today DOGE fired hundreds of NOAA workers. NOAA, also known as the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is in charge of the weather service. Just over 800 employees were fired, with more potentially being fired tomorrow, February 28. This is completely unacceptable. Nearly every American relies on these services in one way or another. These weather services legitimately save millions of lives per year.
Oklahoma is one of the more dangerous states in terms of natural disasters. Last year, we had 8 deaths because of tornadoes, the second highest in the country. Some of the NOAA employees in Norman were fired. We are going to start having tornadoes closer to summer, and our warnings, that we rely on, are going to be severely worse. THIS IS A BIPARTISAN ISSUE. This firing is DIRECTLY impacting one of the most red states in the country. So many people will die because of DOGE‘s carelessness. Email your representatives. They cannot continue with this if we don’t let them.
