Yes, of course I endorse my fellow homeboy @fpwellman.bsky.social and @wellmanformo.bsky.social, because he’s better than this but also, MAKE IT STOP.

Where is Ann Wagner? She can't run on her 14 year record. She can't run on the economy. She can't talk about what she has done for the district. All these years she counted on gerrymandering and an R next to her name. Now she is in trouble and all she can do is smear me. It won't work.

I missed this in the now officially-competitive #MO02 House race. A GOP firm (no clue on how reliable they are) found an essentially tied race. How delicious would it be if Missouri wound up with a 5-3 map after aiming for a 7-1 map? @fpwellman.bsky.social www.firstalert4.com/2026/09/26/p...

Enough is enough. Public service shouldn't mean personal enrichment. Ann Wagner has lined her pockets and served her donors instead of us. I know what service means. I'm ready to go to DC and fight for the working people of Missouri.

Ann Wagner has been in office 14 years. She hasn’t defended her record as a member of Congress this entire election. She has attacked me. She has lied about how she has helped “middle class families.” She has said she’s just getting started. She has never held a town hall. She hasn’t debated.

I had so much fun at the Greentree Festival in Kirkwood where I grew up! So many friends stopping by to say hello! Thank you to all of our volunteers and Team Wellman staff that hung out in the heat! Got to hang with my friend Mark Boyko and the amazing Bonhomme Democrats! We’re not done yet!

This is corruption beyond measure. A Russian oligarch paid for the President’s son to party on a private island. Hunter Biden got a board seat and the Republicans went after him for years. This is literally the enemy that is killing Ukrainians and helping Iran target our men and women.

Dolly Parton logged a combined total of 115 years of union membership. Throughout her working life, the “9 to 5” singer/songwriter carried the union cards of two major unions: The American Federation of Musicians Local 257 in Nashville — for 58 years. SAG-AFTRA — for 57 years. HAPPY LABOR DAY!

Fred knows you can’t understand what people are dealing with from a cushy office in Washington. You have to get out, listen, answer the tough questions, and meet people where they are. That’s how Fred campaigns, and it’s how he’ll represent #MO02. #TeamWellman #StLouis #Missouri #NotDoneYet

It was a pleasure to sit down with Senator Slotkin this afternoon and talk about our race for Congress and what midwestern service oriented candidates bring to the table. Looking forward to getting the opportunity to work with her more as we take back Washington D.C.

Constant corruption is costing taxpayers. The company they bought the useless jets from was a donor to Kristi Noem. Yes, corruption is hurting working Americans. The Republican Congress doesn’t care. — Homeland Security Paid $464M for Airplanes. Then It Parked Them. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/13/u...

Homeland Security Paid $464 Million for Airplanes. Then It Parked Them. (Gift Article)
The agency used a no-bid contract to buy 10 used jets, saying they were urgently needed for deportation flights. But the fleet has largely sat idle for months.

A friend dug up a piece I did on my experience running NYP Ryan F. Larkin Field Hospital during the COVID crisis in NYC. In light of all of the madness this week I updated it. I was there. I saw what this disease did and the desperate fight we were in to stop it. It was much worse than you know.

They just don't care about seniors or working class Americans at all. Over and over this Administration decides to screw people already barely making ends meet. This isn't punishing the pharmaceutical companies. It's making medicine more expensive for seniors. They will lie over and over.

We are committing war crimes. We have no idea if the people in those boats are smugglers, hostages, fisherman, or anything else. We are killing them and have even double tapped survivors instead of rescuing them. These are war crimes...and for what? No change in price or availability of the drugs.
