That was faster than expected.

Unfortunately, being Texas I don't know if they are suing to restore the NWS or use this as an excuse to get rid of it altogether since the article doesn't clarify their desired outcome.

    They don't care. They had a press conference where they spent the whole beginning jerking off trump and cracking jokes. They gutted funding to act like they care about spending and now they'll just congratulate each other while 32 are dead and more are missing.

    Knowing Texas, they'll probably try to privatize it

    Everything trump and republicans have been doing is with the goal to privatize as much of the government as possible, to funnel taxpayer money directly into private pockets. The oligarchs want that money! They hate seeing it spent on the poors.

    They want to decimate agencies until they can't function, then use their inability to provide adequate services as the excuse to privatize, then either pay twice as much taxpayer money for the same or worse service from for-profit companies, or in some cases get rid of the services and let people fend for themselves.
