CALLS ARE WORKING - it has bought us precious time, but we NEED to keep the pressure up. Tomorrow is the cloture vote. KEEP CALLING: (202) 224-3121 ☎️☎️☎️ Tell your Dem Senator to vote NO on Cloture and NO on the Republican spending bill. Do NOT assume your Senator will be good on this. Trust me.

everyone getting vocal and yelling at chuck schumer and the rest of the senate democrats made them back off (for now). i’m not a huge fan of his framing here, but this proves we need to keep yelling at them endlessly to continue this pressure for them to be a remotely useful opposition party

Crowds are massive in Silver Spring, Maryland…the home of NOAA. People chanting, “Save NOAA Now!” and “We will not weather the storm.” Make your voices heard and keep it up. #NOAA #NWS Severe Weather is on its Way. And so is hurricane season. 🌀 🧪

Well, another hit to the wildland fire community today. NWS folks fired include meteorologists who provide spot forecasts from local offices, work at the Emergency Ops Center, help us understand climate trends, and serve as Incident Meteorologists on large fires. 1/

Just a reminder that Trump’s DOJ just dropped a criminal fraud investigation into Ogles, including allegations that he used a photo of his stillborn child to raise tens of thousands of dollars for a burial garden for children that was never built. He has never accounted for that money.

NOAA is the backbone of the US weather enterprise. The rest of the enterprise needs to step up. Support the folks who lost their jobs. Support the communities who lost NOAA personnel. Boost the efforts of the NWS that remains as we get into severe and hurricane season.

I am so sick to my stomach knowing that so many dedicated, hardworking, and knowledgeable NOAA employees and colleagues were let go today. Awful. Please do not hesitate to reach out or message me. I’m here with you in this fight.

The talent pool that is being lost within NOAA is immeasurable - some of the best and brightest that have dedicated their lives to the betterment of society and service to others The people and the mission were way more important than any paycheck So incredibly saddened for so many

The senselessness of the cuts this administration is doing is unbelievable. All so that the insanely rich and powerful can maintain it. To my NOAA friends (and all you dedicated civil servants) I’m so sorry. (Also, I know I may end up joining you eventually).

Welp, I too was one of the NWS probationary folks that got terminated today. 8 years as an AWIPS contractor previously, I finally got the Fed job I had been wanting. Worked on implementing the next generation of capabilities for AWIPS. A lot of promising stuff coming that is now up in the air...

This, concurrent with the destruction of PEPFAR, which serves many similar functions for global HIV control, is a recipe for catastrophic drug resistance taking root and becoming widespread for both, often in the same patients and places. It is a horror, and will have permanent consequences.

I rely on the NWS. I need their expertise to plan prescribed fires, adjust staffing plans during fire season, and IMETs who join us on large fires throughout the fire season. Shrinking their budget and staff directly affects nearly all aspects of wildland fire management.
