The Trump admin is torching NOAA. Habitat Conservation? Zeroed out. International Fisheries? Gutted. Climate research centers? Going dark. And now they’re reclassifying staff under Schedule F, turning civil servants into political pawns. #NOAA #DOGE

AWI relies on NOAA to enforce the Marine Mammal Protection Act, the Endangered Species Act, and more. We need champions in Congress to defend against this reckless action that jeopardizes wildlife, our planet, and ourselves.

Our oceans—and the animals who call them home—are facing a new threat: Hundreds of @noaa.gov employees have been fired under the directive of DOGE. NOAA is responsible for monitoring ocean health and protecting endangered species, among other things. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/27/c...

Right on! And the great Williams & Connolly has stepped up to defend Perkins Coie from the same savage and lawless attack on law and justice. I call on all my fellow lawyers to show such principled courage. If you’re too chicken, then stop calling yourself a lawyer.

Great to see Perkins Coie challenge Trump’s order banning them from security clearances, government contracts, and federal buildings. And good for Williams and Connelly for not only representing them, but having 15 lawyers sign their names to the complaint.

Perkins Coie, which helped defeat Trump's attempts to subvert the 2020 election, fights Trump's order targeting the firm as a violation of the 1st, 5th and 6th Amendments and the separation of powers.
