The United States was the leading destination for top scientists from all over the world.

That is ending. Politicians ended it. It will cripple our future competitiveness.

And it’s such a bitter tragedy. Almost no Americans, Conservative or Liberal, grasp what is now being stolen from them.

Your reminders:

Trump ended the National Cryptocurrency Enforcement Team which investigated crypto-related crimes like fraud and money laundering.

Trump also fired the ethics watchdog overseeing corruption in the executive branch.

This is just another Trump family scam.

Q: “There was a nonpartisan CBO report showing the bottom 10% lose $1,200 a year while the top 10% add about $13,000. Can you justify that to the poorest Americans?”

JD VANCE: “The CBO puts out reports that are atrocious.”
