🚨 TED CRUZ SLASHED $XXX MILLION FROM WEATHER FORECASTING - JUST DAYS BEFORE TEXAS FLOODED

Over XXX dead. XX of them children.

Just days before the storm, Cruz helped gut $XXX million from NOAA’s weather forecasting budget, money meant to upgrade flood prediction models.

Mother Jones, The Guardian, and AP confirm the cuts targeted real-time alerts and climate data infrastructure.

Experts say climate change likely intensified the storm. But the very tools meant to see it coming? Defunded.

No one’s saying Cruz caused the flood.

But when you slash the warnings… and people drown?

You don’t get to act surprised.
