In an extraordinary display of public support, heads of state, heads of government, and foreign ministers from all over Europe and Canada are posting in support of Ukraine in response to the Oval Office meeting with Trump, Zelenskyy, and Vance.

A post by Dr Lewi Cowan which reads:

Probationary employees across @NOAA and the @NWS are being terminated today, including those in mission-essential roles.

My own wife is among them, essential to the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center's 24/7 critical mission of seismic monitoring and tsunami prediction to protect the public.

Remember, most of the NWS is understaffed as it is. While there surely is waste to be found, this is not where to look. Indeed, this is not "looking." This is a blind swing of a sword.

A post by Zach Labe which reads:

After nearly two weeks of overwhelming uncertainty, today it happened. I was fired from my dream of working at NOAA. I'm so sorry to everyone also affected.

My job was to strengthen NOAA's use of machine learning and AI for subseasonal-to-decadal weather and climate prediction

A post by Andy Hazelton which says:

Unfortunately I can confirm the rumors going around today since I received "the email"...I don't want to make any comments other than I am exploring legal options in a couple of avenues. I will probably be deactivating this account for a variety of reasons soon. I always advocate contacting representatives about the importance of the NWS/NOAA mission.

In the last few hours, meteorologists & NOAA staff have been posting confirmation that they have been fired.

Some heartbreaking stories as well as dire warnings about the impact on an already understaffed agency which saves lives.

To spell this out: Hamas held a dead baby parade today in which they publicly celebrated the corpses of two kidnapped kids, complete with music and an "arrested on October 7" inscription on the coffins. Then they sent back a random body instead of the children's mother.

Musk's intern "Big Balls" was in an internet nazi satanic pedophile hacking cult, he was under FBI investigation for cybercrimes and he was given access to US Treasury classified informatIon, including your grandma's social security and bank account numbers

Apparently there’s a β€œkickoff” meeting between the DOGE people and Department of Labor management planned for tomorrow at 4pm ET.

Unrelatedly, the Frances Perkins Building that houses the Dept of Labor is located at 200 Constitution Ave. NW, Washington, DC 20210.

How is this different *in any way at all* from Kamala being President and giving George Soros full access to the treasury systems, while admittedly dismantling agencies he doesn’t like? Insanity
