Schumer requests probe into NWS staffing and flood response - NWS defends its forecasting amid criticism from Texas officials
- Trump denies federal cuts affected NWS disaster response
- DOGE initiative led to early retirements at NWS
- NWS San Antonio office faced staffing vacancies during flood
WASHINGTON, July 7 (Reuters) - The U.S. Senate’s top Democrat on Monday asked a government watchdog to investigate whether cuts at the National Weather Service affected the forecasting agency’s response to catastrophic and deadly flooding in Central Texas.
Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer asked the Department of Commerce’s acting inspector general Monday to probe whether staffing vacancies at the NWS’s San Antonio office contributed to “delays, gaps, or diminished accuracy” in forecasting the flooding. He asked the watchdog to scrutinize the office’s communications with Kerr County officials.
The NWS did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Schumer’s letter. It defended its forecasting and emergency management before, during and after the flood, in a statement Sunday.
A top three leadership role at the NWS’s San Antonio office has been vacant since earlier this year after Paul Yura, the U.S. forecasting agency’s warning coordination meteorologist for San Antonio, accepted an offer from the Trump administration to retire.
They’re just having the deaths they voted for, Chuck.
Waggle your finger at the Nazis a little harder, Chuckles. Maybe this time they’ll stop.
asked the Department of Commerce’s acting inspector general
Yeah, he knows full well that the stooge who the Mango Mussolini appointed explicitly to carry out his own will won’t cooperate.
He’s just trying to cover his own useless ass by pretending to do ANYTHING to resist the fascist machine while not pissing off the rich owner donors and other conservatives in charge of the Dem leadership.
Oh look, now Schumer wants to do something. How cute.
Let him run around and do nothing as usual while he gets primaried

Chuck you know what the fuck happened. Stop virtue signaling like your doing something. They defunded the NWS you fucking ghoul
Lol doesn’t matter what he wants: no one is going to approve it.
Oh well shit, if noted Trump Ally Chuck Schumer’s on the case I’m sure things will get better.
“Now is not the time to make this political”
-every single qon voter and politician
What’s a “qon voter”
Qanon conservative.
we will investigate ourselves and find no wrongdoing
Maybe instead we should probe Hunter Biden and Hilary Clinton.
At least get Hunter’s dong in the Congressional record.
Who?
Hunter Biden and Hillary Clinton.
Mmmmmnnnnot ringing any bells.
Yeah what this?
The first one sounds like muzzles for overly aggressive dogs and the other sounds like a mid at best hotel trying to act fancy
“I have to put a hunter biden on Snookums every time I take him for a walk now. I really hope that pet therapist knows what to do”
“I’m staying at the Hillary Clinton by the airport. It’s clean and has a business center, I guess, but you can tell that they skimped on the mattresses”
The Hillary Clinton smells like a harbor at low tide.
Happy cake day SatansMaggotyCumFart!
Is that a club
