I live as a blueberry in a tomato soup state. My Grandfathers fought in WWI, my father and uncles in WWII so we could all live free. I’m glad they are not alive now to witness the disgusting degradation of our democracy. DM’s=block

Yup. Missouri Republicans scum are further robbing the Missouri school kids. The financial challenges stem from the Missouri state legislature’s decision this spring not to fully fund public education, which created a $300 million shortfall across the state. Also won’t fund Imagination Library.

Missourians owe a huge thank you to Marc Elias of Democracy Docket and to People Not Politicians as well as Executive Director Richard von Glahn. I appreciate every single one of the Missourians that worked so hard getting notarized signatures to make this corrupt move end. Vote 💙🌊

I am so proud of my adopted state today!! Rachel Maddow reported Missourians gave a “one fingered salute” in a decisive backlash against state republicans efforts to curb citizens voting power. State repugs pushed a measure to make citizen initiatives impossible to place on the ballot.

A reminder while Republicans bitch about Dems finishing the redistricting fight they started: they have full control of gov’t— they can pass a law banning gerrymandering any time they want. They won’t. Republicans aren’t mad gerrymandering exists; they’re mad that they’re not the only ones using it.
