I better reply would have been: I would suggest fucking the hell of you ignorant piece of shit.

Keep calling these fcking lies out, Governor!

I love Newsome always replying with crime stats. Perfect, enough said.

Another day, another Republican idiot sandwich. Every frigging day. Led by the Great Orange Firehose of Bullshit.

Love it when Gavin burn’s them. 🔥

Like a young Lindsey Graham

He represents the poorest district in the state. It’ll be interesting to see how they respond to the BBB cuts that will certainly affect them.

disclosures-clerk.house.gov/public_disc/... Multi millionaire says what?

Yes that’s very true. Jason Smith sucks.

Are there any Missouri politicians who aren't?

Congressman Emanuel Cleaver, (D) is the only good federal representative from Missouri. A few good state Democrats, but they have been in the minority for decades. Jess has put substantial effort into increasing the number of state Democrats. Slight increase, but too many always Republican

he's a 12 yr old.

Defense is good but really we need an offense that a “Red America is Failing” national campaign that highlights the high poverty, low healthcare, low education and higher crime rates in red states.

Completely agree, but a marketing premise based on calling a third of the country backwards and dumb tends to backfire.

Yep

Please don't think Gavin Newsom is a hero standing up to Trump. He has been a toxic governor. He allows his hand-picked California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) to give Pacific Gas & Electric free rein to use their customers as ATMs.

We have seen 13 price increases in a YEAR to pay PG&E's salaries, shareholders, and fines for the fires their antiquated and ill-maintained equipment started throughout the state. This is only one example. Newsom is a Trump Jr.

Literally a complete embarrassment that Missouri could elect such a vile person to represent them. Mo is heavy into Medicaid and Jason.voted to cut constituents off of health care. Jason should lose his job in 26’

Yup….Medicaid is codified in our constitution. They’re gonna have to do something and Haulin Ass Hawley knows it. He also knows that if he doesn’t, that may really impact his chances of reelection. Honestly, I was shocked as all get out that he won again considering how Jan 6 went down.

Oh Jess…. I am so sorry that this mental midget, represents a portion of Missouri. Never give up hope…. and get rid of this horrible guy. 💙💙💙. You are not alone, remember that !!! ❤️🙏🏾🫵🏾

So many embarrassments running the State of Missouri. 💩 state government.

*scratches head* I am 99.9% sure CA doesn't even need the US so perhaps reps ought to check their own stats before firing shots🤔

I'm pretty sure that's a very good assessment of ninety percent of the men in this country.

🔥 Get 'em Jess 😂 😎 They don't like Gavin exposing them

Springfield Mo's crime rate is off the chain.

I’ve been to California many times. Haven’t been murdered once.

I’ve lived in California my whole life and have been murdered twice. It’s rough but you get used to it. 😂

Jason Smith couldn’t win a battle of wits with a wet paper bag.

How many red state politicians have to get slapped down like this before they stop trying this line of attack? They all seem kinda dumb so maybe they'll keep doing it...

They're like mosquitoes. They keep trying until they're squashed.

This grinning fool has an unmanned office smack dab in the downtown area where I live. I asked Smith to explain to the people of his district, in his own words, why he is so wasteful. His reply? A copy of his newsletter that I specifically checked the NO box on. Oust this idiot!!

MAGA on a fact finding mission…⬇️⬇️

Do these guys do ANY homework?!?

Never.

Wonder how many understand that 117% means more than twice the rate…and think wrongly it means 17% more….

How does he keep being re-elected? How is he unattached?

Oh, nevermind and not the brightest crayon in the box, ishe? www.c-span.org/clip/public-...

Clap!!

They mad 'cause la got no crime

Perfect description.

👍🏻

#Truth

Is this the sick dude who did a photo op in El Salvador at the gulag?

Right on Gov.

Newsom with a nice uppercut … 🥊

What the hell is with these congressional idiots yapping about CA?

