I agree that DOGE is bad. But I also think it's unhelpful to claim evidence of a bad outcome directly caused by what they've done. It muddies the water and bolsters people who want to argue that people are only criticizing them out of bias.

If it's true that they got all the tornado warnings out because they were able to be "all hands on deck" for a night they knew would have high risk, then I think this just isn't the example of DOGE getting people killed that the article wants it to be.

I fully believe that understaffing these offices could get people killed. But we don't need to claim it did until it does.

And that doesn't mean we should wait for something awful to happen to criticize the risky situation!
