Trump Fires Hundreds at NOAA, Guts Climate and Weather Forecasting Under DOGE
DOGE (Department of Government EXTINCTION) TRACKER UPDATE
Department of Government Extinction (DOGE) Tracker
Welcome to the Department of Government Extinction Tracker—your frontline record of the systematic destruction being carried out under Trump’s fascist regime. While they still call it the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), let’s be honest: this isn’t about efficiency. It’s about

DOGE v. Science & Research
🔴 UPDATE: February 27, 2025
The Trump administration has initiated mass layoffs at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), terminating hundreds of employees, including meteorologists, climate scientists, and emergency preparedness staff. The cuts, carried out under Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), are part of a broader purge of federal agencies involved in climate research and environmental monitoring.
🚨 Key Developments:
Mass Layoffs at NOAA and National Weather Service – NOAA has fired hundreds of probationary employees, with reports indicating deep cuts at the National Weather Service (NWS), which could disrupt forecasting and disaster response efforts.
Climate Scientists Targeted – The layoffs have disproportionately affected climate research divisions, raising fears that Trump’s administration is actively dismantling government-backed climate science.
Threats to Public Safety – With fewer meteorologists and emergency response personnel, experts warn that the U.S. is less prepared for hurricanes, tornadoes, wildfires, and extreme weather events.
🔍 Consequences:
Severe Weather Forecasting at Risk – NOAA plays a critical role in hurricane tracking, storm warnings, and disaster preparedness. Fewer staff could lead to delayed warnings and increased risks for millions of Americans.
Climate Research Gutted – This is part of a broader assault on climate science, with NOAA following the EPA and NASA in experiencing deep staffing cuts under DOGE.
Political and Legal Backlash Expected – Democratic lawmakers and scientific organizations are already pushing back, with potential lawsuits on the horizon to challenge the firings.

Join the Fight, Amplify the Truth
Because silence is surrender. We never surrender. We are #TheRelentless.
This one I really don’t get, because weather does not care about your bank account. I guess if you are rich and have insurance, a bad storm is an opportunity to redecorate.
People are going to be in harms way as a result of this.
