"As markets slide and investors worry in response to Trump’s trade policies, a 56% majority of the public disapproves of his handling of the economy, worse than at any point during his first term in office." cnn.com/2025/03/12/pol…
The pivot from "bring down the cost of living!" to "actually, it's patriotic to pay $10 for an avocado" happened so fast, it's almost as if they were planning it all along.
Stocks going down with no fall in bond yields is a bad combination for the real economy.
David Kelly of @JPMorganAM: "The trouble with tariffs, to be succinct, is that they raise prices, slow economic growth, cut profits, increase unemployment, worsen inequality, diminish productivity and increase global tensions. Other than that, they’re fine."
Andy is a fantastic meteorologist who has worked at NHC for years, and was laid off this week because of this stupid shit. I can’t believe it, but our weather industry is in worse hands without his experience. He is helping improve hurricane forecasts. Andy, we support you!!

A new documentary on Katharine Graham reminds us of what it was like to have a person of principle and courage own the @washingtonpost. As a 20-year veteran of the Post, working for Mrs. Graham (she was always Mrs. Graham) was the honor of a lifetime. amazon.com/Becoming-Katha…
I’d like to be the first to congratulate President Trump on overseeing the 4 greatest drops in the stock market in the past 50 years. This level of commitment to failure is uncommon in a leader. MAGA!
Beyond parody — after taking a blowtorch to the federal government the Trump administration is now in court saying they can’t obey court orders because their staff has been cut 🤔
(📢) Musk just gave the game away in his interview with Rogan. He said that it's because of Social Security that "people are living longer than expected," which coupled with a lower U.S. birth rate creates a situation he finds intolerable. He is coming for your Social Security.
The AMS stands in support of federal employees impacted by layoffs across agencies including NOAA. Many are vital members of our community who do invaluable work. As we work to respond, here are a few AMS resources available to everyone who needs them: bit.ly/4kgQvK5
The GOP Budget Resolution that passed the House this week increases the debt limit from $36 trillion to $40 trillion, and spends enough $ to increase in the debt from $36 trillion to $56 trillion over the next 10 years. But yay for tax cuts! I’m the only Republican who voted no.
I am back at the US Capitol meeting with lawmakers from both sides of the aisle despite the news of the firings of 100s of meteorologists from the National Weather Service and NOAA. I’m going to continue to fight for our close-knit weather community. Everything NWS does matter!
Andy means a lot to tropical meteorology and his contributions to hurricane hunting & the HAFS model (among other things) have significantly improved our understanding of tropical cyclones. Consider donating if you can.

If you live in Florida, you know how valuable @AndyHazelton is, both as a forecaster and as someone willing to engage here during Hurricane season. I truly hope this decision gets a second look.

I was just talking about this in a post just yesterday... didn't think they would be so quick to act. Many NOAA and NWS mets are getting fired/laid off today. Real unfortunate. Not like they were understaffed and underfunded to begin with.
Much of my career was on the fed side and as a supervisor. The way this was handled – callous, cruel, and with zero discretion – to score political points is reprehensible. I'm incensed on behalf of those affected and stand with the wx enterprise in support of our fed colleagues.

Andy is just one of countless NOAA meteorologists that I rely on, as a TV met, during hurricane season. Folks, forecasting extreme wx is a team effort & NOAA is the backbone. These mass layoffs will have a big impact when it counts. And it’s life changing for these fine folks.

🚨 We're hearing Trump and Musk plan to lay off half the Social Security workforce and shutter field offices across the country. This will mean the delay, disruption & denial of benefits - a back door cut! What an insult to hard-working Americans who earned their benefits. 🚨
BREAKING—FDA suddenly cancels meeting to update next season’s flu vaccines, with zero explanations. Any delays will jeopardize next year’s vaccine supply chain.
