These are the people who monitor and publish Lake Superior's conditions every day. Minnesotans along the North Shore rely on NOAA to know whether or not it’s safe to go out on the water. These agencies and their staff do real work that keeps us safe, it just goes unnoticed - until they’re gone.
"Former NOAA officials told CBS News that current employees have been told to expect a 50% reduction in staff and budget cuts of 30%."

Remember when Trump froze the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law on his first day in office?   In the midst of all the chaos, that freeze is still in place and is creating real uncertainty for road projects that have already started.  When the construction drags on, you know who to blame.

I’ve been getting more calls into my office in the last week than any time I can remember. People are mad about it and they should be.

Musk is unpopular because Americans can see that he’s running rampant inside the federal government and no one believes he’s doing this to help us — he’s doing it to help himself. That’s what corruption looks like.

Just heard a Minnesota anti-hunger group that supplies food shelves with fresh, nutritious food from Minnesota farmers still can’t access federal funding. They’ve had to pause some of their work. It’s causing a lot of uncertainty for families trying to figure out how to put food on the table.

We don’t have a Senate majority, but that doesn’t mean we’re going to make this easy for them.   I refuse to sit around and let them install the architect of Project 2025 into the federal government without a fight.

Democratic senators will hold the Senate floor all night long in opposition to the nomination of Russ Vought, an organizer of Project 2025, to head the OMB.

I’m calling for Chair Crapo and Chair Scott to haul in the Treasury Secretary to answer for Musk's seizure of Americans' personal financial information. We have an oversight responsibility here that should NOT be partisan.
Tina Smith@smith.senate.govFeb 5(source)
People are pissed, and I get it. Trump and Republicans are flooding the zone to shake us up. Elon Musk and his interns are meant to make us feel powerless when we’re not. Keep calling. Call Republicans. Be specific about how these actions impact your lives.

Elon Musk is now snooping around in your family’s health insurance records at CMS. Why? Because he’s on a power trip and wants to see how he can gut their benefits under the guise that things he doesn’t like is “fraud.”

Tina Smith: "I'm sitting here and I'm thinking about what's happening at the US Treasury tonight, and it seems to be entirely possible that he's trying to distract us all from the ransacking of the Treasury Department's federal payment system that is going on right now under the thumb of Elon Musk."
Tina Smith@smith.senate.govFeb 4(source)
I’m angry about Musk’s power grab too. I hear you. I see your letters and hear your calls. I’m putting pressure on Republicans and you should be too. We’re going to use every tool in our toolbox to organize and fight this. More to come — stay tuned.

This is designed to make good, hard-working people afraid to return to work. The ones who make sure veterans get health care and farmers get disaster aid. It's not a 'fork in the road.' It's people’s livelihoods and the critical services they provide. It's not going to fly.
