The National Weather Service is no longer providing language translations of its products, a change that experts say could put non-English speakers at risk of missing potentially life-saving warnings about extreme weather. The weather service has “paused” the translations because its contract with the provider has lapsed, NWS spokesperson Michael Musher said. He declined further comment. Lilt, an artificial intelligence company, began providing translations in late 2023, replacing manual trans

NASA terminated $420 million in “unneeded contracts,” according to the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), an entity established by executive order to slash costs across the federal government. The hundreds of millions in contracts are just the latest in a slew of cuts put into effect since the second Trump administration began in January. Many of the cuts have come in the form of layoffs, canceled grants, and terminated programs in the federal government’s science-focused agencies—from

You would think the Department of Government Efficiency, the agency that is supposedly auditing the entirety of the federal government for “waste,” would know to keep its receipts in order. And yet, for some reason, the agency has repeatedly had to pull examples of so-called savings down after it was revealed that it actually didn’t save taxpayers anything.
