By 60-Point Margin, Missouri Voters Reject GOP Push to Make Ballot Measures Harder to Pass Voters also rejected an amendment that would have gradually eliminated the state’s income tax in what one Democratic mayor said would benefit the wealthy “while raising costs on hardworking families.”

By 60-Point Margin, Missouri Voters Reject GOP Push to Make Ballot Measures Harder to Pass | Common Dreams

Missouri voters deliver a resounding rejection of GOP-backed measures, protecting their rights and standing up against special interests. Will this wave of defiance continue in November's election?

It’s bad. Ukraine is still effectively hitting both inside Russia and occupied Crimea almost daily, but Putin (as usual) is targeting population centers instead of legitimate military targets.

Former public health official Abdul El-Sayed has achieved a dominant win in Michigan’s Democratic primary for U.S. Senate on Tuesday, winning by a narrow margin over Rep. Haley Stevens in a ground-shaking triumph over the $60 million spent by AIPAC and corporations to oppose him.

The result represents a seismic win for the growing progressive wing of the Democratic Party.

BIG: Kansas just rejected a ballot measure that would have required state Supreme Court justices to be elected rather than appointed by the governor — dealing another setback to Republicans trying to overturn a decision that established a constitutional right to abortion.

MacFarlane: I think it's an anti-establishment era we may be entering here. Look at all the different ways in which people are bucking against establishment. If El-Sayed is somebody who channels people who don't want the establishment to run and to reign, he's going to have a big night…

honestly can't stress enough, as a former family law attorney, how depressingly common Max Miller's behavior and words are, right down to the petty fixation on custody procedure and rules when faced with allegations of shocking violence.

Rep. Max Miller: "When I was reported for child abuse of my daughter for a broken collarbone, my daughter was in my ex-wife's care 9 out of the last 11 days and she took her to the emergency room, which is a contempt violation from our shared parenting plan."

This is why this is not just about Max Miller. It’s about “devout Christian” House Republican leadership who is standing with this guy because they crave power above all else. It’s the culture of MAGA and it comes straight from Trump. Vote them out.

Pundits are underestimating how fed up the average Dem voter is with moderate Dems refusing to thwart the Republican hegemonic agenda. Ppl want government to do what it should: care for constituents.

Voters in Kansas saw through a blatant political power grab and sent a message — our courts are not for sale.

Kansas voters showed up and protected their impartial state supreme court, helping defend abortion rights, LGBTQ rights, and civil liberties for generations to come.”
