I had the privilege of honoring civil servants and census geeks during the first week of my book tour. At @PoliticsProse, I asked everyone who worked on the 2020 census to stand up. The majority of the room did. The look of gratitude on Al Fontenot's face was priceless. I was teary eyed. Democracy takes a village.

“Congress has the power and responsibility to ensure that the census is both functional and legitimate... both parties are driving a stake through the heart of the American project.” (By moi) theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

I will never know if this administration *wants* to delegitimize the US census, but they sure are doing a fantastic job of it. The amazing @gilliantett offers a portrait of what's happening: giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/ac…
