> Because these aren't part of a plan specifically targeting NOAA.

A 26% budget cut proposal and massive firings aren't actually an attack. Sure. Oh its not specifically targeting only NOAA, I guess that's fine then. If they were to dismantle only NOAA that'd be a problem worth concern, but because its tied up in other things too its A-OK!

> The executive branch doesn't set the budget,

Tell that to the Trump administration which seems to constantly fail to spend money budgeted by Congress while spending billions on a war Congress told him not to engage in. How's all that USAID spending going these days?

> they were caught in the blast radius of government funding shenangians in Congress

Continuing to push this lie that even the administration isn't making. They were shut down briefly because the executive stopped cutting the checks by their own admission, not because of a congressional funding shortfall. The government was fully funded in April 2025. You act like I don't have a clue while you continue on with this easily checked thing.

> No one said Project 2025 is a conspiracy theory

Its in this comment thread, just not by you I agree. Strange for you to say such an obviously untrue thing. You do end up trying to downplay its influence left and right though.

> what Conservatives do

If you think this administration is just what normal conservatives have done in past administrations you really haven't been paying attention.

> The Trump Administration _literally doesn't care_ about NOAA

You're right, they don't. They suggest they want to cut about 26% of it. They would seemingly love to never have to care about it again.

> thoughtful, constructive compromise

Thoughtful and constructive compromise about what exactly? That global warming doesn't exist? That anthropogenic climate change is a fraud?

> it derails our interventions to safe harbor the agency

Safe harboring the agency? From what? Why do you need to be worried? What is it that you're harboring it safely from? You've just told me its obviously not the Trump administration.

Quit burying your head in the sand and wake up my dude. The only reason why the DOGE cuts were unsuccessful were because people spoke up. Quit acting like the only way to ensure bad things don't happen is to be quiet about things and ignore obvious issues. If you see something bad happening, speak up.
