This is actually huge. The Republican supermajority has been in place since 2012 and done our state absolutely no favors.
Democrats flip 16 Missouri House seats, ending Republican supermajority • Missouri Independent
Missouri Democrats picked 16 seats in the state House on Tuesday as they broke the Republican two-thirds supermajority after 14 years.

“Both sides are the same.” Then how do we explain decades of drastically different economic results? The numbers are there. The evidence is there. So why do we keep changing the subject? Watch the video. Examine the evidence. And tell me what you think.
It’s so much worse than you think. Ex-DOJ official Liz Oyer: “The Justice Department has been totally captured by the president.” CORRUPTIONLAND is released tomorrow @ corruptionland.org. Next week, Americans can do something about it.
I don't know that there is a template or a "secret sauce" or a clear-cut lesson to take from this. But if there is one it's the idea of treating social media as the hostile territory that it is, of actually acting like you are a participant in propaganda warfare and not like a consumer.
A 'SpaceX' investor said he’s not only “disgusted…from a humanity perspective” (by restrictions on Starlink in Ukraine), but also because: “.….they've given everybody a reason not to use Starlink, that Starlink isn't reliable for national security for anybody but Trump.”
It’s not just about affordability. Maybe for the first time since 1974, voters say their main concern heading into the midterms is corruption in government. Great to see.
For those that vote only for their own selfish interests, here's your chart. Most Americans probably already know and feel this. Inflation will likely wipe out the planned Social Security 3.6% COLA increase in 2027. trump's Iran war and record $1.04T defense spending contributed to this. Vote blue.
3/3 One nice benefit is the lack of trolls pumping out crap this morning. This unconfirmed graphic says bots from Yandex have died, or at least rendered unconscious. Let's hope it stays that way. As some are pointing out, this is a blow to Trump/Republicans ahead of the Midterms.
I took my son for a walk this morning. Beautiful, peaceful, safe. In Ukraine, parents have to worry about Russian drones targeting their children The only difference between us is where we were born. We should be helping Ukraine defeat Putin. Instead, Trump is giving Russia another lifeline.
I can't understand why any union member would vote for pro-billionaire, pro-CEO trump. I recently spoke to an IBEW member that voted for trump because Dems were no longer representing his values. What?! trump's a pedo fascist POS. FAFO "union" members. apnews.com/article/trum...
A gut punch in Ohio: Nearly 1,400 laid off at truck factory just days before Trump rally
President Donald Trump is trying to rally voters in the Dayton, Ohio, area on Saturday. But days ago, 1,400 workers were laid off from a truck factory there.

Trump wants you to think gas prices are going up because of Ukraine when actually it’s because he fucked up in the Middle East. Strikes on Russian oil have been going on for months and the market barely changed. Ukraine should continue defending itself

BREAKING: SCOTUS does the right thing. Missouri republicans can’t use their new map this election cycle.
Steve Vladeck@stevevladeck.bsky.social · 2mo ago#BREAKING: Over *no* public dissents, #SCOTUS *stays* the federal district court’s TRO in the Missouri redistricting case, effectively restoring the Missouri Supreme Court ruling from last week (and the 2022 map that it requires the state to use in November).
The effective federal corporate income tax rate: 1950: 50% 1990: 25% 2020: 13% Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate. That is how we will pay for it.
Ukraine is burning down all of Russia's Wildberries distribution centers. These pictures and videos are apocalyptic.

Reuters is reporting that the Moscow Refinery has been forced to halt all operations and will not be operational again until 2027. This is a huge loss for Russia.
Kudos to Irish journalist and film producer Caolan Robertson for single-handedly dismantling the myth of his country's 'neutrality' by exposing the collaboration between Ireland's political elite and the russian terror state!
True, but just TRY to get something like this past the GOP.
These magats think replacing bondi with blanche will change things. Do they not recall that he defended 🟠💩🤡 in the E Jean Carroll sexual abuse case? But McBride hailed the changing of the guard, expressing hope that there could now be renewed focus on the Epstein issue. www.bbc.com/news/article...
Why this disillusioned Trump voter spends hours searching Epstein files
Many who support the president have expressed frustration with how Trump's former attorney general Pam Bondi handled the Epstein files.
