NOAA launches the weather balloons, floats the ocean buoys, flies the satellites, and staffs the forecasters that tell us when storms are coming. That data supports about two-thirds of the economy, roughly $1.3 trillion a year, and it paid us back $73 for every dollar we spent on it.

Trump said deportations would lead to more jobs for American citizens.
But according to new research, his cruel immigration raids actually COST jobs, including those held by American citizens.
This was never about “protecting American workers.”
It was always about racism and cruelty.
