NOAA is an absolute mess, and it’ll be worse tomorrow. Please help us. There have already been over 1,000 terminations. It’s not just layoffs—Elon Musk and his staffers are trying to completely dismantle us. Today, there were tons of firings, and more are coming tomorrow.

Okay, I want to say it again for anyone who needs to hear it right now: Yes, calling is better for getting in touch with your reps. But right now? DO IT HOWEVER YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE. I'm really concerned that the emphasis on calling right now is stopping people from getting in touch.

Can't stress enough how important it is to care for our nervous systems right now and in the days, months and years to come. All of that fear and anxiety will take a toll on us. Take time to breathe, feel it and let it move through you. Even if all you can do is 5-15mins a day, that can do wonders.

I spent nearly a decade working for the federal judiciary and my colleagues there were some of the smartest, most dedicated, hardest-working people I have ever had the honor to work with. They showed up every day to an unseen job for not-great pay (comparatively, for lawyers) b/c they believed in it

Per Maddow — Musk likely had the FAA director fired because the FAA grounded SpaceX when his rocket blew up. It rained debris, putting people in danger and causing flights to be redirected. They tried to hold him accountable. He bought Trump, Trump complies. We’re all less safe because of it.

I grew up in a military family and saw first-hand a number of commanding officers who had to take responsibility for crashes that happened on their watch, even though they didn't cause it. And they certainly hadn't caused FAA staffing issues and fired the head of it. TAKE RESPONSIBILITY.

This has carryover into day-to-day litigation as well. When our leaders accept and propound “alternate facts” it gives license to everyone else to do it too, especially when there are no consequences for it. And the question for some people becomes why follow the rules when no one else is

Connecticut Attorney General William Tong, who's part of a suit against the freeze: "I do not for a second believe this threat is over."
“I do not for a second believe this threat is over. Trump’s actions caused massive confusion and chaos for Connecticut families and across every level of government and our economy. The announcements from the White House today are just more confusion and chaos. We are in court today, and we are going to stay there for as long as it takes to protect Connecticut families and our state.”

Smol tip from an elected. As a general rule we do not like to be on the wrong side of our constituents. Some are absolutely so removed that calls never filter up to them, but the vast majority of even the top level do pay attention when their staff are getting buried in angry calls. It works.
