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.

Denny Hoskins and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day. @peoplenotpolsmo.bsky.social #NoOnA #Missouri
Class action lawsuit filed against Missouri Secretary of State Hoskins for botching Missouri's congressional election and using an illegitimate map that favored his party and preferred candidates. youtube.com/shorts/X3LUD...
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.

!!BREAKING!! Justice Kavanaugh denies the GOP’s appeal! The legal, correct 2024 map will be used in Missouri’s November election!
Each time Missouri SOS Denny Hoskins is asked why he won’t certify the signatures, his answer is “it doesn’t make sense.” There’s whole lot that “doesn’t make sense” to our SOS who couldn’t even win 25% of the vote in his primary. That doesn’t make it unconstitutional. @peoplenotpolsmo.bsky.social
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.
One way you know Dolly Parton lived life the right way: I don’t think anyone’s going to get fired for accurately quoting Dolly Parton today.
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.
Republicans are crying about the DSA because they don’t want us talking about this. Don’t take the bait. The holidays are going to be rough this year.
By the narrowest of margins in an early morning vote, Senate Republicans capitulated to a dying administration and voted 50-49 to confirm the corrupt and unqualified Todd Blanche as United States Attorney General. apnews.com/article/sena...

All of us (being 83.3% of Missouri voters) to Missouri Governor Mike Kehoe and the Republican General Assembly last night. #MoLeg
Spent the morning greeting voters and talking with them about Mary Ann Perkins for Missouri House District 100 and @wellmanformo.bsky.social! Steady stream of voters, but very short wait times! Get out and vote! Polls close at 7pm. As long as you’re in line at 7, you can vote!! @momsdemandaction.org
Even after we submitted more than THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND signatures, Secretary of State Denny Hoskins is once again putting his political agenda before the will of Missourians. But that means he stands to lose against judicial review... again! #MoLeg @peoplenotpolsmo.bsky.social
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.

Hey Missouri, we have a real shot at finally getting rid of Ann Wagner in CD2. That opportunity is with @wellmanformo.bsky.social! I’ve always been #TeamWellman & I’m happy to talk with anyone about why. His primary opponent is highly problematic, giving me just one more reason to support Fred! 
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.
Missouri voters already settled abortion in 2024. Now politicians are dragging Amendment 3 out until November because apparently they still think if they keep asking, eventually they’ll get a different answer. Vote NO on 3 in November to STOP the abortion ban. app.sosha.ai/s/IZUl4XUf

As a former NEA president, I’m proud to endorse @rayreedmo.bsky.social , the only candidate for house district 83 who is making union rights a priority. Ray comes from a union family, and he knows that unions made the middle class.
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.
