No nepotism there! Trump’s Sec of Defense Pete Hegseth appointed his brother to the Pentagon as a DoD liaison. Phil Hegseth’s past experience includes founding his own podcast production company and working on social media. Super qualified. 🤦‍♀️ www.defensenews.com/pentagon/202... #DemsAbroad

"Unfortunately, recent events have made me question whether NIH continues to be a place where I can freely conduct unbiased science," - NIH researcher Dr. Kevin Hall, who just resigned after his reports were censored under RFK Jr. So much winning. www.cbsnews.com/news/kevin-h... #DemsAbroad

Just in time for Earth Day! Trump budget seeks to end climate research at premier US climate agency NOAA, and NASA science programs expecting deep cuts too. www.science.org/content/arti... #demsabroad #earthday2025 #ClimateCrisis

A New Hampshire real estate attorney and American citizen returning home from Canada says he was detained at the border without an explanation and "treated like a criminal."

International tourists are opting for other destinations, leaving the United States behind, amid rising concerns over the US’s political climate, heightened border enforcement, and new visa rules. Biggest drop in history! So much winning! www.travelandtourworld.com/news/article... #DemsAbroad

Are you on social security? Then you better be on Twitter/X! The Social Security Administration Is Gutting Regional Staff and Shifting All Public Communications to X. (You think the head of DOGE is behind that?) www.wired.com/story/social...

Meet & Greet for Nanaimo Democrats Abroad Democrats Victoria, BC @demsabroadvictoria.bsky.social Landlubbers Pub Thursday, April 24, 2:00 PM PT www.democratsabroad.org/518414/meet_...

#HandsOff! Our Democrats Abroad - Canada’s Capital Region took to the street in Ottawa protest Trump. #handsoff2025 #demsabroad #votefromabroad #ottawa #canada

WOW. The grifting is wild.

These are U.S. citizens who have the RIGHT to vote, no matter where in the world they were born. This is a travesty!! @democracydocket.com @demsabroad.bsky.social @votefromabroad.bsky.social @democracynow.org @demsabroadnl.bsky.social @demsabroadfrance.bsky.social @demsabroadcanada.bsky.social

you know how badly you gotta fuck up to get TED CRUZ ***AGAINST*** YOU???

Passover is one of Judaism’s most meaningful holidays and commemorates the liberation of the Israelites from slavery in ancient Egypt. #DemocratsAbroad wishes all who celebrate a Happy Passover! #passover #americansabroad #USExpats @demsabroad.bsky.social

The in-person requirement has a far-reaching effect on overseas voters but also the poor, the elderly, and the disabled. The arguments made for this bill reek of privilege and ableism. It will go to the Senate in two weeks. Start pressuring your senators immediately. #SAVEAct #americansabroad

🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨

Absolutely. Lawrence O'Donnell exposed market manipulation on his show last night. Millions and billions were made by insider buying stocks low knowing Trump would capitulate in the wee hours. No doubt Trump scored as well. The market shot up and they raked in the loot.

A reminder that most of the 8 million Americans living abroad (among millions of others) will essentially lose the right to vote under this “law” @demsabroad.bsky.social @demsabroadcanada.bsky.social

Are you surprised? We’re surprised! Republican Senators Ted Cruz and Rand Paul come out AGAINST #TrumpTariffs. “"Tariffs are a tax on consumers, and I'm not a fan of jacking up taxes on American consumers, so my hope is these tariffs are short-lived…” abcnews.go.com/Politics/rep...

Students attending DoD schools across the world just walked out of class in a brave protest against the Trump Administration's Orwellian censorship regime. Instead of removing books from the shelves about America’s history and constitutional values, Secretary Hegseth should try reading them.

A statement from @demsabroad.bsky.social : “This order is a blatant attempt to suppress millions of absentee and mail-in votes—including those of overseas Americans.Trump vastly oversteps his authority in his attempt to overrule state and federal law…” #USExpats www.theamerican.co.uk/pr/ne-Expat-...

Market manipulation? Bernie agrees! It’s highly likely Trump and his billionaire buddies bought stocks while prices were low, before the market spiked. Knowing in advance about his tariff surrender that made the market spike afterwards. #trumptariffs #demsabroad #votefromabroad #berniesanders

Wasnt he going to fix the border??? 100 US immigration staff resigning or retiring, as well as 30 immigration judges and senior staff FIRED by the Trump/DOGE. All while there is an historic backlog of immigration cases and slowed deportations. www.axios.com/2025/03/07/i...

The U.S. stock market has lost $9.6 trillion in value since Trump took office in January 2025. Are we great yet? @demsabroad.bsky.social #votefromabroad #fafo #DemsUnited

Oh CANADA!!! #HANDSOFF #RESIST 💙

The Supreme Court is no longer supreme

BREAKING: The Supreme Court said the Trump administration can move forward with the termination of 16,000 probationary federal workers across six agencies and departments, rescinding a lower court order that they be reinstated. abcnews.go.com/Politics/sup...

After returning from another golf trip in Florida, Trump weighed in on the bipartisan criticism toward his tariff plan (which he claims will bolster the US economy), telling Americans to stop being 'Weak' and 'Stupid' amid Stock Market crash. bit.ly/4lt4sp5 #DemsAbroad

Despicable,heartless action! Trump/Republicans lack compassion & empathy.

Elon Musk is gutting vital programs & services (like @noaa.gov) and then turning Americans' loss into his own financial gain. NEW TODAY: @repjasmine.bsky.social & @connolly.house.gov are launching an investigation into Musk's obvious conflicts of interest at Dept of Commerce.

Democrats in Congress - Today, if you can, ask Mike Johnson how his deep and abiding Christian faith squares with leaving low-income Americans to freeze in their homes.

DOGE fired the entire staff of the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program, which services 6.2 million low-income households annually. They were locked out of their building after arriving to work last week. When will it end? abcnews.go.com/Health/wireS... #DemsAbroad #handsoff
