One heard deGrasse Tyson explain it as - the defunding Trump has done today will show itself years from now. Scientists leave, research ends, other funding ends - and all these go Elsewhere, for some Other country's innovation windfall. You don't sow, you don't harvest, you don't eat. #SCIENCE

“We’ve got the world’s biggest economy, not because of real estate developers but because of science and decades and decades of the federal gov’t investing…some in gov’t don’t believe in science and don’t believe in the investments to stay in that leadership position.” -Sen Mark Kelly #DemsAbroad

Trump screams about foreign election interference & disinformation, but he has depleted gov’t ability to combat it by cutting resources that fought foreign influence. More than 500 staff members, roughly 30% of its workforce was cut by The Director of National Intelligence. @demsabroad.bsky.social

Less than a month before Alaska's August primary, the state removed up to 3,500 voters after flagging them as noncitizens. However, some of those people were eligible voters, including a few who presented the type of proof of citizenship championed in the anti-voter SAVE America Act.

Marc Elias from Democracy Docket: Trump cannot cancel elections but he can try to make it harder for people to vote and easier for the GOP to cheat. That includes misuse of the federal government and inciting his MAGA mob of election vigilantes. We need numbers too big to rig! VoteFromAbroad.org

We get asked this a lot…why won’t Republicans stand up to Trump and his craziness? The answer…he threatens to not support them, and his base votes the way Trump wants them to. Look over these stats on Trump’s endorsements. 🧵 @demsabroad.bsky.social #TrumpRegimr

“This November, vote like the border depends on it, it does….Stop waiting for Canada to get over it. They won’t, and they shouldn’t. The empty shelf isn’t a tantrum. It’s the last polite warning a polite country knows how to give…It’s respect. A sovereign country. An equal. Not the 51st anything.” 🧵

Have you lost track of what’s happening with the SAVE Act? Republicans know it will never pass on its own so they are attaching it to other bills. House Republicans passed two bills that contained all or part of it. Now to the senate. Now let’s call your senators to #StoptheSAVEAct! #DemsAbroad

Bad News: Republicans are trying to pass a law upholding Trump’s Birthright Citizenship EO. Good News: Trump lost the birthright citizenship case on constitutional grounds, which means any federal law repeating the already rejected position would also be unconstitutional. 🧵 @demsabroad.bsky.social
