Hundreds of NOAA employees are being fired by Trump and DOGE.

The National Weather Service, which is part of NOAA, provides life saving weather forecasting in the US.

A study found that for every $1 invested in NWS, it produces $73 in value to Americans.

Again, this isn't about efficiency.

First, they said postponed; now the meeting is canceled. That means no flu shots next year.

“'It’s a six-month production cycle,' Dr. Offit said. 'So one can only assume that we’re not picking flu strains this year.'"

Fundamentally, that's a form of mass murder.

Why, I wonder. What does drumpf have against weather!?
The bloodbath at NOAA apparently included meteorologists with the National Weather Service; scientists inside what’s simply known as NOAA Research, or the office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR) more formally; technicians that keep up the country’s weather instrumentation;
NOAA returns/produces so much more money to the American economy than it costs, no stories about any of this should allow them the absolutely bullshit "savings" framing

The moment in the cabinet meeting where RFK Jr, acting as the actual head of HHS was asked to respond to a deadly measles outbreak caused by vaccine refusal was one of those out-of-body, waking nightmare moments of the Trump era.

Republicans are too chickenshit to hold town halls. Shocker.

Here’s an idea: Democrats, hold town halls in Republican districts.

Voted for Trump, now have buyer’s remorse? The Trump philosophy seems to be his version of FAFO. Don’t buy anything on the 28th unless you absolutely have to.

While the media and country continue chasing all of the shiny objects that Trump and Musk throw, real news does happen. Perhaps someone ought to chase this down. We are under attack and nobody seems to understand that.

Something that’s very clear is that Trump is old and checked out. He wants to play the role of president but has zero interest in doing the job and is happy to outsource the real work to Musk, Vought and a crew of feral zealots.

What can you do?

Don’t give up hope. Dictators feed off your hopelessness.

Don’t quit. Dictators want you to give up.

Punch back. Dictators are bullies, and bullies are cowards.

Stay tethered to the truth. Dictators need you to believe their lies.

Resist. Stand with others.

Pretty damn good framing for Dems

How much a senior on Social Security gets a day: $65

Guess which budget Musk and Trump want to cut?
