win 9 seats there in almost any national environment.
(big swings mostly from renumbering, but aggregate differences are clear)
