Going into the severe weather and hurricane season, this cannot be good.

The Commerce Department has laid off hundreds of NOAA employees, many with specialized skills who work at one of the world's top climate science and weather forecasting agencies.
Why it matters: The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is responsible for providing weather watches and warnings, monitoring and studying Earth's climate, as well as operating weather satellites and protecting marine life.
The layoffs of probationary employees that began Thursday hit soon after cuts at the behest of Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency occurred at other climate and environment agencies.
The big picture: NOAA's missions require staff to work around the clock to monitor dangerous weather, earthquakes that could cause tsunamis, and other hazards.
In recent weeks, NOAA's National Weather Service has issued warnings for deadly flooding in Kentucky, heavy snow, frigid temperatures and other hazards across the country.
While NOAA had pushed for public safety exemptions from the layoffs for NWS meteorologists, not all were granted. A congressional aide reported hearing that "some" at NWS were spared but "not many."

@virginia_tech I as an alum and a local resident, I can certainly make choices to protect myself. But I also know that the spread of Covid among unvaccinated person’s will tax our local healthcare and hospitals, and puts us all at daily risk +!diminishes our quality of life in Blacksburg.

You can still support your favorite restaurants under our #StayAtHome order—many continue to serve their communities with takeout, delivery, and no-contact pickup. I'm participating in Virginia is for Restaurant Lovers Takeout Week, and I invite you to as well. #VirginiaEatsLocal

It’s simple really.

If the trial is rigged to keep hidden the most damming, most important, most relevant evidence, then it’s not a trial.

Nor is it an acquittal.

It’s a coverup.

If this is what happens tomorrow, the Senate will be disgraced.

Bolton needs to “go to a microphone”

[Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63]

Don't be surprised, be angry. Show all of these GOP Senators treating Trump like a king that American democracy still works by voting them out. Every last one of them.

[Nancy Morehouse @Moresilly]

No doubt.

[Mark Warner @MarkWarner]

I’ve honestly been trying to keep an open mind about what witnesses like John Bolton and Mick Mulvaney could tell us. But I don’t see how this vote to block witnesses is anything but an admission that what they'd say under oath would not be good for this President.

"Christians supporting this President are the most morally confused people I've ever met.

They want the Prince of Peace and the pussy-grabber President.
They want Jesus' compassionate humility and Trump's vile arrogance."

35/100 Max’s mom Marsheila says access to affordable health care is "the difference between life and death for my son. We couldn’t afford his treatments if he relapsed."

Today, we remember how his senator, @SenJohnMcCain courageously voted to defend it.
