Every single word of this. We are embarrassed. We are furious. Missouri Senator Eric Schmitt is unfit for office. He’s a clown. He’s a danger to our country. And he can’t be trusted with the pile of dog shit in my backyard. His term is up in 2028.

If a candidate in your district/state is running on “my opponent wants gender mutilation surgeries for minors on the taxpayer dime” they’re not a serious candidate and they have no policy to run on. Vote for their opponent. Bring your neighbors.

Each time Missouri SOS Denny Hoskins is asked why he won’t certify the signatures, his answer is “it doesn’t make sense.” There’s whole lot that “doesn’t make sense” to our SOS who couldn’t even win 25% of the vote in his primary. That doesn’t make it unconstitutional. @peoplenotpolsmo.bsky.social

In 9/2025, Missouri Republicans bent over & pushed through a gerrymandered map. They couldn’t tell you who drew it, how districts were decided, what data was used, or where the lines fell. Thank you to Rep Bosley for demanding answers. Unfortunately the submissive MO GOP had none. #MoLeg #Missouri

Pretty astounding stuff out of Missouri today. The state of Missouri argued in front of the Missouri Supreme Court that that they plan on defying court orders and MO law by placing the gerrymandered map on the November ballot even if the referendum is ruled legal. I hope everyone’s paying attention.

I will not be lectured about “supporting women” by anyone who sent “grab ‘em by the pussy” to the White House. When a man shows up to a WNBA game to taunt the women trying to play the game, he doesn’t give one shit about those women. This was never about protecting women. Period.

The people who vote in our primaries and choose our nominees ARE "our resources," "our volunteers," "our infrastructure." If you don't like who wins their votes, YOU are the one who hates our party. Our party is not 250 legislators in Washingon DC. It's the millions of voters across the country.

Hey Missouri, we have a real shot at finally getting rid of Ann Wagner in CD2. That opportunity is with @wellmanformo.bsky.social! I’ve always been #TeamWellman & I’m happy to talk with anyone about why. His primary opponent is highly problematic, giving me just one more reason to support Fred! 
Facebook post from Laura Burkhardt:

I will never vote for a woman just because she's a woman.
Do we need more women in office?Absolutely!
Do we need the right women in office? Absolutely!
There's a difference. We have to dig deeper folks.

A woman wrote Missouri's abortion ban. Don't ever forget that. l've been called misogynistic for supporting a man candidate over a woman. That woman candidate posted a video on her campaign page publicly naming and targeting me. She has boasted about an endorsement from a maga campaign adviser/volunteer, lied about financial disclosure reporting, lied about having a twitter account, lied about a candidate who showed up for me when I was getting death threats for standing up for Black educators and students in my school district. And now that same candidate is encouraging folks to eat at the restaurant owned by a Moms for Liberty School Board candidate, the same ones who mercilessly attacked our public schools. That is not a woman I will support, regardless of her gender.
When I tell you I support a candidate, know that there's a whole lot of weight behind it. There's a story. It's not the party, it's not the gender, it's who I believe, for personal reasons, is going to fight for those who need it the most.
Period.Facebook comment from Laura Burkhardt:

The candidate I'm talking about is Joan VonDras. It's absolute lunacy that I should support her because she's a woman.

Remember when Rockwood was in the national news over the crt nonsense? Frederick Paul Wellman showed up for me when I was getting doxxed and threatened. He stood up for those kids and those teachers in a way that so many people wouldn't. So many "allies" were afraid to put their name out there because they saw what was happening to me. Fred didn't skip a beat. That's who I want in Congress.
