Friend, The New York Times reports that U.S. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross threatened to fire top federal officials after the National Weather Service contradicted President Trump’s untrue and preposterous claim that Hurricane Dorian threatened Alabama. Wilbur Ross must go. Add your name now. This is as basic as it gets: The Commerce Secretary orders top officials at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, which houses the National Weather Service, to lie about the weather or be fired. That alone is enough. Ross has to go. Of course, there are plenty of other reasons: He has huge conflicts of interest. He falls asleep in meetings. He authorized the unconscionable effort to include a citizenship question on the census — designed to deter recent immigrants from responding. Wilbur Ross never should have been confirmed. Now this man must be thrown out of office. Join the call. Onward, Robert Weissman
