Where is Ann Wagner? She can't run on her 14 year record. She can't run on the economy. She can't talk about what she has done for the district. All these years she counted on gerrymandering and an R next to her name. Now she is in trouble and all she can do is smear me. It won't work.

I missed this in the now officially-competitive #MO02 House race. A GOP firm (no clue on how reliable they are) found an essentially tied race. How delicious would it be if Missouri wound up with a 5-3 map after aiming for a 7-1 map? @fpwellman.bsky.social www.firstalert4.com/2026/09/26/p...

Ann Wagner has been in office 14 years. She hasn’t defended her record as a member of Congress this entire election. She has attacked me. She has lied about how she has helped “middle class families.” She has said she’s just getting started. She has never held a town hall. She hasn’t debated.

I had so much fun at the Greentree Festival in Kirkwood where I grew up! So many friends stopping by to say hello! Thank you to all of our volunteers and Team Wellman staff that hung out in the heat! Got to hang with my friend Mark Boyko and the amazing Bonhomme Democrats! We’re not done yet!

This is corruption beyond measure. A Russian oligarch paid for the President’s son to party on a private island. Hunter Biden got a board seat and the Republicans went after him for years. This is literally the enemy that is killing Ukrainians and helping Iran target our men and women.

Don Jr. and Bettina Trump say a Russian oligarch "very generously hosted" a wedding celebration and it was "an extraordinary wedding gift from a friend" that shouldn't be "recast as something political or sinister." This "dear friend," meanwhile, is someone Eric Trump insists he's never heard of.

Apparently our wedding is making headlines again, so a little clarity seems in order. Don and I got married privately on Friday, surrounded ONLY by our family. It was intimate, deeply personal and one of the most beautiful days of our lives. The weekend that followed had actually been planned well in advance as a fun weekend with friends. It was never intended to be our wedding weekend. When our original wedding plans changed, we simply decided to get married before it and arrived at an already planned weekend as newlyweds. Our dear friend Umar very generously hosted two incredible nights of celebrations for us AFTER our wedding. It was an extraordinarily generous wedding gift from a friend, and something for which we were and remain incredibly grateful. It’s unfortunate that something so personal and happy can be recast as something political or sinister simply because of who someone is or where they come from. Friendship doesn’t require a political motive. Generosity doesn’t automatically come with an agenda. And sometimes a wedding gift is simply a wedding gift. We are fortunate to have wonderful friends from all over the world, and we will never be embarrassed or apologetic about being grateful for them. So, for anyone determined not to let the facts get in the way of a good story: NO CONSPIRACY , NO MYSTERY. Just a private family wedding, a wonderful weekend with friends and one hell of a party❣️ And since fake news travels fast, we figured the truth deserved a few pictures With love and gratitude, Don & Bettina

We are now one of the most competitive races in the country. I’ve been building the campaign and plan to beat Ann Wagner all along. Now we have a map she desperately wanted to throw away. We are ready to flip this seat. Join us!

Dolly Parton logged a combined total of 115 years of union membership. Throughout her working life, the “9 to 5” singer/songwriter carried the union cards of two major unions: The American Federation of Musicians Local 257 in Nashville — for 58 years. SAG-AFTRA — for 57 years. HAPPY LABOR DAY!

John Nichols: She carried two union cards, sang Woody Guthrie songs and mocked the bosses in "9 to 5."

Always good to be back with the Tesson Ferry and Lemay Dems! Fred joined Meredith Sumenek, Cathy Summers, and Rep. Michael Burton tonight to talk about the work ahead to turn out Democrats across South County. South County is ready to flip some seats. Let’s get it done. #MO02

It was a pleasure to sit down with Senator Slotkin this afternoon and talk about our race for Congress and what midwestern service oriented candidates bring to the table. Looking forward to getting the opportunity to work with her more as we take back Washington D.C.

Thanks to Senator @elissaslotkin.bsky.social for making the trip here from Michigan and showing up for Democrats fighting to win across the Midwest. We know what it takes to compete: be present, listen, and never write off a community. Grateful to have her here as we fight to flip #MO02.

It's been 24 hours. Three debates. We're flexible on everything. She hasn't answered.

Today I challenged Ann Wagner to three debates before November 3rd. Any date. Any location in the district. Any moderator Missouri newsrooms want to put in the chair. Thirteen years in Washington. She owes this district three hours. #TeamWellman #Missouri #StLouis @fpwellman.bsky.social

Constant corruption is costing taxpayers. The company they bought the useless jets from was a donor to Kristi Noem. Yes, corruption is hurting working Americans. The Republican Congress doesn’t care. — Homeland Security Paid $464M for Airplanes. Then It Parked Them. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/13/u...

Homeland Security Paid $464 Million for Airplanes. Then It Parked Them. (Gift Article)

The agency used a no-bid contract to buy 10 used jets, saying they were urgently needed for deportation flights. But the fleet has largely sat idle for months.
