I know this sounds crazy, but shouldn’t the Secretary of Energy know something about energy?

Most people that talk about it, can't define socialism.
We might assume but it's really just wishful thinking.
Surely there are some legal begals between UMKC Law and Mizzo Law schools that would be willing to take this to court. I live in Cleaver's district and would be glad to be a plaintiff.
MO Gov Mike Kehoe is calling a special session to gerrymander the 5th District which encompasses Kansas City. He is specifically violating Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, which bans any voting practice that denies or weakens the power of a racial minority to elect its preferred candidates.
Why isn't he in prison?
I'm thinking that you can't define communism.
I hope that is the way he leaves too.
This should be engraved on his tombstone.
Labor Day in Kansas City turned the fountain piss-on-tRump yellow.
And Steven Miller is an escaped lab rat.
I put a coat of finish on these beauties today.
This is extremely angering. Arrest the Proud Boys!!!! #USDemocracy

Constituent: You talked about abuses in the medicare and medicaid system and I found interesting that the president pardoned someone that defrauded the medicaid system for $1.3 billion
I'm waiting for them all to drink the kool-aid, you know the batch they make when the cult leader realizes that it is over and they can all follow him to the here-after.
And this would be bad, why?
I couldn't agree more with this guy. You have no idea what can happen to you if you come here. Please just stay away. We love you all. It's just not safe. And please stop buying anything made in this country. It will help us. #USDemocracy
I’ve heard military law experts advise, if you are given an illegal command as a soldier, do not blindly obey. Call your attorney. Obeying an illegal command can result in a court martial.
#ResistanceRoots Zonia Baber was born on this day in 1862 in Kansas Township, Ill. Baber was a geographer and geologist who developed innovative teaching methods that emphasized experiential learning. She was also an activist who advocated for women’s rights and against Western imperialism. /1

Sometimes you just need to laugh. Lol
My grandson will be taking a US history class this year, I'll recommend that he supplement his text with this list. He already has a copy of "Lies My Teacher Told Me" by James W Loewen.
One thing that EVERYONE should know by now is Republican/MAGA doublespeak - meaning that whatever they claim, the truth is the exact opposite. Case in point, regarding #LawAndOrder

tRUmp is a 🇷🇺RU TooLFool, Vlad's MagaMarionette, a needy insecure mobbed up bully, a spoiled child who if he can't get what he wants, TAKES IT. Musk ADMITTED he helped tRUmputin CHEAT. He's illigit. Let's get him OUT Give NPP to Zelenskyy.. he deserves the recognition, not an embarrassing dim prat.

Walmart spent $35.3B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2024, enough to give each of its 2.2M employees annual bonuses of $2,719. Last year, Walmart CEO Doug McMillon pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay of just $29,469. Textbook corporate greed.
That's not socialism, it is governmental capitalism. The relationship between owners and workers remains the same or probably gets worse.
Oklahoma’s Ryan Walters sued an atheist group for merely WARNING two schools (over 7 years!) that they might be violating church/state separation. A judge just tossed out his lawsuit in brutal fashion. www.friendlyatheist.com/p/federal-ju...
This is completely amazing. Great job, guys #USDemocracy
If I drank coffee, I would have spit it all over my tablet.
Once Again The Party Of Value? Yeah Right! Nothing honest about them. They are All corrupt and covering up something…. 🤨🤨🤨
More air for the living.
Either way, the sooner the better.
Good morning, I see it's another disappointing day in the obituaries.
Some Texas Democratic women have torn up their permission slips and will now be hosting a “slumber party for Democracy” on the House floor.
When the Biden-era ACA subsidies kicked in, I was able to buy health insurance. I had been without health insurance for four years by that time. It looks like I will not be able to purchase my health care yet again. Thanks, Trump voters. This is on you. missouriindependent.com/2025/08/18/m...
Isn’t this the franchise that conducts its operations based on principles derived from Christian teachings and values, promoting ethical practices?
Why does Mango Musilini have a row of spitoons on the white house mantle?

HAPPENING NOW: Protesters have gathered in NYC to support a bill to redraw New York’s congressional maps to fight back against the gerrymandering in Texas.

Boebert and those "family " values .....🤔
The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe. Will we listen to his words today?
Do * not * travel * to * the * US. Not with a green card, a visa, or as a tourist. It's not safe, especially for kids. No privilege will make you safe, they deport professors, scientists, everybody.

Chiefs give Missouri Republicans $25,000, I can't think of a better reason to stay away from Arrowhead this season and to vote against taxpayers' money going for a new stadium.
…and look, honestly, he might be the most law abiding and honest person in this administration… only time will tell!!!

Good morning BLUESKY 💙 we must never forget the victims of sexual assault or harassment by their perpetrator(s). If you're a woman who continues to support this disgusting piece of 💩 you're condoning his behavior. You can do better.😎
Mark Kelly: “I hope we got something out of this. Putin is a war criminal. Letting him fly into the United States to negotiate with our president is not a show of strength.”

What happens if you don’t do background checks or training for thousands of people and you give them all total authority? ICE has been caught looting and destroying property at Pittsburgh restaurants. They even tried to break into the safes. They loaded food, supplies and equipment into vehicles /
Oh please keep him in Washington, we don't want him back here in Missouri.
"Either their long-term game is there won't be free elections or we'll fix the election or we'll steal it or gerrymander it, or they're perfectly prepared for someone who they disagree with to be able to use those same tools at some point in the future."
The current tax code rewards wealth, and that’s why everyone is so pissed off. There’s an easy way to fix it and get money back to people. Here’s how:

Seems Mike Johnson has been using campaign funds to pay his rent in DC, which is a major legal no no. www.rawstory.com/mike-johnson...
Thank goodness for Lawrence O'Donnell ❤️🔥
Word of the Day: State
Project 2025 has a detailed plan to “align the Census Bureau with conservative principles” w/ dozens of suggested changes. When Trump says he’s ordering a new “modern” census technique we all know he means they won’t count people in Blue states. The the “legal” authoritarianism of Trump Regime.
Noticing a pattern here.
It drives Jonathan Turley crazy when I remind everyone that he is just Mike Lindell with tenure. So, please make sure not to amplify this message.👇 Jonathan Turley is just Mike Lindell with tenure.

It ain't going away, no it ain't going away....
Go, a college student, has a dependent visa (her mother, an Episcopal minister, is here on a religious worker visa), which doesn't expire until Dec. But when she tried to renew it early, ICE nabbed her and sent her halfway across the US to a detention center. www.wthr.com/article/news...
Question for Mike Flood: With $450 million being allocated to Alligator Alcatraz, and ICE burning through $8.4 million a day to illegally detain people—How much does it cost for fascism? How much do the tax payers have to pay for a fascist country?
@cbsnews.com isn't even fact-checking itself.
Here’s the thing, this doesn’t just apply to Missouri. GOP-dominated states, and their attorneys general, are all pushing for terrible policies. If we don’t contest races in red states, if we don’t have the money to fight in these races, it ruins the entire country.
Here’s a 🔥🔥exchange between me and Mick Mulvaney during @mehdirhasan.bsky.social's brilliant interview of Mulvaney on Al Jazeera's Head to Head. The whole episode is worth a watch, and you can find it on @aljazeera.com's YouTube channel.
