The future of America’s economic truth is on the line.

The Senate Health, Education, Labor & Pensions (HELP) Committee is considering E.J. Antoni — a Project 2025 operative and Heritage Foundation economist — to run the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).

This is the agency that produces the monthly jobs report, inflation numbers, and other vital data that drive decisions on everything from interest rates to worker protections. And Antoni has made it clear: he wants to tear it apart.

He has called Social Security a “Ponzi scheme” and said it should be shut down. He has smeared the BLS as dishonest — without evidence — undermining trust in our nation’s data. And he has vowed to eliminate the monthly jobs report that has been published without interruption since 1939.

Experts from across the political spectrum warn that Antoni’s agenda would cripple transparency by delaying key economic data for months, destabilize markets by creating uncertainty and confusion, and turn a respected, nonpartisan agency into a political propaganda machine.

The HELP Committee is the firewall. If they reject Antoni now, this dangerous nomination stops here. But if they advance him to the full Senate, our chance to protect the BLS shrinks dramatically.

We’ve stopped extremist nominees before through public pressure — but only when thousands of people spoke out at the right moment. That moment is now.

The integrity of our economic data is not a partisan issue — it’s the foundation of informed policy, stable markets, and public trust. We cannot let one man’s ideology dismantle nearly a century of truth-telling.

The vote could come at any moment. Your signature could help tip the balance. Act now — before the damage is done.

Thanks,
