Who needs weather forecasts
Hundreds of federal employees working for the National Weather Service and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration were among the latest to be cut by the Trump administration on Thursday.
The employees ranged from local meteorologists reporting daily weather to hurricane modeling experts.
It was unclear today if any employees working at the National Weather Service’s office in Ruskin were fired. Susan Buchanan, a spokesperson for the weather service, declined to comment on the cuts or the number of employees affected in the Tampa Bay area.
The cuts come on the heels of one of the deadliest and costliest hurricane seasons in Tampa Bay’s recorded weather history.

At the U.S. Embassy in Ottawa, a quote from former President Ronald Reagan is engraved on one wall.
“Let the 5,000-mile border between Canada and the United States stand as a symbol for the future,” Reagan said upon signing a 1988 free trade pact with America’s northern neighbor. “Let it forever be not a point of division but a meeting place between our great and true friends.”
But a point of division is here. On Tuesday, President Donald Trump plans to impose a 25% tariff on most imported Canadian goods and a 10% tariff on Canadian oil and gas. Canada has said it will retaliate with a 25% import tax on a multitude of American products, including wine, cigarettes and shotguns.
The tariffs have touched off a range of emotions along the world’s longest international border, where residents and industries are closely intertwined. Ranchers in Canada rely on American companies for farm equipment, and export cattle and hogs to U.S. meat processors. U.S. consumers enjoy thousands of gallons of Canadian maple syrup each year. Canadian dogs and cats dine on U.S.-made pet food.

The trade dispute will have far-reaching spillover effects, from price increases and paperwork backlogs to longer wait times at the U.S.-Canada border for both people and products, said Laurie Trautman, director of the Border Policy Research Institute at Western Washington University.
“These industries on both sides are built up out of a cross-border relationship, and disruptions will play out on both sides,” Trautman said.

Trump’s EV Rollback Could Cost Taxpayers $1 Billion. GSA is being forced to remove 654 EV charging stations, which totals 2,226 charging ports, and sell more than 25,000 government EVs. And in the long run the federal EV fleet was going to cost $6 billion less than a conventional combustion fleet.Comment
