NOAA is reportedly on the DOGE chopping block.

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.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.

EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.

Since 2011, the CFPB has returned over $20 billion to victims of financial fraud.

For every $1 in funding for the CFPB, more than $4 has been placed back in consumers’ pockets.

Elon Musk doesn't want you to know that it's one of the most efficient government agencies we have.

The CFPB has:

-Returned $20B to victims of financial fraud
-Cracked down on junk fees
-Fought against politically-motivated debanking
-Protected veterans from predatory lenders
-Protected consumers' data from corporate abuse

Oligarchs want to reverse all of this.
Laws Are Not Suggestions: How the CFPB Is Delivering for the American People - American Economic Liberties Project
Under Director Rohit Chopra, the CFPB has held scammers like Wells Fargo accountable, returning billions of dollars of Americans’ hard-earned money to their bank accounts; fought back against Wall Street and Big Tech’s discriminatory and anti-competitive behavior; ensured violating the law can no longer be written off as just a “cost of doing business;” and restored financial freedom to millions of Americans held hostage by the credit reporting cartel.

i think the executive orders directing agencies to end energy efficiency regulations and open up more land to drilling and mining is so indicative of the character of the american right — in its view everything, whether people or our larger environment, is something to be exploited and dominated

We need a program that brings classes about critical thinking, logical fallacies and figuring out AI fakery.
Classes for kids that their parents are welcome to sit in on. Definitely NOT from a partisan perspective.

This is a long game, to upgrade logical thinking and reasoning across the US.

I know two polio survivors. They have adjusted to their childhood illness.
I don’t want more children, in Gaza, in the US, or anywhere in the world to be unvaccinated and at risk of polio.
Is RFJ, Jr really going to be in charge?
