'Must be stopped': Dems say over 800 fired from top weather agency amid DOGE audits
Fox News
Over 800 National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration employees were fired Thursday, according to Democratic Sen. Maria Cantwell, D-Wash.
"The firings jeopardize our ability to forecast and respond to extreme weather events like hurricanes, wildfires and floods — putting communities in harm’s way," Cantwell added. Aubrie Spady is a Writer for Fox News Digital.
Sen. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., in a post on X Thursday, seconded Cantwell's claim, writing, "Today, we learned that Trump and Musk are firing HUNDREDS of vital NOAA employees — another blatantly illegal action that must be stopped."