Seems like he enjoys being publicly humiliated. 🤔

This is what happens when you get a red State education

Missouri is an embarrassment to the US

😂😂😂😂👏👏👏👏👏

Sit the fuck down, Jason.

And CA's population outnumbers all states.

Jason should have known better.

Dark Gavin

This is another tired myth amongst republikkkans. To say LA or San Francisco are crap cities is utterly laughable, regurgitated by pinheads who aren’t lucky enough to live in either city.

More California politicians ought to be shouting this from the rooftops, throw this back into the politicians' face...

It's "stale" talking points to discuss what's happening in real-time as we speak?

Which is really saying something.

GOP: “The high murder rate in red states is old news.”

Jason Smith is unfit to hold any public office.

Their rate of married cousins ALSO is 117% higher than California.

And that’s expressing it kindly

The Governors response… 💥😂

This knuckle dragger represents the district I live in. It’s very embarrassing, infuriating, and humiliating. A high number of Medicaid recipients in his district… I’ll be moving and won’t look back. He’s a permanent stain on Missouri and the US. Disgraceful.

Bashing California has always been these yokels favorite pastime.

Exactly as ceaseless failure incarnate dumdumdonni cannot stop itself from bashing Obama. Chortle

I had a troll on here tell me that CA was a "welfare state" recently. 😆 🤣 😂 I'm from Canada, we know about CA's economy on the world stage.

I once carpooled w/ a South Asian techie, in regime1, who believed CA was running a multi-billion $ deficit (this was days after the local news had announced a healthy surplus), & also that shitler was going to speed up the immig process, after admitting H1b visas had gotten harder to maintain. 🤦🏽‍♀️😵‍💫

Missouri's gift to the nation appears to be a boatload of such statesmen these days. From Truman to Jason Smith--mama, how'd we come to this?

Missouri is loaded with bad politicians. Hawley🤮 Now Jason Smith🤮

I feel ya. South Carolina has Tim Scott (who willingly serves his GOP White Supremest masters), Lindsey what the fuck is with this dude Graham and the Princess of vileness herself, Nancy Mace. I was going to say Queen but Marjory Taylor Greene proudly wears that crown.

I have no room to talk. Arkansas has Sarah Huckabee Sanders & Rotten Tom Cotton. We hang our heads in shame.🤦‍♀️

Sounds like Rep. Jason Smith stepped into another pile of 🐂💩 while he was trying to sound condescending! Nice try Missourian, you failed your state again!

Republicans seem to excel in stepping in 🐂💩

Hahahahaha

Probably flunked 4th grade math & doesn’t understand how % work anyway.

ALL of the maga minions NEED TO BE ACCOUNTABLE! All of Congress MUST uphold their OATHS! They must feel groundswell Make ALL of them #accountable Prosecute ICE by #RICO #NOW #SlavaUkraine #Resist #arrest #prosecute #Impeach #DefeatRussia #DemocracyMatters @electiontruth.bsky.social #VerifyTheVote

Didn't you forget redneck?

😜👍👍👍

This is priceless. Hey, I live in Missouri where this square-head fool is a Representative. If you want to know more about his DNA Google his Mom's illegal puppy mills and the inhumane treatment the animals have suffered for YEARS! MO is embarrassed all the time.

"Smith’s Kennel has a history of repeat USDA violation stretching more than a decade, unsanitary conditions; dogs exposed to extreme temperatures w/o adequate shelter; dogs w/o enough cage space; pest/rodent infestations; injured bleeding dogs, sick dogs not been treated by a vet, and much more.

After voters passed Proposition B, the Missouri Legislature passed legislation to repeal it before it went into effect in November 2011. One legislator who sponsored a repeal bill was Rep. Jason Smith, He’s obviously corrupt and willing to overturn for his own personal interests and of his mother."

That dude WISHES he lived in San Francisco.

The state government loves overturning what the voters want. Like abortion or Medicaid expansion. And they keep getting reelected🤷‍♂️

Sorry for your shitty representation. Being in the upper Midwest I consider all good people in your state to be living in a State of Misery.

