Census Bureau Director Steven Dillingham Resigns Amid Criticism Over Data
Facing criticism that he was acceding to President Donald Trump’s demand to produce citizenship information at the expense of data quality, U.S. Census Bureau director Steven Dillingham said Monday that he planned to resign with the change in presidential administrations. The president also issued two directives that advocacy groups said were part of efforts to suppress the participation of minorities and immigrants in the 2020 census. Oftentimes, Dillingham appeared cut out of the loop on these census-related decisions made by the White House and Commerce Department, which oversees the Census Bureau. The 2020 census which Dillingham oversaw experienced unprecedented obstacles because of the coronavirus pandemic, as well as wildfires in the West and hurricanes along the Gulf Coast. The pandemic and errors found in the data have forced the Census Bureau to delay releasing the numbers used to apportion congressional seats until early March.

Kristy Swanson Roasted For Protesting Trump's Removal From ‘Home Alone 2’
Much like Trump’s cameo in “Home Alone 2,” Swanson’s very minor roles in the two Hughes films she listed in her protest tweet aren’t exactly essential to the plots of either movie. She also delivered a very short monologue in “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” in a classroom scene that Ben Stein is better remembered for than Swanson. Due to her on-going support for Trump — who emboldened rioters at the Capitol on Jan. 6 — Swanson was scorched on Twitter. I was removed from AS GOOD AS IT GETS and BAD SANTA years before Trump even THOUGHT of running for President. Swanson tweeted in 2019 that she and Cain received a “death threat” due to the production.

Trump And Biden's Monday Schedules Are Very, Very Different
President Donald Trump and President-elect Joe Biden have released their public schedules for Monday, which is also Martin Luther King Jr. Day, a national holiday. Trump’s schedule says ― as it has for weeks ― that he “will work from early in the morning until late in the evening. CNN’s Kaitlan Collins placed them side-by-side for comparison:Trump and Biden’s schedules for tomorrow. His public events have mostly been grievance sessions where he’s aired false claims and echoed debunked conspiracy theories about the election results. Those events culminated in his appearance at a Jan. 6 rally, after which Trump supporters attacked the U.S. Capitol.

Other Views: Due process still matters, even for rioters who stormed the Capitol
Not that the answers to these have to be yes before a company has cause to act. If an employee was in the Capitol with his company badge visible or was filmed causing mayhem, it doesn’t take a court of law to know that a line was crossed. But we add to, rather than soften, the damage done to our system of laws if due process is completely ignored. Employees should at least have the chance to be interviewed about their actions and offer a response. All states should join California in protecting employees’ right to political speech outside the workplace as long as their actions don’t directly affect their ability to do their jobs.

With Brandon Staley leaving, Rams once again searching for a defensive coordinator
AdvertisementWhen the Rams hired him in 2017, McVay, who was 30 at the time, hired veteran defensive coordinator Wade Phillips, who had been an NFL coach since 1976. The next season, the Rams finished 13-3, repeated as NFC West champions and advanced to the Super Bowl. He went outside the staff and hired Staley, who had coached outside linebackers for three seasons with the Chicago Bears and Denver Broncos under Vic Fangio. Twice during the season, Staley said Rams cornerbacks coach Aubrey Pleasant, safeties coach Ejiro Evero and defensive line coach Eric Henderson were more than ready for larger roles. Associate head coach Joe Barry, who coaches inside linebackers, was defensive coordinator in the NFL for Detroit and Washington.
