The ongoing dismantling of government services isn't a byproduct of a misguided effort to improve efficiency, it is the primary goal.
NOAA’s office of Oceanic Atmospheric Research has had IT and other support contracts canceled in the last day or so that will fundamentally affect its operation. One source there said “It will seriously hurt our ability to improve weather forecasting and climate projections.”

Russian militants filmed their vehicle blowing up on a mine. A massive fireworks display, then everything’s ablaze. That’s what happens when “liberators” stumble into Ukrainian surprises.

In 2025, the West must not rush to force #Ukraine into an unjust peace with a brutal regime that began an unnecessary war, fought it poorly, used its military to rape, loot, torture and murder its way across a neighbour, and is unlikely to abide by any ceasefire agreement. 1/7 🧵
