I run an organization committed to rebuilding democratic infrastructure in Missouri.
We’re raising $150,000 to invest in local county committees all across the state. We’ve raised $124,000 and when we hit our goal we’ll receive a $50k match!

You could make an argument this narrow loss was the most important election result in modern MO history.
Once national Democrats realized they no longer needed MO to win the presidency, the money/organizational support/staffers went elsewhere. And that mattered long term.
I’ve now heard from at least a dozen friends that are being forced to go to work after testing positive for COVID-19...In case you were wondering why state & federal legislators want to give companies immunity from COVID related lawsuits.

Since Elon Musk has $44 billion to buy Twitter, could we get back the $5 billion in subsidies the taxpayers gave to Tesla Motors, SpaceX, and SolarCity since it’s clear his companies didn’t REALLY need that money cause he had it all along?
Diversity. Equity. Inclusion.
That’s what DEI stands for. It’s why you never hear Republicans actually spell it out. Because when you say “I’m opposed to diversity, equity & inclusion,” you sound like a white supremacist, which is what their entire policy agenda is built around.
They tweet this while Black men are imprisoned at six times the rate of white men in America, and we have a 1 in 3 chance of going to federal or state prison in our lifetimes…

Respect to the white dude who provided a physical barrier between him and her. We need more white folks to be like "not today" in instances like this.
Reminder: Elizabeth Warren has only run 1 TV ad in Iowa with an ad buy of < $100k and is polling in the top tier.
That should tell you all you need to know about her campaign’s organizing and engagement abilities.
Note: Only Tulsi & Castro have spent less in IA.

Take note…attendees at CPAC applauded the extermination of transgender people. They’re doing the facism right out in the open. Don’t both-sides this shit, lives are at stake.
Michael Knowles tells CPAC that "there can be no middle way in dealing with transgenderism. ... Transgenderism must be eradicated from public life entirely."
And there it is. After winning back full control of government for the first time in 40 years, Michigan Democrats just repealed the state’s 1931 abortion ban. (h/t

It’s literally hardworking Americans living with student debt, so you missed me with this backwards logic here.
If we can forgive PPP loans, we can forgive debt for the millions of Americans burdened with student loan debt. That relief will put billions back into the economy.
There is no such thing as student debt cancellation; only the transfer of that debt to hard-working Americans.
This is nothing more than a political gimmick to win votes in November.
Three attorney generals…two of whom are now senators had the power to stop this fraud scheme and did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
@HawleyMO

This is 1000% true. Most weatherization assistance comes in the form of reimbursement, so you have to have the money to spend first.
You come at the queens, you best not miss.
With so many areas needing legislators' focus, the Missouri GOP's priorities are attacking trans children and drag shows.

According to our own REPUBLICAN LED health department: Approximately 36.5% of MO counties have no hospital access. Approximately 650,991 people live in a county with no hospital, or 11% of Missouri's population total.
So like A LOT of people.
Public schools are worth defending. Public schools are worth defending. Public schools are worth defending. Public schools are worth defending. Public schools are worth defending. Public schools are worth defending. Public schools are worth defending.
When a judge concludes that you broke the law to conceal public records in order to bolster your campaign for the United States Senate…you should be thrown out of office.

Multiple things can be true at the same time. It was likely a combination of GOP extremism, the Dobbs decision, increased youth turnout, Dem economic policy & people wary of election deniers.
Everyone wants to point to one specific thing but the truth is it was several things.
Missourians need to give this hack the pink slip in November.

Where’s the middle when one side wants to burn the fags and thinks Democrats eat babies and run sex trafficking rings out of pizza parlor basements and the other side just wants Medicare for All, a wealth tax, and a Green New Deal.
I want to make it clear, in case it wasn't obvious, the shit coming out of Ben Baker's mouth is fucking racist.
Claiming that hiring & promoting people that aren't white cisgender males results in a less competent workforce is objectively false, racist, and sexist.
#moleg
Sitting Missouri state representative Ben Baker woke up last Thurs and decided to go on a radio rant about how tough it is to be a white guy.
He rambles on to explain that a less white/male workforce is a less competent workforce. His words, not mine…

I’m so tired of conservatives & republicans framing people wanting common human decency as liberal/woke indoctrination. We literally just want you to not be shitty to other people. It’s really not that hard! If you screw up, apologize and do better next time. Literally that’s it.
No matter what the Supreme Court decides, you'll need to start repaying your student loans soon.
Here's what you need to know, including how to get help.
Rich people wanna do EVERYTHING but pay their damn taxes. We don’t need you in government.
Rich people run for office as if being filthy rich means you’re good at government
No, you’re just good at exploiting people.

I mean I said something similar in 2016. George HW bush voted for the wife of the man that made him a one-term president. I thought that was all people needed to know about how awful many in the GOP thought Trump was.
Republicans in a nutshell: Absolutely excoriates Democrats for spending federal money, says they should be voted out of office. Turns around and spends that very same money to fund much needed infrastructure projects, and takes credit as if the money fell from the heavens.

You've heard about the $2.8 billion we’re investing to expand I-70 to six lanes across our entire state from STL to KC.
We know some of our critics have been saying we’re spending all this money on I-70 and nothing on Route 61 or Route 63.
Well that’s simply not true.👇

Our current Attorney General is ACTIVELY working against us.

The lawsuit, filed last month by Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey, seeks to block an income-driven repayment plan for borrowers proposed by President Joe Biden’s administration.

House Republicans just elevated a person with absolutely zero experience to be Speaker of the House, and third in line to the American Presidency.
They are fundamentally an unhinged party of incompetence and they are absolutely unfit to lead.
A former Missouri police officer has been sentenced to 7 yrs in prison for sex crimes against a minor.
His 7 yr prison sentence is suspended & he has to complete a 120 treatment program because that’ll cure him! 🙃

We need

You mean to tell me that the ORIGINAL COLONIZERS are less predisposed to violence than a class of people that were LITERALLY ENSLAVED by white people?
This is how white supremacy is perpetuated…wypipo all of a sudden believe in junk “science” if it confirms their racist biases.
Joe Biden is old and feeble?
He took a prop Marjorie Taylor Greene handed him on his way into the

The liberal New York DA overstepped his bounds with these completely outrageous, politically motivated charges. He is undermining Americans’ faith in our justice system and he should be focused on fighting crime rather than weaponizing the justice system.
Timothy Faber, the MCHR Chair, cited biblical quotes and said expanding protections for LGBTQ+ people would create too much work for his department. The worst part? This isn't the first time — the Commission has been against MONA every time it has been filed.
Flynn pleaded guilty to crimes that a federal judge characterized as selling his country out.
For a party that loves to wrap itself in patriotism and the American flag, consorting with a person who betrayed America isn’t really a good look. No?

“Only citizens should vote here in the state of Missouri.”
Republicans have controlled the legislature for > 2 decades is he suggesting all of their elections have been illegitimate up to this point?
B/c this wasn’t an issue IN ANY PREVIOUS ELECTION where they stood for office.
Nice try, but when your party openly embraces racists and white nationalists TODAY, you got no room to talk, fam.
If you’d have paid attention in history you’d know that the ideological tenets of both parties have drastically changed over the course history.
Please don’t talk to me about who fought to keep people enslaved, established Jim Crow laws, stifled the civil rights movement, formed the kkk, when you yourself align with the party guilty of all the above.
You may be familiar with her earlier work. Erin Hawley also played a significant role in reversing Roe. Hawley was co-counsel to the state of Mississippi where she coordinated the amicus briefs filed in support of the abortion ban in Dobbs. (4)
