A U.S. Census Bureau analysis has identified tens of thousands of noncitizens voting in the 2020 election, raising concerns about election integrity.

PULSE POINTS WHAT HAPPENED: A U.S. Census Bureau report has revealed that more than 24,000 noncitizens cast ballots in the 2020 general election, with more potentially still to be identified.

AXIOS (Neil Irwin) - Retail sales slump in July

Data: Census Bureau ; Chart: Neil Irwin/Axios American consumers have powered the economy forward this year. In July, they took a breather. Why it matters: While the underlying trend in consumer demand appears solid, retail sales hit an air pocket last month, suggesting a bumpier path ahead for overall growth. - Combined with a weak jobs report last week and two subdued inflation readings this week, it points to the Federal Reserve having room to be patient on potential interest rate increases this fall. Driving the news: Retail sales fell 0.6% in July, the weakest performance in more than a year and well below the 0.1% gain analysts expected. - Excluding gas stations and auto dealers, there was still a 0.3% decline in sales, meaning…

How did the retail sales control group perform in July compared to forecasts?
The retail sales control group, which feeds directly into GDP calculations, fell 0.4% in July, which was lower than the 0.3% gain that analysts had forecast. Additionally, previously reported gains for May and June were revised downward.

How did the timing of the World Cup affect the retail sales data for July?
Because most World Cup games took place in June, the associated spending likely pushed retail sales upward in early summer, which created a mechanical effect that could result in a misleading decline in July.

AXIOS (Russell Contreras) - The hidden costs of low-tax states

Data: U.S. Census ; Note: Data for Hawai'i and Alaska starts in 1955 and 1957, respectively; Chart: Erin Davis/Axios Visual America's state governments now run on two very different tax engines: income in many coastal and professional-class states, and consumption in much of the Sun Belt and low-tax-growth belt. Why it matters: States are not just competing over tax rates. They've built systems around which parts of the economy to tax — and which residents feel it most. - States marketing themselves as low-tax havens often still collect heavily through shopping, gas, insurance, tourism and other transactions — while many blue and purple states rely more on wages, capital gains and corporate profits. By the numbers: In 2025, 27 states…

AXIOS (Russell Contreras) - White students now make up less than half of all Americans enrolled in school

Data: U.S. Census Bureau ; Chart: Russell Contreras/Axios White students now make up less than half of all Americans enrolled in school from nursery through graduate programs, according to an Axios analysis of new U.S. Census data . Why it matters: America's future workforce and electorate are moving through schools strained by 20-year-low reading scores , teacher shortages and racial segregation at levels not seen since the 1960s. - How schools, colleges and policymakers respond to this demographic shift will define opportunity for a generation. The big picture: White (non-Latino, non-multiracial) student enrollment fell from 46.7 million in 2000 to 36.6 million in 2024. - White students account for 48.8% of all Americans enrolled in…
