Ain’t no way to meet growing demand with gas alone. We need clean that’s in the pipeline and it needs incentives to get built.

I suspect someone may have already done this... I took the current NASA Earth fleet chart of operating and planned Earth observing missions and crossed out those recommended for cancellation in the President's budget request. It's disturbing.

So let me get this straight, in the span of two days, federal agents blocked a reporter from accessing public immigration courts, barged into a congressman’s office and arrested a staff member for trying to block them, and raided a restaurant in military gear, tossing flashbangs, to arrest workers?

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd. It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

A bill to cut 13 million people off health insurance and add $5 trillion to the deficit. Tariffs that could* add a $1400 tax to every family. DOGE, rather than saving a dime, adding $135 billion in costs. Gutting hurricane and tornado forecasting abilities. Harm in so many directions.

We find that it's challenging to actually know battery supply chain dependencies on China with much specificity given publicly available information. The IRA section 30D tax incentives require companies to report on where they are getting their minerals and components.

I hope some Senate aides read our new briefer on China battery and mineral supply chain dependencies before altering IRA rules on Section 30D or 45X. Losing local content incentives and overly restrictive FEOC rules would be a huge mistake. councilonstrategicrisks.org/2025/05/30/t...

Elon's legacy ranges from gutting cancer research to setting in motion millions of deaths from starvation or disease. I'll be pushing for Congress to hold Elon & DOGE accountable—for every act of corruption, every disastrous consequence, and every law they have broken.
