Congressional Republicans unveiled their new “MEGA Act” bill, which could:
❌Impose strict voter ID requirements to vote
❌Create a centralized voter surveillance system in every state
❌Ban universal mail voting
❌And much more
The kicker? These changes would happen all at once.

New GOP anti-voting bill may be the most dangerous attack on voting rights ever
The MEGA Act represents one of the most catastrophic proposals for democracy in the United States.

In 2025, departures of govt scientists outnumbered new hires by a ratio of 11 to 1. This reduction in STEM PhDs translates to 106k yrs of federal work experience across 10,000 employees. These talents will take their expertise elsewhere. Experience is indispensable.

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again.

the USA built a system of higher education so good that smart/rich people from across the world came here, spending billions to learn here, subsidizing education for Americans while spending money to live in our cities and towns. our government arbitrarily decided we should stop doing that
