People are catching on to Trump's plan to gut NOAA and commercialize its weather forecasts, but Dharna Noor wrote about it in the spring. This is terrifying stuff.

@davidho It’s a bit of a conspiracy theory.
If nothing else, to be clear, the president doesn’t have the authority to just turn off the NOAA unilaterally.
And so all of these breathless headlines are just dumb. They’re just sensationalized, and misreporting to their readers.
@thedansimonson contrary to so much reporting, that people really shouldn’t be listening to, what the Supreme Court said was that the president can do legal things.
That’s it.
If something is illegal, the president can’t do it. That’s what they said, and in their opinion they went on at length talking about how the president is absolutely subject to prosecution for doing illegal things.
There has been so much misreporting about what the Supreme Court ruled, but in the end it was purely a procedural ruling, saying that you can’t charge someone for doing illegal things if the things aren’t illegal. That’s it.
Y’all need to stop listening to these sensationalized outlets.
