What if NOAA Grants Are Cut?

Fishermen lose support for sustainable practices.
Coastal towns face more flooding.
Tribes lose climate resilience funding.

Federal workers make these programs possible.

Let’s protect the grants that protect us.

THE ASK
This week, between Monday and the vote on Vought, we're asking people from all over the country to plan a visit to Senate State Offices to demand Democrats fight and to hold Republicans accountable for their complicity.
DEMOCRATS MUST USE EVERY PROCEDURAL TOOL TO SHUT DOWN
TRUMP'S AGENDA
Yes, we need Democrats to vote no on Vought's nomination, but no is not enough. Democrats have the power to grind Senate business to a halt and force Republicans to feel the political cost of backing Trump's extremist agenda. Here's how:
1. Deny a Quorum: If Republicans don't have 51 votes in the chamber, Democrats can walk out and shut down Senate business entirely.
2. Block Unanimous Consent: Object to every procedural shortcut, forcing Republicans to take the longest possible route for every step of the confirmation process.
3. Max Out Debate Time: Use all 30 hours of debate on Vought to expose Project 2025, Musk's Treasury takeover, and the funding freeze.
4. Delay and Disrupt: Force roll-call votes, quorum calls, and procedural delays to slow everything down.
5. Blanket Opposition: Democrats cannot continue to vote for Trump's other nominees, helping to install more MAGA loyalists into powerful positions in the federal government while this power grab continues.
No Business as Usual: This is a constitutional crisis. Democrats must abandon the old rules and fight with everything they have.
Bottom line: Senate Democrats must block, delay, and obstruct every step of this process-no cooperation, no easy votes, no fast-tracking Trump's takeover. To learn more about how Senate Democrats can shut down Trump's agenda with procedural hardball, check out our explainer here.

Elon Musk’s DOGE Is Expected to Examine Another Treasury System Next Week The new target, sources said, is a sensitive database that tracks the flow of money across the government.

It’s February 6.

The deadline for responses to the illegal OPM email.

Buckling in for the next threat.

They want fear. They want chaos. Hold the line.

Can’t wait for the Friday hr@opm.gov email.

What masterpiece will the frat bros draft this time?

"Please, please leave. We need to prove we can totally run a government without experienced workers. Trust us, bro."

Would be a shame if they got mass emailed by folks asking very detailed questions.

Federal Workers Sue to Disconnect DOGE Server Two federal workers, citing reports that Elon Musk’s associates are operating an illegally connected email server at OPM, seek a restraining order.

Exclusive: Federal workers have filed an emergency motion requesting a restraining order to disconnect the DOGE server that's being used to conduct Trump's "deferred resignation program." The workers had previously accused DOGE of illegally bypassing a mandated privacy audit.
