We’re told that rural America doesn’t like progressive ideas. Not what I saw today at our great rally in Altoona, WI — population 9,200. People here, and across the country, understand that health care is a human right, and our economy must work for all, not just the few.

This is horrible news for numerical weather prediction in this country. The data that comes from these key parts of our weather enterprise saves lives. DOGE moves to cancel NOAA leases on key weather buildings
