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

These idiots don’t think. A child cant get a piercing (non ears) in most states without a parent’s signed consent and presence. All 50 states plus DC have statutory laws requiring a person receiving a tattoo be at least 18 years old, but the school’s going to alter their gender? Really? Such BS

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.

Money buys power now. Dark money entered politics in a crucial 2010 Supreme Court landmark case Citizens United v. FEC decision in January 2010, giving corporations and unions 1st amendment rights to spend unlimited amounts leading to PACs, Super Pacs and untraceable donation sources.

They have the power he desires? He can’t bully them in the same way as our allies? He is very loud and opinionated when he hides behind tv cameras and truth social but when he is face to face with a real dictator he becomes a fawning little lap dog? ….. just a couple of guesses.

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.

I’m actually an Independent myself, but I do believe in putting our tax dollars to work on education, workers and those suffering rather than giving corporations and billionaires a free ride. No money for the health care mess in our country but we can spend billions fighting Iran. SMH

Today Politico quoted Chris Murphy on the Iran War: Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) posted: “We are spending billions to keep our entire navy in the Strait to fecklessly fail to open a waterway that wasn’t closed until Trump’s pointless war of choice closed it. He’s just burning your tax money.”
