Genuinely what is the purpose of this? What is the upside? Was weather predicting unpopular among republicans?

NEW: The Trump admin has informed NOAA that two buildings that are critical for weather forecasting will have their leases canceled. If this comes to pass, it's a really big deal. Includes weather fcst nerve center in College Park, Md.: www.axios.com/2025/03/03/d...

Probably cause they corrected him about the hurricane that one time in his first term.

That was honestly the only thing I could come up with, the sharpie moment, but surely there has to be something else?????

Manufacture crises and privatize the smoking ruins pf the federal gov’t infrastructure.

Take credit. Profit. Don’t care about who it harms and kills.

I remember one time in a speech Bobby Jindal used “volcano monitoring” as an example of wasteful spending. He chuckled and had this incredulous look on his face, like can you believe they’re wasting money on this?

Privatize it. This has been the goal all along.

All I can figure is they want to privatize how we learn about weather.

Just tell him the Category 4 headed directly towards Palm Beach has veered off into the Atlantic because it respects his muscular Presidency so much

All private everything. They can blame the next disaster on the government if the weather agency is terrible and say the only fix is to sell it

It’s the science behind climate change which is a hoax according to the new administration.
