Weather and climate research funds are being “chainsawed” from NOAA's budget. Last I checked, Louisiana & Florida, which are maximally susceptible to Hurricanes, voted Red in the last General Election.
Wondering if residents there knew in advance this would happen.

Without this abuse of power, Trump could not be unleashing such havoc. In short, Trump’s lawlessness and his economic destruction are the same story: The former doesn’t just enable the latter; the two are inextricably entangled with each other.

of the treasonous continually waving the flag,
of hateful people peddling a God of love,
of human beings with no empathy pretending they care about the sanctity of life.
