Yvonne Reeves Chong @yreeveschong.bsky.social · 27/05/2026Amendment 4 rules for the NFL would mean the Chiefs lose unless they win all four quarters. But that’s not how football works. The only thing that matters is the final score. That’s how elections are supposed to work. A4 means citizen amendments LOSE unless they win EVERY SINGLE district. 021
Yvonne Reeves Chong @yreeveschong.bsky.social · 26/05/2026Funny how there’s always money for gold-plated statues, endless wars, and cronies. But veterans sleep outside, families struggle for food, and folks can’t afford a doctor. 031
Yvonne Reeves Chong @yreeveschong.bsky.social · 18/05/2026You see it. You can’t unsee it. We’re all getting screwed. 011
Yvonne Reeves Chong @yreeveschong.bsky.social · 30/12/2025But hey—at least we can all say we ‘cut taxes’ while paying more for literally everything else. 031
Yvonne Reeves Chong @yreeveschong.bsky.social · 29/12/2025If the name didn’t come to mind immediately, that’s the point. 040
Yvonne Reeves Chong @yreeveschong.bsky.social · 19/12/2025They didn’t release the files. Again. Folks notice patterns — and this one’s familiar. We’re not shocked. We’re done pretending. 020
Yvonne Reeves Chong @yreeveschong.bsky.social · 19/12/2025Supporting the troops means more than a check. I support the $1,776 bonus. I oppose paying for it by taking money meant to fix black mold and unsafe, unlivable conditions in military family housing. Military families already carry enough. They shouldn’t be asked to absorb bad budget choices. 043
Yvonne Reeves Chong @yreeveschong.bsky.social · 18/12/2025He's the “made for TV” president. I wasn't expecting The Simpsons. But here we are. 010
Yvonne Reeves Chong @yreeveschong.bsky.social · 18/12/2025I watched the speech. But my checkbook was doing all the talking. That’s the part I believe. 020
Yvonne Reeves Chong @yreeveschong.bsky.social · 17/12/2025We voted for lower prices, small government, and an end to endless foreign wars. We got military parades, ballroom, troops harassing Americans in the streets, looming WAR in Argentina. And prices are through the roof! The king has no clothes. 053
Yvonne Reeves Chong @yreeveschong.bsky.social · 16/12/2025They always find billions for the big guys — and crumbs for the folks doing the real work. That’s not helping farmers. That’s corporate welfare while rural folks get squeezed again. Short-term fixes for Big Ag. Long-term neglect for the rest of us. 021
Yvonne Reeves Chong @yreeveschong.bsky.social · 12/12/2025They promised “prosperity.” What we got were closed businesses, lost jobs, and families scraping by while everything costs more. We deserve better than broken promises and higher bills. We deserve a government that works for working people, not just the wealthy and well-connected. 011

Yvonne Reeves Chong @yreeveschong.bsky.social · 03/12/2025We spent more than $2 million in taxpayer money to blow up a 40-foot fishing boat off the coast of South America — and they’re calling it “national security.” Missiles. Drones. Gunships. F-35s. Helicopters. A naval task force. All mobilized… to sink a 40 foot boat. MAKE IT MAKE SENSE 010
Yvonne Reeves Chong @yreeveschong.bsky.social · 02/12/2025fast. Break the law, and the machine grinds you to dust. While you’re scrambling to afford a lawyer, they’re buying their way to freedom. This isn’t a glitch. It is the system. Justice isn’t broken—it’s for sale. 020
Yvonne Reeves Chong @yreeveschong.bsky.social · 29/11/2025Missouri’s Attorney General went into federal court and called the MO voters “uninformed plebiscites.” That’s lawyer-speak for “stupid.” We don’t need politicians talking down to us because someone in Jeff City thinks we’re beneath them. Missourians can think for ourselves — and we’ll prove it. 141
Yvonne Reeves Chong @yreeveschong.bsky.social · 21/11/2025Every parent who’s hauled a kid to grade school or wiped the tears of a disappointed teen… every parent who’s raised a family in a house with a mortgage… knows one simple truth: Kids come first. Always. If a grown man harms a child, you don’t stop to ask what party he belongs to. 010
Yvonne Reeves Chong @yreeveschong.bsky.social · 19/11/2025Mike Johnson actually said Congress must protect people who “knew Epstein but knew nothing of his crimes.” This man has never cared about “innocent people” when it was kids losing food stamps. But when powerful men and political allies might be exposed? We’re judging folks by the company they kept. 132
Yvonne Reeves Chong @yreeveschong.bsky.social · 17/11/2025Before we were Democrats or Republicans, we were human beings who understood the difference between a child and an adult. A fifteen-year old is a CHILD. And that shouldn't be Red or Blue. Release the files. Everything else is noise. 000
Yvonne Reeves Chong @yreeveschong.bsky.social · 15/11/2025So after a year of insisting “tariffs don’t raise prices,” Trump quietly drops the tariffs on beef, coffee, and fruit. Tariffs are TAXES — and while billionaires got a break, the rest of us got screwed. Thanks, Trump. Are we great yet? www.kmbc.com/article/trum... 011
