Trump is slashing another 1,000 jobs at NOAA.

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 US agency that monitors weather will cut another 1,000 jobs, AP sources say
Multiple sources tell The Associated Press that the Trump Administration is starting another round of job cuts — this one more than 1,000 — at the nation’s weather, ocean and fisheries agency.

The other day an Elton John song came to mind. I'm no Bernie Taupin, but "Levon" could be parodied for our current regime:

Donald wears his ear wound like a crown
E calls his child “Xavier”
`Cause he likes the name
Horrifyingly he deadnames this daughter.

Marine Le Pen said that Trump's election marks a turning point for the world. I agree. I am not happy about it.

Ms. Mace actual quote “I have friends and family that identify as LGBTQ. Understanding how they feel and how they’ve been treated is important. Having been around gay, lesbian, and transgender people has informed my opinion over my lifetime."
