"The bottom line is that Trump and DOGE made drastic cuts to the NWS and the NOAA. Retired federal scientists warned the cuts could hamstring forecasts and make extreme weather events less predictable and more dangerous."

This decision is going to screw over cities for decades to come, unless it's reversed.
GOP reconciliation bill included a provision eliminating funding for any reconnecting community projects—those projects designed to cover highways—that have not yet been obligated. That has likely killed projects like:

In 2020, when I told people that I was building a pro-democracy media outlet, people thought I was kidding.
When I told them that the fight for democracy was the fight of our time, they thought I was being overly dramatic.
Well...here we are.

1/2 You could write a book about one atrocious headline in print NYT today
(I sort of wrote this book 30 years ago, Breaking the News, but others can take a turn.)
What's wrong this headline? Mamdani "faces scrutiny" **ONLY AND EXCLUSIVELY** because NYT decided to make this a "thing."
Really bad.
