Who pays when DOGE fires NOAA Weather Forecasters? Mapping the Texas flooding tragedy.

Trump and DOGE/Musk gutted the National Weather Service and now people in Texas — including children camping — are dead and missing. 

"Just weeks ago, all five living former directors of the NWS wrote an open letter essentially begging Republicans to reinstate funding in the Big Beautiful Bill; Republicans refused. And now, as a result, we can expect to see more and more Americans die as severe weather increases, warnings vanish, and Trump redirects FEMA money into building concentration camps." - Hartmann Report

For Whom the Bell Tolls - John Donne

"No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main; if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friend’s or of thine own were; any man’s death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee."

The meaning of ‘never send to know for whom the bell tolls’ is fairly straightforward. We should feel a sense of belonging to the whole of the human race, and should feel a sense of loss at every death, because it has taken something away from mankind. The other famous phrase from this Meditation that has entered common usage is ‘no man is an island’, because no individual can subsist alone.

We need not only social company and companionship, but also an awareness of how we all have a share in the world: we are all part of the human race and the suffering and passing of another human being should affect us, not least because it is a regular reminder that one day, it will be us for whom the funeral bell is tolling. - Interesting Literature

Take Away: How are the politicians your pay with your tax dollars spending your money? Who pays the price when they put their politics over your well being? You do.

Call your MAGA rep : Hold them accountable for firing NOAA Weather Forecasters to payback their billionaire donors.
