LOL If Biden was still in the white house you'd be losing every last piece of shit that you had stored in your colon. Seriously, who defunds NOAA?

I agree it is a tragedy and probably could not have been prevented but what on earth was Kristi Noem doing there?

Was she going to round up all the brown skinned rescuers?

FNRL More rehiring coming up, eh. --- The Washington Post reports that “across the government, the Trump administration is scrambling to rehire many federal employees dismissed under DOGE’s staff-slashing initiatives after wiping out entire offices, in some cases imperiling key services such as weather forecasting and the drug approval process.” For example, in May, the Food and Drug Administration started sending ridiculously euphemistic emails to fired staff that read, “Notice of Reduction in Force (RIF) issued to you…is officially RESCINDED [and] you will not be separated from employment,” according to the Post, which reviewed the message. “You are expected to return to duty the next business day following your receipt of this notice.”

Other agencies, like the USDA, have similarly attempted to reverse their firings; for instance, a safety inspector told the Post that he was called one weekend and told he was being fired over “performance”—despite his having received positive reviews—only to be told days later that his termination was being canceled. Thousands of probationary employees with the Internal Revenue Service were similarly dismissed for fake “performance” matters, until the agency “reversed course and told them to show up to work in late May.” Staffers at the US Agency for International Development—which was wholesale gutted by Musk in February—opened their inboxes this month and found “an unexpected offer: Would you consider returning—to work for the State Department?”

Fire now rehire later. Unthinking action like DOGE's was pretty good at creating waste of time and effort.
