I'm proud to have been raised in an area rich with diversity; to be aware and curious about our differences AND similarities, and to embrace both. We are not born with hate in our hearts. It's heartbreaking and infuriating that a human would subscribe to such venom. #HateHasNoHomeInMO
I would never support MORE gerrymandering. If you aren't sure how your Missouri State Senators and Representatives feel about this, call or email to let them know how YOU feel about it.
My uterus has more regulations than a gun. Our kids’ teachers work 2 jobs. And billionaires are still paying less in taxes than I do. So I’m making #GoodTroubleOnline today. If you’re mad, grab a meme and join in! ➡️ Digital Good Trouble Toolkit
Thank You @stlpublicradio.bsky.social and @americanredcross.bsky.social! I was able to get in/out and donate blood in about 30 minutes!

NY Times gift article Note law prof: “It also says to all candidates and parties, ‘Hey, time to recruit some churches.’” Seems just a matter of time until political "churches" are formed to engage in tax-free partisan politics, including deductible donations to the "church" by the ultra wealthy.
As the mom of a kid who got malaria 10 months after visiting Honduras & spent at least 2 weeks in hospital (some of which was frantic with worry due to lack of diagnosis), I sure wonder when our current HHS / Robert Kennedy Jr. will declare that such a drug should not be available to Americans.
This really angers me. My dad was a pastor and our family firmly believed in separation of church & state. Campaigning from the pulpit isn't the issue; campaigning as a TAX EXEMPT entity boils my blood.
Elections matter As a pastor's kid, my early years were spent living literally a stone's throw from my church and to believe in separation of church & state Folks campaigning from the pulpit should pay taxes... just like me, you, & everyone else - regardless of political persuasion.
Started the month by joining PROMO Missouri's Brunch of Champions - wonderful event, wonderful folks, and always an all around joyful moment. plus - THIS! What a combo of pride and library appreciation!
THIS is why I'm running for Mo's 4th senate district. EVERY Democrat in #MoSen must unequivocally support reproductive rights (& voting "yes" for HB126 - the bill that triggered the statewide ban after Dobbs - doesn't cut it)
I (& other Dems) filed #Medicaid expansion proposals, as did at least one GOP Rep. But bc #MoLeg's GOP majority refused to move any expansion bill forward, MO ended up being 1 of 3 states with expansion in its constitution - with serious ramifications should federal Medicaid funding decrease.
Despite knowing the people on the search warrant weren't there, the ICE arrest team STILL took this family's phones, laptops, and life savings — and refused to leave a BUSINESS CARD so they could ask to get it back! This stuff is sadly not unique to ICE; it happens with regular police raids too.

I agree. Southwest cancelling free bags, changing reward travel, etc. makes it just like every other airline. It may keep the name, but not the brand
Aw man!
wow.
I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org
The role of an elected board (or legislator) is NOT to rubber stamp what is presented. School board members (and all electeds) should be ENCOURAGED to ask questions to gain a full understanding of the mounds of info that can be presented.
Because MoLeg would not expand Medicaid itself (I was ranking member of a 2013 traveling committee & spent YEARS working on it), and because MoLeg has an awful history of overturning voters' will on statutory changes by initiative petition, Medicaid expansion is a constitutional requirement.
Bless your heart.....
If this is accurate, it's so beyond bad faith & gamesmanship, its just plain old despicable.

wonder what his legacy will look like after years of turning himself into a pretzel to support party (or on person) over values (even the "conservative" values of a decade ago).....

wild to see all the Trump supporters asking for Elon/Trump to cut them a break personally It’s “we’re in this together” vs. “me me me”
"I go back to Arizona — they’re ... not talking about USAID. And they’re not talking about the courts. They’re still talking about egg prices. They’re still talking about the cost of everything. " " Donald Trump goes to Harlem. Do we go to the equivalent of Harlem for the red voter? No, we don’t."
This administration has convinced half the country that the real problem isn’t billionaires who evade taxes and collect government handouts but the working class who pay taxes and get nothing in return.
Their numbers are dwindling now. Iron lungs have been relegated to museums. Some feel the world has forgotten them. Today, the eyes of polio survivors were on Mitch McConnell. He voted no on RFK Jr. Sharing this as a gift so all can hear their stories. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/18/u...
I don't understand what part of Nov's election results were unclear.... a majority of voters don't care about the silly stuff he's said.
