Staffers from Elon Musk's "Department of Government Efficiency" (Doge) reportedly entered the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) headquarters in Maryland and the Department of Commerce in Washington, D.C., raising alarms about potential budget and staffing cuts. Witnesses described the staffers bypassing security and seeking access to NOAA's IT systems, which contain confidential information. This action aligns with the goals of Project 2025, a plan by former Trump administration officials advocating for the downsizing of NOAA, which they claim is detrimental to U.S. prosperity due to its climate science role. Critics, including former NOAA officials and environmental advocates, warn that cuts to NOAA could have severe consequences for coastal economies, fisheries, and public safety, as the agency provides critical weather forecasts and storm alerts. They argue that the lack of transparency in these actions poses a threat to the agency's mission and the communities that rely on its data. NOAA has not commented on the situation, deferring to the Department of Commerce, which has also remained silent.
