Beware Missouri! We vote for initiatives (legalize abortion, raise minimum wage, and family leave). Yet, we vote in mostly republicans. They feel the voters don’t know what we’re doing and try to erase our votes. They have put trans fear into prop 3 to blind voters which will outlaw abortion again!

As an older person- I don’t usually want time to move more quickly; however, I cannot make time move fast enough until the mid-terms! I’m so tired of NOTHING stopping this monster robbing us blind and embarrassing Americans daily!

Pay attention...there is reason for concern, here. Be prepared to know what to do and to know what to look for in regard to your mail-in ballot and the post office.

I thought after retirement I could finally go to Washington DC, and I would be a travel as a proud tourist. Well,damn! I’m too late! The WH looks like crap and Washington DC is full of gross DT propaganda. I’m so angry. How do our elected officials allow this?

Someone please explain this to me- I’m an English major not an economist. We, the consumers paid extra because of tariffs. Supreme Court tells DT that tariffs are illegal. So businesses got money. WTF? Why aren’t consumers getting the money? I’m so sick of this bs.

I’m not a Spring Chicken; however, I knew when to retire from teaching- we just start missing a step. Can we agree if a person is over 80 they should not be in government anymore? How about using your expertise to mentor younger people who want to get into politics.

Can someone tell me what happens when a person lies under oath to congress? They lie, lie, and lie some more. No one seems to have any consequences. Is all of this just theater? Are we in a reality tv show?

Republicans think they can gerrymander to help them for the midterms. They underestimate how much they are despised and how most of us see them as incompetent, feckless, and useless at governing! Better get your resumes ready Republicans- there’s no way you still have a job. Bye bye!!

On this day of the Met Gala I’m seething that billionaires and other countries totally capitulated. They groveled and brought their “trophies” to gain favor. People with this much wealth have to give back to the country and its people who helped them achieve this. Trickle down economics is BS!

@actblueorg.bsky.social I saw a graphic showing money Republicans have in relation to Democrats for the mid-terms. I think most Democrats want to contribute (albeit it might be $10). I get at least 5-10 text messages and so many emails to donate daily. Can there be a drive that is more organized?

Teaching a few Shakespeare plays to my high school students, Lindsey Graham is Cassius from “The Tragedy of Julius Caesar,” or Iago from “Othello.” Whispering evil to a person with power to attain their nefarious goals. Any other Shakespeare characters fit this description?

Damn it. We are totally repeating history. We went to war against Iraq because of weapons of mass destruction, terrorist groups, and evil leaders. We were in the Middle East for 20 years! Why do we keep doing this? There are tons of evil threats in the world. This is the biggest cluster f-ck!

FYI: Dems in the senate can't defund ICE. ICE is funded by the Big Ugly Bill. Shutting down DHS on this vote wouldn't touch ICE, but it would shut down FEMA, TSA, Coast Guard, etc. Shutting down ICE requires taking back Congress in the midterms. Dismantling DHS requires the White House in 2028.

A question to fellow democratic voters. I refuse to label myself as a dem or rep-I will vote for best candidate. This is bs that democrats have terrible ratings. Most democrats are not answering these “polls.” So these ratings are simply not anywhere near what pollsters really think. Thoughts?
