Members reportedly sought access to IT systems at agency that Project 2025 has called ‘harmful to US prosperity’

Summary

Elon Musk’s staffers entered NOAA and the Department of Commerce without clearance, raising concerns over budget cuts and downsizing.

Project 2025, a conservative plan linked to former Trump officials, calls for dismantling NOAA, citing its climate research as harmful to U.S. prosperity.

Critics warn such cuts could impact weather forecasting, ocean conservation, and fisheries.

NOAA declined to comment, while experts fear an aggressive strategy to weaken the agency before legal challenges can halt changes.

    question.

    instead of protesting at the capitals of our states – why don’t we protest at the HQs of these departments to stop these assholes from getting inside?

    lots of benefits

    • heightened on-site security
    • lots of witnesses
    • impenetrable wall of pissed off Americans
    • angry mob to deport illegal South Africans

    I mean…has nobody thought of this yet?

    it would at least slow the fucker down, and it’s not like we don’t know what these shitheels look like.

    just 24 hour, round-the-clock, protests to keep the jackals at bay.
