There is a difference between someone who doesn't know what he's saying vs. someone who thinks he can get away with saying anything.

The people who posted during the 2017 Stockley protest era, "I understand why people refuse to vote as an act of civil disobedience" and then I'd have to remind them that civil disobedience is why women and Black people can vote. I won't tolerate that nonsense in 2026 for five seconds.

Progressive Missourians: IDC where you live in the state, if you refuse to vote for any democrat (Bell included, it is what it is, we'll get him soon) or refuse to vote out of "protest" this November, please do me a favor and fuck off forever. Thanks.

The *one* good thing to come out of the MAGA era may be the awareness of who runs elections at the state level and how important and crucial those elected officials are for the survival of a participatory democracy.

If you live in a state with 2 GOP senators, a reminder that yours are just as cynical (and maybe as stupid) as Eric Schmitt. Seeing a lot of "Missouri voters are stupid," and (A) not all of us voted for that fucking asshole and (B) you have **the same** dumb voters. Schmitt didn't win in a vacuum.

Do you remember when this was called "snackable" content? (No one parodied the "format"--which was never really a thing--quite as well as that 30 Rock.)

How many of the people he forced this speech onto know he (maybe/probably) did a rail in the car right before he got on stage?

Wow. We've come a long way from Uncle Sam. Is that what they're printing on recruiting posters?

Oh, I've seen that. As the song says, I saw it with my own two eyes.

He's not quite b-ball height (he's tall, but more like 6'6") and the ad I'm thinking of is just him swinging a baseball bat talking about what he's going to beat up once he gets to DC or whatever. And that ad isn't as cringey as the "blowtorch" ad...so pathetic that he won by so many points.

Rachel Parker @msraitchetp.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

Let's define "we" and what that means. The House, led by Dems, held Trump accountable and impeached him. History deserves the right context: Pressured by Mitch McConnell, the Senate GOP refused to convict Trump. They could have ended this. Every single sitting Dem tried to stop him.

Since the nation is waking up this morning to be reminded about what an absolute shill of an idiot Missouri's junior Sen. Eric Schmitt is, I went searching for one of his more egregious campaign ads. Found his current YouTube page instead. The total views warmed my bitter, cold heart.

Rachel Parker @msraitchetp.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

Hi, Missourian here. Would you believe me if I told you that he ran ads where he was "playing" baseball like he was some badass thirst trap*? *Yes, you'd totally believe this because you're not, unlike him, a total and complete idiot.

I'm a mid-career marketing strategist/copywriter who is basically just staring into a dark future where I *only* see AI replacing me. Sure, today there are some aspects of my work that AI sucks at...today. My value has been eroded pretty significantly. Will that change? Maybe, but I don't think so.

Rachel Parker @msraitchetp.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

I accept that. What keeps me up at night are the cyber security risks that are seemingly going unchecked and why we can't get straight answers from the frontier labs about what they do--or don't--know about them. A hyper-recent example: www.wired.com/story/a-tool...

It says a lot that Wagner didn't bother showing up. What's fucking annoying is that the 2nd district (no matter where lines have been drawn) don't seem to care that she never, ever shows up. Fred did a great job. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Iu1...

Since she's in the news today for being a general badass, I'd like to submit the moment the Academy Awards literally peaked. 1991. Singing Sondheim, wearing Bob Mackie. It never, ever got better than this. www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6Yh...

We need an agency that independently verifies the claims about AI. We won't get it while Trump is in office, but none of these people in the private sector should be trusted without data-backed research that's made publicly available. If we do it for cars and drugs, we need it for AI.

This is one of their main mid-cycle talking points for ads. Ann Wagner (St. Louis) is running them right now. She's also claiming they happen in elementary school bathrooms. These people are nuts.

Rachel Parker @msraitchetp.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Yep. The red wave never happened, they looked like idiots for claiming it would, they were ashamed and humiliated and went on to sow chaos in the House speaker election. Ahhh...good times.

Re: Warner Bros/Paramount: Be more mad at the failures to regulate at the Federal level than you are at Rob Bonta. There's only so much you can do as the only adult in the room when we have no fucking federal law enforcement in place. This isn't like AGs suing to protect the ACA.

I have known him personally for quite some time. He ran for Senate in 2022 (and lost to the hum drum rich heiress who shall not be mentioned). He's massively intelligent, thoughtful and committed to serve the people of his community and our state. Donate here: ---> www.jewelkelly.com

Even if you don't live in St. Charles (let alone where that is) PLEASE consider making a donation to my friend Jewel Kelly. He's in a district that is suddenly up for grabs, and a win would mean Dems could end the super majority in Missouri's legislature: www.youtube.com/watch?v=OVpx...

See also, the machinists union parting ways with Trump. Team? He ran the country before. For four years. Did you all not get enough data from 2016-2020 to know he was no friend of labor and a total chaos agent???????

Has anyone every actually investigated her immunocompromised claims? My late husband was immunosuppressed and we were never so cagey about it. Also, he almost never wore a mask outside (even at the height of the pandemic, maybe in the rare situation). It's giving...confusing.

I tolerated when he at least decent good attempts at making live, engaging, thoughtful programming. What pushed me over the edge was his constant push of antivaxxers and snake oil peddlers (during Trump 1.0, pre-COVID). I was like "yeah, no one is this entertaining." His COVID bs was AW-FUL.

This WHOOOOOLLLLLE thread. I second all of it, esp. the Dore analogy and the Chorus bullshit which I'm still questioning why Wired published). She's an online personality who suffers the same pathological fame addiction as anyone. She shouldn't be trusted, quoted, or shared. Bye, girl.

I am *genuinely* saddened that more people aren't helping this story trend online. The amount of work that goes into sourcing stories like this is astonishing. Please care as much about this as you do the guy who got kicked off the tour. Yes, they're related. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

No shade but do we really have to care what Bill Maher says or does anymore? His biggest enemy is his failing relevance and he knows it. He's always been a problematic, third rail, contrarian asshole. It just used to be less obvious.

Never, ever underestimate the impact of discovery. Lawsuits are deeply important in that they can uncover documents during the discovery phase that are damning and can be referenced and used in future claims. We owe the NYT a lot for sticking its neck out for this.

At a time when Hollywood is under threat of extinction, they are behaving in ways that make the entire industry less and less defensible. This is also just bad, bad business. They've already paid for the movie. Dumb, amoral cowards. www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/politic...

And I would still like those alarms to be taken seriously and for the people ringing them to testify in front of Congress, treated as whistleblowers replete with documentation, patterns of fact, and credible evidence.

Rachel Parker @msraitchetp.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

No matter what side of what perspective you happen to share here's what we need to do: Congressional testimony with documentation. You say you're a whistleblower? Do a Frances Haugen. Bring those receipts to DC and share them with the public.

I genuinely would like to travel to a parallel universe where I could see the media's response if Joseph Robinette Biden or Barack Hussein Obama made up a fucking easily verifiable lie of being "rescued" on 9/11.

I'm so deeply disappointed that with so much on the line in Missouri that national news outlets still haven't developed relationships with local sources here yet. I know there have been a lot of cuts, but this is national politics and MO kicked off this process. Do better. Honestly.

We're using the map from 2022, even if it's delayed. (Will be interesting to see what happens to Hoskins today at his contempt hearing.) If I were Hanaway, I'd be very, very mum right now. JFC she's really stepping in it.
