Notice DOJ doesn't talk about its efforts to obtain state voter files anymore. They are 0-20 in those cases and today is the beginning of the quiet period -- states can no longer do systematic removals of names from the voter rolls. TLDR: We won!🥳

There may well be active duty troops in the Middle East right now who have family members locked in ICE jails. Congress authorized Military Parole-in-Place specifically to avoid this situation. But the Trump admin has shown little care to families caught in this situation.

"President Donald Trump’s administration has detained dozens of parents and spouses of active-duty U.S. troops as it rolls back immigration protections for military families to pursue its mass deportation agenda." https://bit.ly/4br4M4m

Thank you Missouri for showing up to protect future petitions and a balanced tax system on Amendments 4&5!!! There’s more to do with the Amendment 3 vote in November. If you want to get involved, connect with us through our Substack newsletter: substack.com/@bootsontheg...

🚨BREAKING: Missouri voters have rejected a ballot measure to limit their own ability to pass amendments to the state constitution — a proposal that fueled extraordinarily high voter turnout in Tuesday’s election. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Missouri voters reject ballot measure limiting their power to amend state constitution

Notably, the proposed amendment would not have affected constitutional amendments that the legislature put on the ballot. State lawmakers only wanted to make it harder to pass a voter-led measure, not...

These Republican amendments went down in flames. WE WON!

With the people’s power to effect change on the line, Missouri voters showed up to defend their rights. And in November, when abortion rights are on the ballot, they’ll do it again.

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.

Buzzkill of the day: the quokka smile is not proof of emotional joy. It’s just their facial structure and panting to stay cool. However, I reject any universe in which this makes them less magical. That is still the face of a tiny marsupial who just heard excellent gossip.

Good morning. Anxious about that big presentation today? Just remember: somewhere, someone confidently presented a map that relocated multiple African countries at a major international health conference. You'll be fine.

Get out there, vote, and don't forget.... NO on Amendment 4 and NO on Amendment 5! Polls close at 7.

That's what taxes are, man. That's the definition of taxes. "You are subsidizing things you might never use" man shut the fuck up. My taxes currently subsidize like oil company exec private jets, you think I'm upset at low-income people eating inexpensive bananas?

Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.

Posts claim Katie Miller, a former White House adviser and the wife of senior White House adviser Stephen Miller, received medical advice from from Dr. Fauci in 2020 before calling for his imprisonment more than six years later. That's true. ✅ www.snopes.com/fact-check/k...

Companies regulated by Sean Duffy reportedly poured millions into a road-trip show starring the transportation secretary and his family. It was supposed to premiere in June. But months later, not one episode has aired. @willsommer.bsky.social looks into what the hell happened.

I'm going to alienate some people now. Abortion is a critical part of gynecological care. Full stop. Hormonal birth control is used by many individuals simply to regulate difficult menstrual cycles. Legislators who don't understand the minutiae of reproductive biology should SHUT THE FUCK UP.

Here's my idea: -Bring home the 50,000 U.S. troops currently deployed to the Middle East. -Stop trying to conceal the number of Americans who have died in this conflict. -No more senseless wars with unclear objectives.

LEFT TO RIGHT: Defeated the British, freed the slaves, raped the children.

Where's the outrage and nonstop coverage over Max Miller, corporate media? Is that only reserved for Democrats and progressives? Why are Republicans supporting a mam who allegedly beat his wife and injured his child?

FYI: Blanche rescinded the ORDER establishing the slush fund, not the underlying “settlement.” The settlement says any changes must be agreed to by ALL parties, not just Todd. This “rescission” isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on.

FINAL DAY! For the last 55 days, the Missouri Democratic Party has warned that if Amendment 5 passes, Missouri politicians will be able to raise or add taxes on every good or service in your life. Tomorrow, vote NO on Amendment 5!
