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.

Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game.

The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.

The incompetence is staggering

Firing people in charge of maintaining the safety of nuclear weapons is insane. This will adversely effect people the environment and our wildlife.

Tom Homan basically admits to a quid pro quo for dropping the corruption charges against Mayor Eric Adams in exchange for enforcing Donald Trump's mass deportation plan.

"If he doesn't come through...I'll be in his office, up his butt, saying 'where the hell is the agreement we came to?'"

Vile.

My brother is a wild-land forest fire fighter.

He wasn’t fired, but he says that the degraded workforce will struggle to function in the next fire season.

These are the heroes who risk everything to save lives and homes.