Are all republicans scumbags?

Yes, did you really wonder?

Apparently, Missouri loves misery.

Owned

Ha! Now let's do Jim Jordan. I've known that POS since hs!

Gavin is right. I live in Missouri. St. Louis is the 5th most dangerous city in the US.

As the kiddos used to say, “buuuuurn!”

That, my friends, is called a world-class BURN!!

but, we do have this

I actually love it that California is so much better in so many ways than most states I’ve ever been to.

Embarrassment doesn’t begin to cover the incompetence and idiocy of these Republican asskissers.

When you slap a 'show me' stater with data

Wowsers! I had no idea.

I’ll see your Jason Smith and raise you a Mike Lee.

RT with Alttext Congressman Jason #Smith is a slack-jawed embarrassment to the state of #Missouri...

For sure . . . the GOP is just punks with extreme power as bought by idiot billionaires.

Along with Josh Hawley.

Just a lame, intellectually mediocre dork.

Missouri is 22nd in Poverty as well. You’re the one who needs to get to work there Jason. California is the 4th largest economy in the world and subsidizes your FK’N states ass. You need to come to terms with reality, dude

He’s done nothing for us and everything against us.

As with all Republicans, if you are not a billionaire.

Um… oops?

The lawless in LA right now is mostly FEDERAL conduct, anyway.

I wonder how much of this difference is because California has more immigrants and more undocumented immigrants. Statistically, those groups are much less likely to commit crimes.

Missouri has quite a few of them!

Gavin is great!

Yes,but why do so many Missourians like that slack-jawed embarrassment? And we can’t rule out Texas, Georgia Utah and so many others that they are the majority! SMH 🤦‍♂️

Overfed US politicians are SO vile in every sense

In case the fair Representative from Missouri is wondering. (Courtesy CDC.gov)

Boom 💥

And Newsome has hundreds of thousands of more people.

Bwahahaha!!! 🔥🔥🔥 As a sad ‘miserian’, this gave me a great laugh!

They are all slime backed by a fake cross Jess. Just saying.

What is it with all these insufferable people?

Missouri needs to do better

It won’t

He is just gonna blame the cities for that since he hates us

The "facts don't care about your feelings" crowd is actually big into feelings. Maybe they don't like Latin phrases like "per capita." Maybe they don't care. www.publicradiotulsa.org/local-region...

Facts are facts asshole. Everything out of Smith’s mouth is a stale talking point.

You misspelled "all of Missouri's Reps and Senators"

Don’t care for Newsom, but that was a quality reply. That will do absolutely nothing.

I'm old enough to remember when Missouri was a Blue State.

Hey smith go lick some 🟠AXX

It is better to be silent and thought a fool than to be Republican.

It's wild that the Bible belt keeps talking about how lawless and sinful blue states are when that region beats them in ever 10 commandment category.

The share ignorance of basic facts and the grandiose way in which they lie says a lot about their voters than them. When people put the deprivation of others above their own wellbeing... This is what you get.

Why are these red state fools so dumb. They speak up n out without doing homework. LOOKIN YOUR OWN BACKYARD DUMMY

Say what you will about him but at least Newsom/team is actually fighting these POS

But is he wrong, Jason? Is he wrong?

I’ll be waiting for his reply….

Why is a lawmaker from Missouri focused on California’s governance?? I smell a little envy! There is a list of issues I’m sure Missourians would rather he focus on!

These ignorant MF'ers are so uninformed/ignorant. But they also know the MAGA cult will believe anything TACO or TACOs appointed/elected officials say ☹️

🎤💥

He always sounds like a whiny HOA board member when he speaks.

Oh, snap!

Also, I want to be 100% clear here, @governor.ca.gov is fighting back, and I will always support that. 💙 *WE* are ~*NOT*~ MAGA. We, The People, understand and remember history. Newsom has *vast* expanses of proof of being a *politician*: He changes his supposed *self* upon polls.

