Demand Trump restore funding to the Weather Service before even more people die!
Devastating flash floods in Texas have killed at least 80 people, including 21 young girls from a summer camp, in a preventable and predictable natural disaster.
Scientists and weather officials were screaming from the rooftops that gutting the National Weather Service's funding would be utterly disastrous, but Trump and Elon did it anyway — and now the grim consequences are already taking their toll in lives lost.
State officials are blaming a "faulty forecast" by the National Weather Service for failing to predict how much rain would fall. With Trump's approval, Elon's DOGE fired 600 people from the NWS, leading to some field offices being no longer staffed around the clock and major cutbacks on weather balloon launches, which are vital tools for gathering data for weather forecasts.
As climate change accelerates and the frequency of extreme weather events rises, more and more innocent Americans will be paying a deadly price for Trump and Elon's reckless, incomprehensible dismantlement of the systems that keep us safe. We need to restore the lost funding to the NOAA and NWS ASAP before more lives are lost.
Demand Trump restore funding to the Weather Service before even more people die!
