Nothing like beating someone for exercising their First Amendment.

Meanwhile, Melania's immigration history - which has raised legitimate public questions - never gets the same scrutiny. That’s not about immigration law. That’s about power and who federal law enforcement gets pointed at.

Hoskins kicked to the curb Missouri law - statute RSMo §115.157 - MO's voter‑data disclosure limits. He offered to host an audit in Jefferson City, do it remotely, or hell - pack up the whole thing and hand‑deliver it to their offices in Washington, D.C. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Here are the amendments that you will see on the Nov. 3rd ballot and our position. YES on 6, the rest are tricks.

Missouri's “Nah, let ’em sink" by deciding it’s just too much trouble to use the optional federal exemptions that help low‑income folks keep Medicaid when they’re hospitalized, have to travel for medical care, or live in places slammed by disasters or high unemployment.

72 days. That's all the House worked because Mike Johnson repeatedly sent members home early when his razor-thin Republican majority ran into trouble on the floor. Even Republican Rep. Ralph Norman wrote on X: "The founders did not envision taking this much time off and still getting paid."

The importance of the Roadless Rule protections cannot be overstated. We have until October 6 to tell our government to NOT rescind the Roadless Rule! Speak up: act.americanrivers.org/page/101689/...

Trump using taxpayer dollars to build a government backed media platform and then claiming it as his own is ethically rotten to the core. www.newsweek.com/trump-tv-tra...

Nothing says “creative desperation." Students for Life just filed notice that they’re fixin’ to sue the FDA for supposedly ignoring the Endangered Species Act - which is a head scratch, considering Trump’s been busy gutting that same law. Read here: thehill.com/policy/healt...

Trump made multiple false claims in his address to the United Nations General Assembly. He was a total embarrassment to the United States. Here is a fact check of some of his crap; cnn.it/3V7idB5

It’s a pattern. Republicans voted against paid sick leave in 1993, 2015, 2020, 2022, and even repealed it here in Missouri after voters approved it. They will keep voting against it whenever it comes up.

After watching the exchange between Kennedy and Patel - my first thought was good Lord…Patel actually sat at a table and decided what was “acceptable.” Someone might want to take a hard look at whatever Patel has going on with his personal computer.

Well hell…I made this last night, but after this morning’s news I'm already gonna have to update it. Gas is jumping again, which means diesel’s about to spike, which means MO families are about to feel it in their grocery bills. So yeah...the “additional cost” sections just got a whole lot uglier.

Hold on to your ass, folks. It’s about to get real fun at the pump. Analysts warn that climbing gas and diesel prices will reach new highs in the coming hours. Details: www.newsweek.com/gas-prices-t...

Yep...Trump told attendees during the Republican convention to raise their right hands and repeat a pledge. He said: “I don’t care if I’m registered or not. I’m going to try and cheat like hell..."

The MO Supreme Court has ordered Republican Secretary of State Denny Hoskins to appear in person Thursday and explain why he violated their court order - specifically pointing to Hoskins’ email instructing counties to use the new HB 1 map despite the injunction.

When Trump - who was miles away - starts spinning yarns about being dragged out of rubble, it’s not just a lie. It’s a theft of valor.
