Landsat could use your support. The mission's 50+ year data continuity is at risk. If you believe contacting elected representatives does anything, now would be a good time to apply pressure. 🛰️📡

I feel like this guy’s messaging is on point. I am upset that folks voted for Trump but we can’t ostracize those that are finally realizing his false promises.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.

Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.

Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

A closer look at federal records shows Musk’s claims are vastly overstated, and the $55 billion figure lacks any real documentation. Share to help stop the spread of misinformation.

The dozens of individuals who work under, or advise, Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency are a real-life illustration of Musk’s web-like reach in the tech industry.

But who are the individuals in Musk’s inner circle and how did they get there?

The judge had issued a temporary restraining order against an administration plan to freeze payments for grants and other federal programs, but says the administration has not been fully complying.

I can independently confirm Wired's reporting here, as I was working with @marisakabas.bsky.social to track down this engineer. Marisa heard that Nikhil Rajpal was given full access to the NOAA system with a NOAA email from sources today.

Rajpal has DC roots. His X account is private: x.com/nikrdc

While Trump has been distracting America with everything else, Elon Musk’s staffers are quietly taking over NOAA and the Department of Labor. They are also using AI to help rewrite a significant portion of the federal government’s computer systems.

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it.

Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice.

But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word.

They aren’t firing for a reason.
