Missouri lawmakers tried to rig democracy. Voters torched the plan. Amendment 4 would’ve forced ballot initiatives to win in all 8 congressional districts, a rigged system designed to kill citizen power. They said no. Hard. Power to the people. Keep the momentum going into November!

Artist Betye Saar passed away on July 26th, four days before turning 100 years old (1926 -2026). Saar was a leading figure of the 1970s Black Arts Movement. Through visual storytelling, Saar’s assemblage work often confronts American racism, colonialism, and stereotypes of Black people in America.

MAGA is, without the slightest exaggeration, the single most abysmally dense, mind-numbingly vacant, and breathtakingly ignorant cult of non-thinking, saliva-soaked, evolutionarily ass-backwards imbeciles ever to lurch, drool, and desecrate the face of this planet.

Had an opportunity to hang again with the next senator from Louisiana today. This guy, this farmer, has his act totally together. A a successful agricultural businessman, taxpayer, and employer from Watercolor, Louisiana. We can flip this seat. Need your help. Jamie Davis for US Senate.

Marco Rubio is against birthright citizenship. But Marco Rubio *is* a birthright citizen. Ted Cruz is against birthright citizenship. But Ted Cruz was born in Canada. He only got US citizenship by a birthright citizenship law because of his US mother. They are both shameless hypocrites.

Jamie Davis for US Senate and Lauren Jewett to take Steve Scalise's seat in Louisiana's First District. If there was ever a year to pull this off, we're living it now. Volunteer, write a check, talk them up. Time is short. Show the others just exactly what democracy looks like.
