What's the weather like in your area? Chances are you took a look at your preferred weather app on your phone before heading outside.
We can find that information easily because of weather data that comes from the National Weather Service. It's a part of the federal agency NOAA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
The Trump Administration plans to cut billions of dollars from NOAA in its upcoming 2026 budget plans.
The cuts could result in a remaking of the agency and eliminate much of the research it conducts that Americans use every day.
We discuss how the loss of NOAA could affect our day to day.

The Daily Signal - BONUS: ‘Most People Fired Me.’ Tucker Carlson Opens Up 2 Years After Fox Breakup
It has been two years since Tucker Carlson answered a call on a Monday morning in late April to learn that Fox News had canceled his show.
“I got fired from Fox for saying things they didn't like,” Carlson told The Daily Signal during an exclusive interview at The Heritage Foundation's Annual Leadership Conference.
“That's all right, you know, it's not my company,” Carlson said of his ousting from Fox, adding, “I wasn't one of those people like, ‘you can't fire me.’ It's like, of course you can fire me!”
Fox was not the first major network to end its relationship with Carlson.

CoinDesk Podcast Network - THE MINING POD: The Rise and Fall of Bitcoin Mining in Kazakhstan w/ Didar Bekbau
Kazakhstan was once the second largest bitcoin mining hub in the world, but now it’s a shadow of its former self.

Welcome back to The Mining Pod! Today, Didar Bekbau, CEO of Xive, joins us to analyze Kazakhstan's Bitcoin mining industry. Following China's 2021 mining ban, Kazakhstan briefly captured 15-18% of global hashrate, making it the second largest mining hub in the world, before government restrictions devastated the sector. Didar explains how aging Soviet-era infrastructure couldn't handle the surge, triggering a power price tax hike that drove miners to Russia and the US. He also explores whether Kazakhstan's energy-rich landscape might someday welcome miners back with proper planning and infrastructure investment.
# Notes:
- Kazakhstan peaked at 18% of global hash rate (2021)
- Mining capacity dropped from 1600MW to ~200-400MW
- Electricity tax reached $0.05-0.06 per kWh
- Russia became primary destination for fleeing miners
- Many miners relocated equipment to US and Russia
- Grid infrastructure dated from 1960s-1980s Soviet era
