The claim is false and we should absolutely be careful about how we word things but also the outcome will be, as you say, essentially the same.

“…reminder that Project 2025 plans to defund large sections of the NOAA and is more worried about how facts ruin their arguments than the safety of your towns and cities.”

A little longer but at least it’s true.

This is only half the picture. The other half is the repeal of schedule f (I think) where the federal government hires people to serve as experts of a subject rather than working for the administration. Project 2025 wants to reclassify thousands of government jobs to allow them to be appointed but the president. Imagine NOAA, not gone, but rather ran by maga loyalists or scientists who have to shut up or lose their jobs. And tons of other places too like the epa, OSHA, nrc, and more

Wonderful! Jesus Christ I can never quite understand the capacity for evil so many people have. Absolutely vile.
