Sounds like they're correcting the Biden era policy of coming up with problems that don't really exist.

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

If the jobs number revisions are an example of statistic issues in other agencies, then there might be reasons for doubt. The timeline of the job revisions goes back to April 2024. The former questionably cognizant POTUS bragged about a smooth economy with steady employment which was probably untrue.
At the beginning of August 2025, the Trump administration was basically trusting the employment data to support its tariff policy, Within a couple days, the statistics were radically adjusted. Trump raged about the timing of the revisions not the actual figures.
Up to Election Day Nov 2024, the previous administration could get away with pretending the economy was strong. Trump tried to play a similar game going into August 2025 & the number crunchers suddenly said everything is way worse than it seems stretching further back in 2024 than previously understood.

The report that is now archived is dated January 4, 2024

The left wing Brennan Center for Justice posted on January 24, 2024 that the DOJ had failed to provide adequate info on the scope of domestic terrorism.

I wonder where jihadist US domestic terrorism is also studied?
What NIJ Research Tells Us About Domestic Terrorism
Militant, nationalistic, white supremacist violent extremism has increased in the United States. In fact, the number of far-right attacks continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism.

Justice Department Must Reveal the Real Scope of Domestic Terrorism
The DOJ has failed in its legal duty to report complete and accurate data on its domestic terrorism investigations to Congress.

That isn’t true. The jobs report gets revised a few times because it’s based on surveys and a lot of the answers come in too late to make it into the first version of the report. The report in the op isn’t based on self-reporting that has to meet a quarterly deadline.

This has been a problem for many years. The Brennan Center has been arguing that right-wing terrorism is being underreported for more than a decade. For example, the 2015 Charleston church shooting and the 2018 Pittsburgh synagogue shooting were both prosecuted as hate crimes rather than terrorism and were therefore not included in the NIJ and DOJ reports as right-wing domestic terrorism. Below are some excerpts from a 2018 report:
Within the field of domestic terrorism, the Justice Department has a history of minimizing far-right violence while aggressively targeting minority activists and far-left protest movements. The latter group has engaged in civil disobedience and vandalism but statistically has presented a much lower danger to human life, which is a key element of the federal definition of terrorism. In 2005, for example, the FBI declared ecoterrorists the number-one domestic threat, despite not a single fatal attack in the United States attributable to protest groups that the government deems “environmental extremists.”
Domestic terrorism is a blind spot in the Justice Department’s counterterrorism strategy because the government does not collect reliable data to accurately assess the scope or nature of the threat this violence poses to Americans. As explained above, EOUSA data is often unreliable and remains far from comprehensive. Other data that the government collects is often flawed, miscategorized, and incomplete.
In the absence of accurate data from the federal government, academic institutions, advocacy organizations, and think tanks have attempted to gather data from media sources and court records to get a picture of the domestic terrorism threat. Each entity uses its own definitions of what constitutes a terrorist attack, varying from vandalism to mass murder. They often characterize the nature of ideological movements differently and cover different time periods, resulting in strikingly divergent data sets that make any comparisons or comprehensive assessments of the various threats exceedingly difficult.
Despite these limitations, two facts become clear: First, when using the most salient measurement based on the federal statutory definition of terrorism as acts harmful to human life — i.e., the number of resulting fatalities — it becomes clear that far-right violence poses as great or greater a threat than any other form of terrorism. Second, hate crimes — in the form of racist, Islamophobic, anti-Semitic, homophobic, and anti-immigrant violence—are severely under-addressed by federal law enforcement.
Wrong Priorities on Fighting Terrorism
Many in federal law enforcement have blamed their inadequate response to rising far-right violence on a lack of statutory authority to prosecute white supremacists and others as domestic terrorists. This paper argues that they already have everything they need to do so.
Below are links to a couple of recent studies on jihadist domestic terrorism. The information at the first link is updated regularly and records information on attacks shortly after they occur.

Exactly. There's tons of unnecessary testing showing results for even asymptomatic Covid, making it look much worse than it really is at this point. It seems like the left really wants to cling onto Covid still being a serious pandemic.
