Cuts to National Weather Service Leave Forecasters Reeling “Lives are being put in danger,” one meteorologist warned, as some experts feared the cuts will harm public safety. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/01/w...

For those of us who have actually taken an astrophysics class... Mars doesn't have a magnetic field, any thick atmosphere trying to develop gets "blown away" by solar wind/flares Mars will never be terraformed to habitability

Another outrage among a deluge of outrages. Make no mistake: retribution is more important to this Admin than public safety. And this tidbit: “The seven prosecutors were notified by email Friday morning”. These cowards are always afraid to do their dirty deeds in person, face to face.

NOAA and Weather Service gutted for saving too many lives

A friendly reminder.

“My app has radar data, everything should be fine!” Fun Fact: The National Weather Service operates 122 of the 160 NEXRAD radars across the United States, providing free data to users through popular radar applications. In addition to other services, this is funded for ~$4 annually per taxpayer.

I...this is fucking disgusting. Absolutely disgraceful. It was actually hard to watch. Fuck Trump and everyone who continues to excuse this shit, man.

As a kid watching Red Dawn in the 80s, I definitely though the Russian takeover of the US would involve at least *some* tanks

New reaction pic just dropped from the Trump, JD, Zelenskyy “arguing” reactions from the Oval Office.

Pam Bondi Ttulsi Gabbard Pete Hegseth Marco Rubio VP Vance & Trump Are working for Russia

Marco looks like he is finally feeling what it’s like to sell your soul to Lucifer. Fucking weak ass coward!

If the market continues to trend down, and the Atlanta Fed turns out to be right, the midterms will be very interesting. The battle between republican self preservation and MAGA will be intense

The day to work together was November 4th, not enough of you showed up For MONTHS beforehand we warned and warned and warned about EXACTLY everything that has transpired Inaction is action the same #TraitorsSupportTraitorTrump

Nailed it www.nytimes.com/2025/02/28/o...

I have covered presidential politics for 40 years. This was the most juvenile display by a President and Vice President I have ever seen. Other presidents treated their enemies with more respect. This is a low point and a dark day for the US. Totally embarrassing.

NEW: A searing editorial in the The Kyiv Independent. “It’s time to say it plainly. America’s leadership has switched sides in the war. The American people have not, and they should speak up. “A president just disrespected America in the Oval Office. It wasn’t Zelensky.” @kyivindependent.com

Yes

Russia seems pretty pleased with what it witnessed in the Oval Office today.

This administration 😡 Can you imagine how happy Putin is right now? And explain to me like I'm 6 how that's a good thing for the United States

There might be a lot to be upset about, and things may seem dark… but the kindness and generosity of people will never cease to humble and astound me. Thank you.

JFC 🤦‍♂️ not like Illinois is gonna be super dependent on radar in the next 4 months /s 😔

TFW ur a spineless jellyfish starting to realize how the history books will describe u.

If there's any doubt why the disinformation campaign won the election... See below

💯 Isn't it obvious the Trump Administration is pilfering our government so these once free services can be privatized and pay-to-play? #TraitorsSupportTraitorTrump

in other words: american assholery happened

Our friends at NOAA/NWS work 24/7/365 to protect life and property and enhance the economy…that’s in their mission statement. They were already understaffed. Now we’re getting into severe weather season and then hurricane season. And they’ll be working longer and harder to keep you safe.

800 families suddenly and without warning losing a job. And not because of some well thought out plan to reduce costs. No, it isn’t that. It’s simply the whim of a criminal & his henchman bent on destroying the U.S. & terrorizing Americans. www.cnn.com/2025/02/27/p...

"Thursday’s mass firings come days before a potential severe weather outbreak early next week in the southeastern United States — and just months ahead of the next Atlantic hurricane season." Reporting by Scott Dance... www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

Holy cow, Bluesky friends. Tonight's sunset was an absolute banger. Bay Ridge, Brooklyn

A week ago, Pam Bondi went on Fox News claiming the files were sitting on her desk. Now, in a fabricated letter to Kash Patel, she insists she never received them. Congrats on shifting the news cycle. Lie better.

Measles updates Measles everyone. Here is info you will not be getting from RFK #medsky #publichealth open.substack.com/pub/emilysmi...

I'm so sorry to all affected by today's firings. Getting rid of some of the best and brightest among us does not make us great. This is a loss for every one of us, even if you don't realize it yet.

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 get asked all the time "why is the European weather model better than the American?". Today's a good start.

I'm honestly so angry and terrified at the work that will be lost because of this recklessness. I stand with you, @noaa.gov and @nws.noaa.gov folks, and am truly sorry this is happening.
