AI chatbots are increasingly being used by online users as fact-checking tools. But incorrect answers by ChatGPT and Grok are misleading users about the origin of photos showing National Guard troops, sent to Los Angeles during the recent unrest, sleeping on floors.

Climate.gov, a major US government website supporting public education on climate science, will likely shut down after almost all of its staff were fired. What would be worse is if the website were co-opted to publish climate denial content.

Being undocumented is NOT a criminal offense. Yet DHS are hunting down farm workers like they’re criminals. Using our Federal dollars.
