Every single word of this. We are embarrassed. We are furious. Missouri Senator Eric Schmitt is unfit for office. He’s a clown. He’s a danger to our country. And he can’t be trusted with the pile of dog shit in my backyard. His term is up in 2028.

If a candidate in your district/state is running on “my opponent wants gender mutilation surgeries for minors on the taxpayer dime” they’re not a serious candidate and they have no policy to run on. Vote for their opponent. Bring your neighbors.

In 9/2025, Missouri Republicans bent over & pushed through a gerrymandered map. They couldn’t tell you who drew it, how districts were decided, what data was used, or where the lines fell. Thank you to Rep Bosley for demanding answers. Unfortunately the submissive MO GOP had none. #MoLeg #Missouri

Pretty astounding stuff out of Missouri today. The state of Missouri argued in front of the Missouri Supreme Court that that they plan on defying court orders and MO law by placing the gerrymandered map on the November ballot even if the referendum is ruled legal. I hope everyone’s paying attention.

I will not be lectured about “supporting women” by anyone who sent “grab ‘em by the pussy” to the White House. When a man shows up to a WNBA game to taunt the women trying to play the game, he doesn’t give one shit about those women. This was never about protecting women. Period.

David Brouillette, the ICE officer who shot a Colombian man in Maine this week, has a history of violent behavior, according to family. “They accuse him of attacking women in his life, and one shared a voicemail from last winter in which he told her that he thought someone should slit her throat.”

The people who vote in our primaries and choose our nominees ARE "our resources," "our volunteers," "our infrastructure." If you don't like who wins their votes, YOU are the one who hates our party. Our party is not 250 legislators in Washingon DC. It's the millions of voters across the country.

“I’ll work with conservatives, but not Democratic Socialists” is exactly how you hand midterms over to Republicans on a silver platter.

No other peer nation allows gun violence to steal the lives of so many of their children. This crisis is uniquely American. Today on National Gun Violence Awareness Day, we #WearOrange because our children deserve to grow up without the fear of being shot.

The primary cause of preventable death from traumatic injury is blood loss, and gunshot victims can require 10Xs more blood than survivors of other traumas. The U.S. is currently experiencing a blood supply shortage, raising concerns that the decline could worsen as we enter trauma season.
