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.

According to an NNSA employee, roughly 300 of the agency's 1,800 staff are expected to be fired after the agency was denied a national security exemption. The small organization is responsible for maintaining and upgrading America's arsenal of nuclear weapons, combatting nuclear terrorism, and preventing proliferation around the world. According to an Energy Department official, the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) had suggested the agency use a template that cited "performance reasons" as the cause of the firings. The official said the Energy Department letter had removed that phrasing because many of the employees had performed well during their probationary period. The Energy Department's press office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

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.