I will support @governor.ca.gov *while he fights for US* He *doesn't* do that ALL the time. This is fact. This is Truth. Newsom FIGHTS for Justice. now. now that it is *profitable*. Whenever it is *forced* upon him, he makes "himself" clear. This is politics.

Dems need to get out in rural areas. An ACTUAL rural dem that the locals can relate to. There are usually no dems on ballots out here.

Don’t understand why rural voters think trump is their savior.. he makes rural people sound like they are idiots, uneducated, morally crippled, and rascist.. not sure why rural communities like this narrative of themselves

Also, they take pride in being this way. The internet, marketers, politicians, church leaders have encouraged this behavior. Many people here rely on gov't assistance (some are scamming to get it), too. It's a continuous cycle.

Herd mentality.. well unfortunately this assistance may be drying up once the big beautiful bill passes and takes hold.. time will tell.. maybe it is what they need .. kick in the ass to see the light🤷‍♂️

The problem is if Dems protect these programs again, the people will continue to support the T administration. It happened last time. I live next to a farmer, if he gets gov't help he will continue to support Trump. If people really suffered from losing assistance, it may open their eyes.

Many people in this area ARE these things. It's a culture they enjoy. (I interact with these people.) There are drugs, crimes, drugs, guns, ignorance. People here can be very oppositional-defiant. It's EASY for them (so they think) but they don't understand it's making it more difficult to live.

But why gravitate towards trump who doesn’t give a sht about them.. why are they hoodwinked.. can’t understand why side with the party that doesn’t care vs the party that cares???? Meaner verbiage excites the rural folk?

People out here can be coarse. A whiff of criminal connection/behavior floats around in many areas. They have normalized it. They do hide behind their religions, too. False religion is growing here, too. Guns and God. Incredible hypocrisy.

😩 ugh.. they may see the light.. let’s hope .. we need to dig out of this negativity and hate that has overtaken our beautiful nation

👆I truly want want this, as well. Indoctrination is difficult to overcome.

Indoctrination works. It's twisted, not logical. Many have a disturbing disconnect to reality. I do think it's a cult. I see and hear hypocrisy constantly out here. Easily manipulated AND they think their way is the only right way. The stupidity is astounding.

How it works in my area: You need to be related, connected, or have $. There are families that have $ and have been here for generations. They run the small towns here. They do not like you or help you if you are not one of the above. I can't figure out how anyone can break into their circles.

IME in a norcal small town, it's the "been here for generations" you won't overcome unless, maybe, you can reach the younger ones in those families. I moved there when I was 12 and by the time I was in high school, I was finally a Local. But adults who moved there often NEVER were.

You can’t. Because that’s not what a democracy means. It’s called bribery and ignorance. It’s middle age society based on family and blood.

I don't think it can be changed, it's very frustrating to witness. Very small areas with a bit of $, many torn up mobile home parks. Apathy and cruelty. Not good. The "Hillary/dems gonna take your guns" really made an impression here, too.

God, guns, and abortion

The most important strategy is to keep them poor and not informed. That’s how they can control them. I have seen this too many times.

Instead of attributing their poverty & general lack of economic opportunity to their own votes, limited education & ambition, & the greed of billionaire CEOs & big global corporations, they toe the MAGA line of blaming the "elitist" middle-class of educators, scientists & white-collar professionals.

TBH, I think many of them don't know that voting may help them have a better life. They see no reason to change. Racism (in a predominantly white area) is big, misogyny is growing, xenophobia (of course.) It's a continous cycle, indoctrination. They watch Fox and listen to right leaning radio.

I agree. I see no curiosity or desire to change the way things are. I do hear Repub talking points out here (sometimes verbatim) frequently, it bubbles to the surface in unrelated coversations. A seemingly out-of-place anger floats around, too. A lot of dysfunction.

