Trump’s attacks on the National Weather Service

 

WE DEPEND ON A FULLY STAFFED, FUNCTIONAL NATIONAL WEATHER 

SERVICE TO MAKE DECISIONS.....IT PROTECTS LIVES!



There is a storm coming and it could get really bad… ⛈️☔

Donald Trump has left the National Weather Service extremely short-handed due to last year’s staff cuts, just as we approach a brutal storm season.

We are seeing the direct consequences of those cuts right now. These jobs are meant for public servants who are dedicated to keeping us safe, but it's clear Trump just doesn’t care.


Let’s face it: our federal workers and their families have faced the brunt of Trump’s attacks ever since his first day in office. He has purged scientists, biologists, chemists, and climate experts — especially targeting anyone who acknowledges the reality of climate change.

Those who survived the layoffs are now left with the extraordinary burden of filling the gaps while navigating the chaos and systemic problems left behind.

Public service is often a thankless job. We must do better to support the public servants who are working every day to protect us, especially as the climate crisis continues to accelerate. We are simply running out of time before the worst effects become our daily reality.

The crisis at the National Weather Service is only the latest example of why we need more SEEC climate champions in Congress who will stand up to these attacks on our government and ensure our agencies are equipped to serve the American people when they need it.

Will you please chip in now to help us continue fighting back against Trump’s attacks and supporting the people who help keep our country safe?

  LAST 2 WEEKS IN REVIEW I’m your Representative in Congress and I write to keep you informed. The chaos and costs of Trump’s tariff strategy A junior varsity national security team  No one is above the law, or below it  Big ideas to govern better Hitting back on behalf of scientists Meeting with constituents in the MA-04   The chaos and costs of Trump’s tariff strategy   WSJ’s “dumbest trade war in history”:  The president announced sweeping tariffs this week, which amount to a $500+ billion tax hike on everyday Americans. The tariffs were calculated  nonsensically  and communicated incoherently. There is robust debate between policymakers and economists about how tariffs might help America, but every serious participant in that debate recognizes that the chaos of this tariff roll-out will cause pain for businesses, families, and allies alike.  I have often joined the tariff debate, generally arguing for free trade with the exception of Chin...

The Three Huge Lies Trump is Telling Republican Senators about his Medicaid Cuts — to finance a big tax cut mostly for the wealthy Robert Reich Jun 3 Friends, Trump is busily working the Senate this week in an effort to get his Big Ugly Bill across the finish line. Given the Republican’s close margin in the Senate, he can afford to lose only three Republican senators. But Republican senators don’t like the idea of cutting Medicaid — many of their constituents depend on it — and they’re balking at the huge deficit-busting price tag (which, of course, includes a giant tax cut mostly for the wealthy). I think what Senate Republicans are most afraid of is the way this will  look  to the average American — a Republican reverse Robin-Hood strategy of taking from the poor and working class (mostly in Medicaid cuts but also Food Stamps and other programs they depend on) in order to finance a tax cut for the rich, while  still  busting the budget. In essence, then, the que...
