Missouri was purple leaning blue when I moved here in 1993. The DNCC got complacent about huge sections of the country not on either coast, and the Republicans began gerrymandering us to bits in the early 2000s. The 2 are connected. We are in a deep hole.

The CFPB has canceled plans to limit how data brokers sell Americans sensitive information, including financial data, credit history, and Social Security numbers. Russell Vought said the move comes “in light of updates to Bureau policies,” which are “in the process of revising.” #ProudBlue

I think if he actually goes after Social Security in any meaningful way, the dam will likely break. They all understand that they’ll almost certainly lose 40 states if anything happens to Social Security. The problem for them is that Trump doesn’t give a shit about their re-election prospects.
