Texas Officials Slam Trump’s National Weather Service for Bad Forecast (archive.is)

Officials in Texas are casting blame on the National Weather Service (NWS) for failing to forecast catastrophic flooding that has killed 24 people.

NWS was among the government agencies targeted by the Trump administration in its effort to gut the federal bureaucracy, losing approximately 600 staffers.

After the cuts, the agency—which was already understaffed—began to prepare to offer “degraded” forecasting services, facing “severe shortages” of meteorologists, according to an internal document obtained by The New York Times in April.

All this was in Project 2025. We were shouting it from every fucking mountain top. I posted to multiple times to my Facebook. I texted it to all my friends. I begged them to read it to know what would happen if the GOP and Trump got in office. The only response I got from any of them them was from one dude I grew up with who said, " what about the babies." Well there are 23 little girls gone because they got no warning. What about those babies? Oh that is right, they were already born so they don't count.
