You probably failed at "building bridges" if millions of people think that your life's work was destructive and terrible and if your supporters have to threaten people to keep them quiet about said legacy.

During a recent meeting with senior staff at OPM, one staffer screamed, “Idiots!” Reports and recordings of these incidents are being shared online, exposing an alarming level of disrespect and a hostile work environment.

Musk’s team—Christopher Young, Nikhil Rajpal, and Gavin Kliger—is currently at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). This move comes just months after Musk posted “Delete CFPB” on his X social media platform.

Maybe we’re just bad at math. Seems like this whole “DOGE saving America money” thing is a hoax. Facts matter.

Yet, you’re proposing $350 billion for immigrant detention facilities, deportation raids, and national security priorities, plus another $175 billion for Trump’s wall. Looks like we’re heading even deeper into debt. Care to explain?

I believe the Hamilton quote goes something like this: “Our poorest citizens, our farmers, live ration to ration, while Wall Street (Musk) robs ’em blind in search of chips to cash in.”

Trump, Vance, and Musk are pushing to rehire a staffer who resigned after being called out for a social media account with a history of racist posts. “To err is human, to forgive divine,” Elon Musk said in defense of the move. No—it’s not err; it’s racism. No excuses.

We need to call out the blatant lie being pushed by the Trump administration—that Elon’s staffers have only “read-only” access. It has been confirmed across departments that they have “administrative” access to computer systems.

Why is this important? The chairman stepped down on January 20 and was not replaced by an acting chairman until after a major crash. This is not only a blatant conflict of interest but also a situation where Musk’s actions may have contributed to the loss of American lives.

We are alarmed by the Administration’s actions to freeze science funding and eliminate DEI efforts and climate change initiatives, which go against AGU’s mission and harms our members. We must unite to address these changes, beginning by hearing from you.

I've done a in-depth evaluation of ChatGPT Deep Research. Top-line finding: It's much better than 4o, but 4o was terrible at research. I still get the sense that no scientists were consulted in the design, or if they were, they weren't listened to. It gives answers rather than discussing evidence. 🧪

Censor CDC scientists and ask them to withdraw papers from medical journals?
This is not how it works, Mr President.
