Missouri’s Amendment 5 gives unchecked power for 5 years to the legislature to impose taxes on goods and services to be named later. Vote NO on 5 on August 4th

While the Missouri GOP has been awfully quiet about what some of the new taxes would be under their plan, taxing streaming services is one they have publicly mentioned. Vote NO on Amendment 5 on August 4

Amendment 4 creates two sets of rules on how to ratify constitutional amendments in Missouri: one for the legislature and one for the people. Another power grab by the GOP. Vote NO on Amendment 4 on August 4

Don’t be fooled by GOP promises Missouri. The “Tax Everything” Amendment 5 gives them 5 years to levy new sales and user taxes and we won’t get another vote on their plan. Unchecked taxation policy. That is what it hands them. Vote NO on 5 on August 4

Amendment 5 lets the MO legislature raise taxes on goods and services. What will be taxed? What will the tax rates be? They will let us know AFTER the election. Vote NO on 5 on August 4th

DAY 7 OF 55: If Amendment 5 passes, Missouri politicians will be able to raise or add taxes on every good or service in your life. The kicker? We find out after the election which goods and services and the new tax rate! Vote NO on Amendment 5 on Tuesday, August 4th.

DAY 3 OF 55: If Amendment 5 passes, Missouri politicians will be able to raise or add taxes on every good or service in your life. You're not getting a tax cut — you're getting taxed to death through a thousand tiny paper cuts. Vote NO on Amendment 5 on Tuesday, August 4th.

DAY 1 OF 55 Taxed by a thousand tiny cuts: The doctor's office. Vote NO on Amendment 5. August 4.

Nothing is certain but death and taxes. And now, Republicans plan to tax you to death. With new taxes on services and raising the state sales tax to double digits while touting it as a “tax cut”.

Martin Luther King Jr.’s life was cut short by gun violence over 50 years ago. His unyielding activism inspired a movement that changed the world, and taught us that it is always the right time to act.

Make no mistake: January 6, 2021 was a deadly attempted coup to overturn a democratic election—emboldened by Donald Trump and carried out by people using force and firearms to stop the peaceful transfer of power. 🧵

5 million-plus kindergartners now live in counties where schools don’t have “herd immunity” for measles, Washington Post reporters found. WaPo also built a tool to look up your own county. Exceptional, and alarming work by @laurenweberhp.bsky.social @caitlingilbert.bsky.social et al. (Gift link.)

Today, as we grieve the tragedy at Brown, we observe 13 yrs since the horrific school shooting at Sandy Hook. Since then, hundreds of thousands of Americans have died of gun violence. What’s perhaps most tragic is these deaths are preventable. We know the solutions. We need the conviction to act.

Sandy Hook should have been a wake up call...but no. Over and over we simply ignore the violence. This isn't what a civilized nation should do.

This is a coordinated attempt by the RNC, the MO Secretary of State, and the MO Attorney General to lie, cheat, and steal in order to protect a corrupt, gerrymandered map they know Missouri voters will overturn in a heartbeat. Missouri hasn’t lost its sense of right and wrong. They have.

When SNAP benefits vanish, it doesn’t just hurt the families who rely on them — it ripples through entire towns. Some rural grocery stores get up to 60% of their sales from SNAP benefits. When that support disappears, those stores close. Jobs vanish. Communities shrink.

Angus: American farmers who bought into Trump, thinking tariffs would help them—their markets are gone. Canada’s not making noise about it; we’re just moving in. Canadian corn is now being sold in Ireland, Spain, and the UK. Those used to be guaranteed American markets. Not anymore.

Republicans want you to believe this shutdown is about politics in Washington. But it’s about the Republican budget that would double ACA health insurance rates on American citizens. We said, NO. That’s why they shut the government down. And that’s why we fight. #shutdown2025 #ThisIsWhyWeFight
