The St Charles, MO election results are a clear rejection of the insane right. The reasonable candidates won in the Republican primaries for county executive and director of elections. AM4 and AM5 went down in flames by margins similar to the statewide vote. Nick Schroer/Bill Eigle politics is dead.
MO SOS Hoskins rejected a referendum on a 2025 map aimed at ousting @cleaver.house.gov. It's a decision that's not unexpected and will be challenged in court. And if Hoskins is wrong... some election officials have broached the possibility of redo congressional primaries in the fall:
Hoskins rejects Missouri congressional redistricting map referendum, setting up court fight
The GOP Secretary of State’s decision was expected. Proponents of placing the GOP-leaning map up for a statewide vote will go to court to put a vote on the plan on the November ballot.

🚨BREAKING: Nearly a year after voting advocates launched a campaign to prevent a GOP gerrymander from taking effect in Missouri, Secretary of State Denny Hoskins officially blocked the citizen-initiated referendum on the new map from appearing on the ballot. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Missouri blocks anti-gerrymander referendum from November ballot in attempt to silence voters
Voter advocates are expected to immediately challenge the move and ask the courts to ensure that Missouri voters have the final say on the map.

Yes, #3 has been firmly rejected by the courts—and Missouri voters even overturned a congressional map at the ballot box in the 1920s! But it would bog things down in further legal challenges, which Republicans would prefer if they can't nuke the referendum outright.
Just utter horseshit. The MO GOP is a stain on democracy. The disdain they have for the people knows no limits.

well he decided that the whole map referendum process was unconstitutional bc the date requirements don't make sense and the constitution gives the map power to the legislature, not the people. we won't get to vote on the maps at all. just utter BS. complete contempt for the people of MO.
They are rejecting the referendum and keeping the gerrymandered map. They are saying that the referendum is unconstitutional. They are saying the people do not have the power of referendum over maps. They are rejecting ip2026-16 at the same time. They are not saying how many signatures.

🔥 Here's Whitehouse's entire remarkable speech opposing Blanche: "What's left of this committee when we don't demand straight answers? How many times has DOJ been asked what became of the $50k that the FBI reported it handed to Homan? ... our R colleagues see no evil, hear no evil, & speak no evil."

We see this in politics as often as we do in economics. As people grasp for a populist message that relieves the masses of any responsibility for the problems of the current system, they remove individual agency and "systemness" from the analysis. Thus, they also remove our capacity to enact change.
Amanda Mull@amandamull.bsky.social · 3d agothere is a strain of lefty discourse where you can’t come to any unflattering conclusions about the populace—those must be explained away by how they are being acted upon by capital—but I think you’ll understand things better if you understand capital can also exploit weaknesses it didn’t create

it’s never a great sign for your society when all the competent people who believe in doing a good job for the sake of it conclude that they’re actively being punished for these qualities, while malignantly stupid criminals are making bank

The Prairieland case is a perfect example of the "burn down a walmart" theory of change when you attempt to put it into action. Song says he intended it to be a warning shot, but you can't control what the bullet does after a warning shot. Don't fire at all. www.liberalcurrents.com/prairieland-...
“Trump has rejected disaster aid for Democratic-run states at the highest rate in the 47-year history of the Federal Emergency Management Agency.” Right now people in blue states are basically paying federal taxes as if they’re colonized territories of red states. www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

once again, all dylan mulvaney did was exist in public as a trans person. that's all most of us do. that's enough to make a lot of people hate us. giving any credence to that hate, that we're doing something wrong just by existing, is so fucked and yet so many supposed allies cannot see that

Stephen Miller said just the other day that all asylum claims are "fake." A couple deported from the U.S. to Guatemala were gagged, bound, and shot dead. Their 14-month old found crying next to their mother's body. People like Miller don't care though because this is the point: ethnic cleansing.

So much for "merit-based." The Trump administration has now admitted it canceled clean energy grants based on how states voted in 2024. Weaponizing taxpayer dollars to punish political opponents is a blatant abuse of power and an attack on our democracy.
The fact that this guy had a self destruct code enabled and actually used it is some insane spy-movie shit. Good for him. But this is 100% a milkshake duck. You don't setup phone self destruct as a normal person.
