NOAA: No calm if you can’t see the storm coming
Meteorologists and climate scientists are raising alarms over major budget cuts proposed for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), warning they will cripple the nation’s ability to forecast and respond to extreme weather—putting lives at risk.
After a round of staff cuts in February made by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), cuts in Trump’s budget bill require NOAA to make additional reductions—slashing staff by 20% overall and cutting more than 25% of its $6 billion budget. Analysts say these cuts would roll back NOAA’s capabilities to levels not seen since the 1950s, both in its scientific footing and fiscally (even adjusted for inflation). The result: a serious threat to public safety.
Rural Health Risk
Why NYS Upstate Rural Health Care Could Collapse
Elise Stefanik and Mike Lawler’s vote for the largest Medicaid cut in history could cause rural health care in Upstate New York to “collapse” and create a “medical desert” in Stefanik’s district, according to rural doctors and community leaders. Trump’s budget cuts to Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act would devastate nursing homes, Planned Parenthood clinics, rural hospitals, and more throughout the region while ripping away coverage from 2 million New Yorkers across the state.