It seems you are describing my county here in Florida. I am on the space coast surrounded by people who are angry, uninformed, and just ignorant. My family included. They're sure the Clinton's had people killed and democrats are evil. It's frustrating and sad😔.

Oh, I have a great name for them, too. We should call them Dirt Road Democrats!

Will Westmoreland/Back 40 is trying to tackle the farmer side. I believe he's in southern MO. I'm in an area where a few have $ and many are living in mobile home parks. Related/connected is what continues this cycle here.

This your first time seeing a post from Jess. Literally her whole message. Maybe follow her and get involved?

I've been following Jess. I know of all the hard work she's been doing.

Thank goodness. She’s amazing

I wish she had an army to saturate every county here!

😳

What about the crime in Missouri? MAGAts are stupid beyond words

He's a drooling dunderheaded doofus.

Yes ma’am !!!!

Ah. My representative. Definitely in the running for Least Likely to Impress.

Expecting him to understand how percentages work seems optimistic. Would have been a lot simpler to say “twice as high”.

We seem to have a lot of those…

not the brightest bulb in the box, is he?

Looks like there's some sort of pattern. And from the table, MO is #6 in homicide rates. www.cdc.gov/nchs/pressro...

I confirm this based on data. The Moscow-Musk propaganda trolls immediately jump in with, "California does not report data to FBI!" Which is true, they report only about 4% of their data to FBI. Meanwhile Florida reports 0.0% of their data to FBI. Then how we know what's correct? From the CDC.

M-agat A-ssholes G-overning A-gain 🤥

Uff da.....a southerner ( I live so far N almost everyone is a southerner) calling a southerner slack-jawed?! That's a dig!!! Good 1 !

First rule of criticizing, take care you don't shoot your own dick off.

I am not a consistent fan of @gavinnewsom.bsky.social, but I nevertheless wish he’d post more on Bluesky.

I really don’t know. Do they deliberately lie to manipulate and score points with the base or are they that stupid ignorant from the Fox News right wing echo chamber?

Yes

No shit

His social media team deserves a raise! 🔥🔥🔥

M'zoora

It sounds as if Jason has never been out of his own state

One of many

Gavin Gruesome is a straight up embarassment to CA. He is on the right side on immigration. I give him a little bit of credit for that. Otherwise he has accomplished nothing. If he runs for president, and he will, I doubt he will even win CA.

In a world that has given us Reagan and Trump, Newsom doesn’t come close to that level of incompetence.

Reagan had dementia. Trump is just plain evil. I don't think Newsom rises to that level, but I do think he is incompetent.

is it possible to embarass MO I mean one of their senators is Josh Haulin Ass Hawley

By now one would think that lackluster Republicans would stop going after California! Gov. Newsom is no joke and he comes with receipts!

Yea, he really is. We have quite the collection of tools across the US knee physicians don’t we 2026 who can we vote out?

Congressman Smith is just one of the hundreds of MAGA GOP critters who are an embarrassment.

Jesus, seriously all he had to to was shut the fuck up, he knew what was coming, or did he because he is an absolute waste of air.

They are so f*^king emboldened now, they can’t stop spewing their idiotic world view to anyone, on camera, in public, from the rooftops…

Ooooouch! That sizzles!

Perhaps you should stick to your own state’s crime rate in Missouri before you start throwing stones at California, Mr. Congressman. Seems like you have enough on your hands. Whereas, Gov Newsom can walk and chew gum at the same time. Bless your heart for being worried but I think he can handle it.

Gavin Newsom is the absolute king of trolling. He slays.

Wait, are they taking a break from bashing the evil , violent, murder capital of the world Chicago? Even though St. Louis has a higher murder rate.

“And then you can look at Medicaid cuts,” Missouri lawmaker and Congress tax chief Jason Smith said, before hastily correcting himself. “Uh, Medicaid reforms, I should say.” www.yahoo.com/news/watch-g...

bsky.app/profile/ronf...

Which Missouri republican isn’t? All they want to do is suck trump’s dick.
