Yes, based on verified reports from NOAA documents and experts, the Trump administration's cuts—eliminating ~600 NWS positions and funding for weather labs—have impaired forecasting capabilities, potentially endangering lives, as seen in the recent Texas flood where officials blamed NWS inaccuracies.
After media reports & experts warned for months that drastic & sudden cuts at the Nat Weather Service by Trump could impair their forecasting ability & endanger lives during the storm season, TX officials blame an inaccurate forecast by NWS for the deadly results of the flood.
Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. Nervous Musk, Trump, Vance have all been outclassed in public arguments these last few days. Government failure, stock market crash, and dictatorial alliances are not popular. People are starting to realize that there is no truth here beyond the desire for personal wealth and power.
Healthcare needs to move quickly to a sustainable future. @HardeepSinghMD and I just published a paper in Nature Climate Change (https://t.co/Jm4cPDSVyx) on 5 national health policies to accelerate that change!
Here’s your reminder that these three have created 49 million out of the 51 million jobs in America since 1989.

Health sector: Help make that difference by signing the @WhiteHouse and @HHSGov Health Sector Climate Pledge, which I am happy to announce reopened today. The pledge aims to reduce emissions and improve climate resilience. #LNIM23 https://t.co/dCJjJEMwNY
Joined a great panel at @LNImpactForum on decarbonizing the health sector w/ @VictorDzau, George Barrett & Jon Perlin, moderated by Sandi Peterson. The bottom line is that #climatechange is a problem that we can fix. The health sector can lead and make a huge difference. #LNIF23

"The #InflationReductionAct that Congressman Pallone championed will invest nearly $370 billion to fight #climatechange, while creating 9 million good-paying union jobs & lowering costs for working families and small businesses" -@EdPotosnak, @NJLCV https://t.co/4h9p8yhVD1
NJ has 500+ school districts. @NewJerseyDEP is set to spend $45 million over the next three years on #EVs for at least 18 districts — it's a great step in ensuring our communities and children can breathe cleaner air, but we still have work to do. https://t.co/8s8AB6lIRL
Salman Rushdie has lived his life courageously and refused to let intimidation silence him, his art, and what he stands for. I am keeping him in my thoughts and praying for his recovery.
We are now the closest we’ve ever been to passing federal climate legislation. 🎉 🌏
