Yeah, that's exactly their objective. Tear up NOAA, degrade its effectiveness, and use that to justify privatizing its functions. This would be obvious from over 40 years of Republicans using this exact tactic, but it's also explicitly spelled out in Project 2025.

Turn the hurricane season into a surprise hurricane reason! No more pesky evac orders!
