Starting a pointless trade war with our most reliable partner as a distraction from your failed war in Iran (that you launched as a distraction from your administration covering up the Epstein files) isn’t going to win you any votes.

Missouri’s unelected Republican Attorney General is asking Scotus to invalidate my state’s constitution to force a gerrymander meant to oust Rep Emanuel Cleaver. They will do anything. Anything to consolidate power and rip it from the people including invalidating a state constitution.

What you need to understand is Missouri is a laboratory of autocracy. The billionaires and the GOP have been in cahoots for decades to see how they could disrupt democracy. What you see happening with our maps and our Secretary of State is pure chaos. Chaos for the sake of chaos…to disrupt voting.

In Missouri, Trump has lost 19 percentage points in net approval since he took office in 2025. This includes 14 points just since February. Trump fatigue is real. Use that pressure point in your communities to drive out voting in November. Remind them who is to blame for their pain.

If an incapacitated senator chooses not to resign, they legally keep their office, and their seat cannot be declared vacant by Senate leadership. Another little rule we should address in the next administration…who knew Republicans would find every loophole to every guardrail for democracy.

Why is Trump planning to shutter the Kennedy Center? Because they told him to take his name off the building, and a malignant narcissist can’t accept rejection. He can’t accept defeat. He can’t accept not getting his way. It’s the same reason he will never concede losing in 2020…

They won’t stop trying to defy court orders until they are out of power. The quickest way to take away their power is to vote for Democrats in November. Break the supermajority in the Missouri House and Senate and you break Denny Hoskins and Hanaway. Democrats will enforce accountability.
