Scientists are sounding the alarm over mass layoffs at the National Weather Service under the Trump administration. The National Weather Service is a government agency whose data collection is used by weather forecasting operations around the country, including private companies. Its information warns of dangerous conditions and helps track the path of hurricanes and other potential disasters.
“NWS has fired meteorologists as a direct result of upper-level heads telling them to do so,” said Ethan Clark, a meteorologist for the city of Raleigh and an intern for WRAL, in a post to X. “Let me be clear, people will die because of this. Absolutely insane… I have no words for it.

ETA: They’ve fired the air traffic controllers, the scientists monitoring pandemics, firefighters, and now the people who warn us about blizzards, tornadoes, and hurricanes. They’re going after food assistance, vaccines, medicaid, social security and medicare. Millions and millions of people will die.
The Trump administration’s Department of Education debuted a new portal where Americans can report any diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives lingering at public schools — and critics were aghast at what they dubbed a "snitch line” pushed out in conjunction with the right wing Moms for Liberty group.
Rep. Eric Swalwell: Bro, did you write this? We all saw you. You tried to shrink in your chair. You looked at Trump like he was some crazy ass pops who was embarrassing you on your first date. Don’t bullshit us. Grow a pair.
Secretary Marco Rubio: Thank you POTUS for standing up for America…
“The sheer rudeness shown to a foreign guest and friend of the United States was (to use a word) deplorable as a matter of manners and grace, but worse, Trump and Vance acted like a couple of online Kremlin sock puppets instead of American leaders. They pushed talking points that they either knew or should have known were wrong. Even if Zelensky were as fluent and capable in English as Winston Churchill, he would never have been able to rebut the flood of falsehoods. No, the U.S. has not given Ukraine $350 billion; yes, Zelensky has repeatedly expressed his thanks to America and to Trump; no, Zelensky was not attacking the administration. The Ukrainian leader did his best to stand up to the bullying, but Trump and Vance were playing to the cameras and the MAGA gallery at home.”
