This is straight from the Project 2025 playbook. This further rigs the rules to let Pres.Trump to fire the federal workers who help make our essential services run & replace them with political loyalists. We must stay informed & turn out to vote in November to protect our rights & freedoms.

"The country has invested in, and innovated through, this scientific public service for over a century, not for selling it to the highest bidder, but for the common good. Dismantling NOAA and the National Weather Service is a presidential grift that we must oppose."
