NOAA is scrambling to fill 155 vacancies at the National Weather Service, I reported earlier in Morning Energy. Dems are drawing attention to the openings, calling NOAA's pleas an admission that Trump's cuts leave the nation unprepared for storms.

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it.
Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice.
But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word.
They aren’t firing for a reason.
