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.

The new levies on America’s top trade partners could drive prices higher for cars, electronics, lumber and more, threatening to crimp an economy that the president has vowed to improve.

We did not have a FAA administrator to respond to the tragic crash last night in DC. Why? Because Elon Musk pushed the head appointed under Biden to resign after he fined SpaceX for failing to follow safety license requirements. www.theverge.com/news/603113/...
The FAA is facing a major crisis without a leader because Elon Musk pushed him out

Wonderful story about the SoFlo Crocodile.
I've lived in SoFla for over 40 years & while I've known that there are crocodiles at Turkey Point, I really haven't known that much about them.
This fascinating video from PBS is a great watch that tells you all about the crocs as well as the continued research that's being conducted with them.

Late last night, Trump fired the independent inspectors general of at least 12 major federal agencies.
Inspectors general are tasked with rooting out fraud, abuse, and corruption.
Trump wants loyalists in these positions — a key tenant of Project 2025.

The dismissals appeared to violate federal law, which requires Congress to receive 30 days’ notice of any intent to fire a Senate-confirmed inspector general.
