Who needs live saving information anyway? As someone who relies on NOAA information to prepare for major weather events to protect our family, this sounds like it’s among the dumbest and most dangerous cuts any government could make. People will die because of these idiotic decisions.

What we have, is our president, who is self immolating. And that is ok, as long as he doesn't bring our country with him. The poor man is so mentally ill, that he cannot have our country's best interests at heart, only himself. If he had any sense, he would resign.

Republicans want all this to be privatized so that someone can make money on the data because nothing should be done for the benefit of the people for pennies per person when a company can rake people over the coals every year.

We in Oregon are hit hard by this. The wildfires are getting more intense than ever because of an ongoing drought since 2000. We rely on NOAA data for the timber industry. With the Forestry departments gutted, we're set to burn this year...

can't tell if Trump/MAGAs are trying to GUT the Govt so they can create enough of a crisis to have an excuse to declare martial law & stop all future elections OR just cuz they hate any Govt oversight on their businesses OR cuz they want to help Putin OR so they don't have to pay any taxes?

They don’t care about the deaths from mass shootings including American children in schools, why would they care about anything more? Mind you republicans the party of jesus christ and what not

Stop issuing warnings for threats facing red states. These people voted for #trump AFTER he said he would cut #NOAA funding, so obviously don't want severe weather forecasting Imagine a few hurricanes coming ashore in red states like #florida #georgia #virginia #texas without evacuation warnings

Since the plan is to deliver the contracts to Starlink (and that's not gonna work, of couse), I wait for the day when that tsunami hits (because geological survey has gone kaput as well) and the Afrikkaner says, "No one could have seen that coming." Guess what, princess? They could.

@cnn.com it's what they voted for. Consequences. It was also in Project 2025 but you chose to NOT do your job, sane-washing and soft-pedaling every LIE King Fuhrer Convicted Felon Sexual Assaulter said. A little late to raise the red flag/warning now.

They need to organize now, start a company and provide all the services that they were providing to the government and then when the government recognizes, they need to charge them five times what it cost to have it in house! Start with Replit do it now I am me if you need help!

Can’t another billionaire with a soul attempt to create their own NOAA, CDC research, etc which is funded by them and the people? It’s obvious the current administration wants to wipe it all out. Can we assemble something of our own?

They should stop providing any weather information for Florida, and wherever JD lives, and wherever Musk launches rockets from, and wherever all Republican appeasers live. Let mother nature deal with them.

TO THE LEGISLATIVE BRANCH!!! You are next on his list. You're his real enemy and his Achilles heel. These small moves are just for his ultimate move, removing your power and making you useless. Republicans you better do something while you still can. Because you ARE his wasteful bureaucracy.

Ask your congresspeople to boycott the State of the Union Address and hold a state-wide town hall instead! ACT!! Text SIGN PFOHWU to 50409 to send this letter to both of your U.S. senators plus the U.S. representative from your district. Resistbot will make sure it goes to the right people.

"The [NHC] predictions are based on weather models, including one developed and fine-tuned by scientists like Hazelton, who worked on NOAA’s Hurricane Analysis and Forecast System until he was cut from the agency on Thursday due to his probationary status," bsky.app/profile/cnn....

As the wife of an NWS meteorologist, I am heartbroken by what is being done. These men and women go to work each day to protect life and property. They don’t care about political affiliation, net worth, or where you are from. They just want to protect us.
