No, the BLS does not have the data due to the longest gov shutdown in history. They spend the month collecting and crunching the numbers, and since the gov shutdown lasted the entire month of October and is still ongoing, October data collection is not possible.

An analysis of news pieces about Trump’s anti-trans decrees found that “70 percent did not include a quote from a single trans person. Instead, journalists turned to cisgender sources — mostly government officials — to speak about trans people, their lives, and how they would be affected.”
NEW: Firings of LGBTQ staff at NBC and Condé Nast have worsened an already dire picture for legacy news media when it comes to covering the trans community.

I hate to be right about Magic Mike Johnson’s one trick—hold the House out of session—because, guys, they had SEVEN weeks to change Lauren Boebert’s vote, and it is coming down holding a meeting in the Situation Room.
The Epstein Files have caused the United States to initiate DEFCON 2.
Q: "Why are White House officials…meeting with Rep. Boebert in an effort to try to get her to not sign this petition calling for the release of the [Epstein] files?"
Leavitt: "I'm not going to detail conversations that took place in the situation room."

These emails are damning.
It's clear Trump knew about Epstein's abuse.
It's time to release the full Epstein files NOW, hold a hearing with survivors, and end this White House cover-up once and for all.

This sounds reasonable but is 100% wrong. Whether you or agree or disagree with a study is completely immaterial. What matters is whether the study was conducted properly and generates valid results. And it's impolitic to say but it's true: you have to have some level of expertise to judge that.