Yvonne Reeves Chong @yreeveschong.bsky.social · 10/11/2025The right to speak. The right to assemble. The right to petition our government. It’s the quietest right — but the one that keeps democracy loud. Because if we can’t demand change, every other freedom is just a promise waiting to be broken. #RightToPetition #FirstAmendment #WeThePeople 032
Yvonne Reeves Chong @yreeveschong.bsky.social · 08/11/2025Republicans have been promising to repeal and replace Obamacare for fifteen years… and fifteen years later, their plan is still: ‘Trust me, bro. 021
Yvonne Reeves Chong @yreeveschong.bsky.social · 03/11/2025Republicans in Congress are trying to pass a continuing resolution because- according to them, they only needed seven more weeks to fulfill their constitutional duty to put a budget together for the country. The House Republicans haven’t worked in six weeks. 🤬 131
Yvonne Reeves Chong @yreeveschong.bsky.social · 30/10/2025When workers need food stamps to survive, it’s not because they’re lazy — it’s because corporations like Walmart and Amazon pay poverty wages. Those SNAP benefits? They’re not worker welfare — they’re corporate subsidies. The real welfare queens aren’t working families. They’re corporations. 054
Yvonne Reeves Chong @yreeveschong.bsky.social · 28/10/2025They found a way to twist the law for golden ballrooms — but somehow can’t unlock $5 billion in emergency aid to feed hungry Americans. WAKE UP. They found a way to tear down the White House — without rules. But keeping food on the table for American families? Suddenly, that’s “against the rules.” 074
Yvonne Reeves Chong @yreeveschong.bsky.social · 26/10/2025When SNAP benefits vanish, it doesn’t just hurt the families who rely on them — it ripples through entire towns. Rural grocery stores get up to 60% of their sales from SNAP benefits. When that support disappears, stores close. Poverty is contagious. And when government fails, it fails all of us. 030
Yvonne Reeves Chong @yreeveschong.bsky.social · 23/10/2025When we say we fight for farmers, we mean real people. Not corporate giants or Argentinian beef barons. Republicans are gutting family farms and leaving our towns for spare parts: They aren't about helping the heartland. They're selling it off. #StandWithFarmers #BreakUpBigAg #RuralNotCorporate 022
Yvonne Reeves Chong @yreeveschong.bsky.social · 21/10/2025Some things may never be recovered from this failed presidency 000
Yvonne Reeves Chong @yreeveschong.bsky.social · 17/10/2025Oh, look — they’ve mistaken public office for royal birthright. News flash: you’re not a ruler, you’re an employee. And the people still get the last say. Nice try. We’ll be voting anyway. 022
Yvonne Reeves Chong @yreeveschong.bsky.social · 16/10/2025They call it “freedom,” but somehow it keeps costing more — more insurance costs, more at the grocery store, more just to stay afloat. If this is freedom, why does it feel like everything’s at war with my wallet? Working people deserve better than slogans. We deserve solutions. 032
Yvonne Reeves Chong @yreeveschong.bsky.social · 14/10/2025A Michigan man bought a $290 part on eBay — and got slapped with a $183 “tariff” when it arrived. Why? Tariffs don’t punish countries. Tariffs punish YOU. TARIFFS are TAXES. Every trade war ends the same way: the rich stay rich, and working folks pay the price. #TariffsAreTaxefox17online.com'I was dumbfounded': Allegan man shocked by UPS charge after eBay purchaseAn Allegan man shares a warning after being charged $183 in tariff fees after an eBay order said free shipping. 031
Yvonne Reeves Chong @yreeveschong.bsky.social · 13/10/2025During the shutdown, Congress still gets paid, while Missouri families wait for paychecks. Something’s wrong when the people doing the work go unpaid, and the people causing the crisis cash their checks. 030

Yvonne Reeves Chong @yreeveschong.bsky.social · 09/10/2025This isn't politics. MTG spoke the truth about the Epstein Files and she's standing for the truth about the shutdown today. The healthcare cuts buried in the “Big Beautiful Bill” are going to drive premiums up 200% to 300%. Republicans need to stop playing games and get to work. 010
Yvonne Reeves Chong @yreeveschong.bsky.social · 08/10/2025It’s not unpatriotic to expect integrity from power. It’s the most patriotic thing we can do. I’ve patrolled streets where people lived in fear of their own country’s soldiers. I never thought I’d see that fear here. I was wrong. This is wrong. 011
Yvonne Reeves Chong @yreeveschong.bsky.social · 08/10/2025Workers furloughed. Families waiting. Bills piling up. It doesn’t take magic — it takes 50 votes to end the filibuster and reopen government. There are 53 Republicans. If they really wanted to end the shutdown, they would. Fifty votes. Zero excuses. 010
Yvonne Reeves Chong @yreeveschong.bsky.social · 07/10/2025They didn’t need Democratic votes for their “Big Beautiful Bill.” They didn’t need them for Pete Hegseth or RFK, But suddenly, they can’t keep the lights on without us? Make it make sense. 011
