One month into the government shutdown and federal scientists are working without pay.
“We do our jobs very well, despite the fact I’m not getting a paycheck right now,” said an anonymous weather service meteorologist. “We’ll still do all the forecasting, the warnings and stuff like that, but after a while that’s not going to happen. I’m sorry. It’s just not.”

Our military is being paid by an anonymous donor.
Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors.
These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism.
This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function.
Every American should reject it.

Remember that when they talk about "free speech", it's really conservatives being able to say whatever the hell they want, no matter how cruel, and everyone else limited to saying whatever the hell conservatives want.

It’s true the system has been neglected. But what system? Hiring? Yes, but we’re shedding employees. Infrastructure? Yes, but we’re not investing in it. Radar? Yes, but no investment. Future weather models? Yes, but again no investment. I’ve never seen operations devolve faster than the last 6 mos.
Noem: "Frankly, the National Weather Service under President Trump has been working to put in a new system bc it has been neglected for years. It's an ancient system that needed to be upgraded, so President Trump recognized that right away and got to work... but that installation is not complete"

It is difficult to describe just how disastrous it would be if just-released NOAA budget proposal (or even large portions) were to be enacted: It would involve a wholesale dismantling (decimation, really) of entities relevant to weather, climate, & ocean research & prediction.
