Weather and climate research funds are being β€œchainsawed” from NOAA's budget. Last I checked, Louisiana & Florida, which are maximally susceptible to Hurricanes, voted Red in the last General Election.

Wondering if residents there knew in advance this would happen.

Obama’s Blistering New Takedown of Trump Gives Dems a Way Forward In an appearance on Thursday, the former president laid out the connection between Trump’s lawlessness andβ€”yesβ€”the price of eggs. Will other Democrats follow?
