Because of cuts to the National Weather Service, western #Alaska was devastated by #Typhoon #Halong. More than 49 towns have been evacuated, a difficult thing in that region.

North Carolinians just got Medicaid expansion. Now it’s jeopardized. – The Washington Post

North Carolina was the most recent state to expand Medicaid. Now enrollees face changes demanded by Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill.
Yesterday at 6:00 a.m. EDT, 9 min By Paige Winfield CunninghamSTOVALL, N.C. — Roughly 650,000 people here have signed up for Medicaid since the legislature expanded it 18 months ago — the culmination of a years-long effort in this politically split state. But now they are in danger of losing it under provisions in President Donald Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act.
In signing that law, Trump approved more than $900 billion in cuts to Medicaid over the next decade.
Those cuts are colliding with state budget challenges, imperiling the future of Medicaid in states such as North Carolina.
A Rural Health Group clinic serves many patients on Medicaid in Stovall.Devdutta Sangvai, the state’s top health official, told legislators in a letter last week that North Carolina will slash Medicaid payments to doctors, hospitals and other providers starting Oct. 1. He attributed the cuts to the GOP-led legislature declining to fully fund the program. New administrative costs to restrict eligibility under the federal law are among the long-term factors that risk “a fundamental erosion of the NC Medicaid program,” he wrote.
“Despite careful efforts to minimize harm, the reductions now required carry serious and far-reaching consequences,” Sangvai wrote. He said that reduced rates “could drive providers out of the Medicaid program, threatening access to care for those who need it most.”
Republican leaders have pushed back, suggesting that health officials could have found less disruptive ways to trim Medicaid spending.
Cuts to Medicaid affect more North Carolinians than ever before. The state’s Medicaid rolls swelled nearly 30 percent, to 3 million people, after state Republicans dropped their decade-long opposition to expanding the program under the increasingly popular Affordable Care Act and worked with Democrats to broaden eligibility.
Before that expansion, Medicaid mainly covered people with low incomes who were disabled, had dependent children or were pregnant. But now, in most states, just about anyone earning up to 138 percent of the federal poverty threshold ($22,000 for a single person and $44,000 for a family of four) is eligible.

‘A disaster for all of us’: US scientists describe impact of Trump cuts
President’s assault on science –particularly climate science – has led to unprecedented funding cuts and staff layoffs
By Nina Lakhani, Sun 20 Jul 2025 07.00 EDT
“Our ability to respond to climate change, the biggest existential threat facing humanity, is totally adrift,” said Sally Johnson, an Earth scientist who has spent the past two decades helping collect, store and distribute data at Nasa (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) and Noaa (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration).
Donald Trump’s assault on science – but particularly climate science – has led to unprecedented funding cuts and staff layoffs across federally funded agencies and programs, threatening to derail research tackling the most pressing issues facing Americans and humanity more broadly. A generation of scientific talent is also on the brink of being lost, with unprecedented political interference at what were previously evidence-driven agencies jeopardizing the future of US industries and economic growth.
Johnson was among scores of scientists conducting vital research across a range of fields from infectious diseases, robotics, education, computer science and the climate crisis, who responded to a Guardian online callout to share their experiences about the impact of the Trump administration’s cuts to science funding.
Many said they had already had funding slashed or programs terminated, while others fear that cuts are inevitable and are beginning to search for alternative work – either overseas or outside science. So far, the cuts have led to a 60% reduction in Johnson’s team, and fear is mounting over the future of 30 years of climate data and expertise as communities across the country are battered by increasingly destructive extreme weather events.

"We have the right to expect our government to do that. We have the right to go out and put together a sandwich and have it not kill us. That's a fundamental right, and the country is stronger when that right is in place.
