The Trump administration is systematically canceling key federal data collection such as food security, climate, health, and more to create a narrative-controlling vacuum. Deep staffing cuts and politicized firings cripple agencies, eroding the "gold standard" of U.S. statistics. This undermines evidence-based policy, public trust, leaving propaganda to fill the void.
