Missouri Gov. Mike Kehoe (R) reinforced GOP power grabs sweeping the country, calling a special legislative session Friday to redraw congressional districts and weaken the ability of voters to pass laws through ballot initiatives. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Here we go; just what most of us were concerned about: a game of tit for tat.
If Democrats lose the House in 2026 because Rivas wouldn't let Lofgren's district be diluted because he wants to run in it, I'm going to be severely pissed.
Terrorist in Chief
I can not wait to leave this state! 2 more years. The rural people are bigoted, racist, chauvinistic idiots.
I lived there for about a year when I was first married. Hated every minute of it. Misery.
Greatest candidate for assassination in history.
Related to Chevy Kehoe?
dumb thug
You are great. If the USA has fallen to a dictator, why aren’t we hearing that from Obama, Bush and Clinton all the time. They can’t run for president again, they just have to activate people to fight the dictatorship. Why stay polite if it’s so desperate?
The question of whether or not the US has abandoned democracy and slipped into authoritarianism misses an important point: it's not a step function, an either-or; it's an incremental spectrum of blurring from the former to the latter. And THAT is definitely happening.
Guess Missouri doesn't want to vote anymore and would rather have a bunch of rich white men decide their futures and their posterity's futures forever. It's unlikely to work out for them but whatever orange jesus wants, right?
…and next up, an EO giving himself a Nobel prize 🙄
@normeisen.bsky.social says bring it on ! Norm whips his ass every time

Goddamn, now I have to harang a whole other section of MO government. Btw IMPEACH REMOVE AND JAIL TRUMP AND HIS CABINET PLEASE JOIN CITIZEN IMPEACHMENT.COM
The Conservatives did this in the UK. Not sure it helped them that much
He sure does an awful lot of things he's not supposed to have the power to do. Thank you Mark Elias & the others in the legal profession who are fighting these things every day. And to our Congress and Senate who do NOTHING: 🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼
And when voters DO pass those initiatives, the governor refuses to enforce them or allow them to where they have to be sued.
Not sure why he's bothering with weakening our ability to pass laws, the asswipes in congress just ignore the ones they don't like . Then spend a few elections trying to get 'Ballot Candy" on the ballots to undo them. A congressman even said, voters don't understand what they are voting for .
Fuck the GOP.

Fight it in court! It’s illegal anyway.
Look, I’m an outsider and I most definitely not a supporter of the orange imbecile but it absolutely astounds me that identification has never been a requirement to vote. There can’t be many countries on the planet that don’t require identification of some kind in order to be able to vote.
Yet another case for SCOTUS.
Enough already! Just step down! By the way what did you and Putin talk about in the Beast? Were US codes passed!! Just curious!
So pathetic and sad. Crooks and cheaters. All right thinking Republicans need to vote democratic.
He has zero deals in writing in the tariffs, zero! Hes crushing us with incompetence. Mr. Fake it until you make it can’t fake it enough to get out of this mess!
Rigging the election so the minority can rule. Will the SCOTUS strike this down as unconstitutional or just an "official act" of the POTUS?
SOB
Why do we continue with this Union when our "co-equals" want to tramp out the very foundations it is built on and subjugate us to their will. We Blues would be so much better off not subsidizing Reds. Perhaps it's time we went our separate ways.
Why doesn't Trump write an Executive Order ending disease? It would be just as useful and valid.
Lock him up
Every Democratic state will be entitled now to change their voting districts between national Censuses. Willy Nilly just like Republican States. Did you notice that Texas may have Phucked up and created 10 swing districts in their Haste to get 5 assured seats. My tonne of popcorn 🍿 is ordered. 🇪🇺🇮🇪
A lot of states have worked so hard to prevent gerrymandering that they cannot do what CA did. Good for the states, bad for this moment :(
It’s a lie. Don’t push that false statement
How so. Explain as if I'm 5 years old. 🇮🇪🇪🇺
Does it make sense to reduce 10 district to get 5 for sure. It’s all a scheme to make people focus on the wrong thing.
The 2 party system is essential for Democracy !
They already dismiss the wants of their voters missouriindependent.com/2025/03/12/m...
His orders don’t mean sxxt
Mike Asshole is an impaired fuckwit who can't tie his own shoes.
Do we know how many seats they are trying to pick up and what Democratic state is going to counter it?
Another trump BROWNIE HOUND trying to get in good with a POS diktator. WAKE THE FUCK UP!!!!!
DONT BOO VOTE!
Exactly
The blue states would formally like to withdraw their tax dollar financial support from the red states. If this is what they want - they’re on their own!
When the Republican Party tells you they would much rather rule you than represent you, believe them the first time.
And the stupefied Missouri electorate will take it with a smile.
Okay Illinois, New York, Maryland, Washington... The time is now to help and step up to the plate. Please join this fight, or we will all be seeing military uniforms for a long time, and not in a good way. Republican redistricting must be countered
He can "say" anything-all illegal BS only his really dumb ass base buy into
Missouri should bust down the door and drag him out
Yeah, I used to live in MO. That means I used to live there. They have good bass fishing there ~~~

So many lawsuits. So little time. Can someone estimate what these legal battles have cost taxpayers?
Could work
