Rep Bob Onder held a Town Hall Call last night in which he lied for a handful of questions and then bailed. It was completely obvious that he serves Trump but has no allegiants to his constituents. šŸ§µ

Update - Bob Onder WILL have a town hall TONIGHT from 6-7 pm. It will be over the telephone with restricted questions vetted by his staff. Info below:

Great idea!

Russia invaded Crimea. Russia invaded Ukraine. Russia costs the international community lots of money because of the oligarchsā€™ greed. Corrupt politicians in America must stop parroting Putinā€™s talking points. Russia should end the war and pay restitution. #USA #Ukraine #NATO

If youā€™re near Washington, MO, you can pay $20 to ask this all-white, all-male panel of Republican lawmakers questions. Honestly, if I werenā€™t five hours away, Iā€™d pay to get in front of these folks.

The United States should affirm its commitment to NATO and North American allies. The war in Ukraine and the West will end when Putin and Russia stop terrorizing it. Not all Americans voted for the disrespect and treachery on display this weekend. #NATO #USA #NotMyPresident

1000 probationary Department of Veterans Affairs employees fired. OIT, Procurement, and Veterans Benefits Administration. They are lying and saying it wonā€™t affect support for veterans. news.va.gov/press-room/v...

#WhatToExpectOnValentinesDay A knock on the door, a phone call, and a postcard in the mail, becauseā€¦ The City Council election is coming up!

šŸšØCALL TO ACTIONšŸšØ This morning the Missouri General Laws Committee heard HB1175. This is a rewriting of SAPA law (essentially nullifies any federal gun laws that MO doesnā€™t have as state law), which was already ruled unconstitutional in federal courts.

they can take over the entire country but they can never actually be cool and it will eat at them forever

We are here to help. runforwhat.net

Scientific innovation fuels big changes and impacts globally, particularly when we consider the ways that American ag research feeds the world. Clean water and grain research in North America leads to cleaner water, green energy, & more robust crops in Africa & South America too.

With USAID cuts, food & feed prices will increase. Small farmers will be forced to sell their land because they canā€™t afford insurance, fertilizer, feed or their own prescriptions. Why should sacrifice Missouriā€™s top industries & food security so that billionaires can own more & pay fewer taxes?

I joined @MissouriAction and voters to speak with Senators Hawley and Schmitt or their staff about recent financial data breaches and workplace intimidation of federal employees. No voters could access either Senator or their staff in-person or over the phone #Mann4MO #Resist

There should never be a political litmus test for public service. Workers should never be threatened or intimidated by their employer. Federal employees protect and defend American families from enemies both foreign and domestic. I am thankful for their service and defense of our Constitution.

He was unqualified and the Congressmen and Senators who supported him now own that decision. May God bless and protect our troops and our people from enemies both foreign and domestic. I am thankful for Senator Duckworthā€™s leadership in defending our Constitution.

A small way you can contribute to the resistance is to preserve knowledge. You can preserve knowledge by storing historical books, texts, etc. I also cannot stress enough the importance of having a personal handwritten journal. You are now the writers and preservers of accurate history.

The Cole County Missouri Democratic Central Committee has an ad in the Sunday edition of the Jefferson City News Tribune for #MLKDay Design by Dustin Bax

Trumpā€™s unqualified and embarrassing nominees for important cabinet positions do not surprise me. Itā€™s a strategy to flood the media with reports of sexual violence to destabilize survivors of sexual assault and use fear to control. #WrongDirection #USA

A reminder that these companies profited from the detention of immigrants during the first Trump administration.

Veterans in LA you can also reach out to the VA. The Brentwood campus is being evacuated so local contacts may not be available.

We could do this in Missouri, but our house and state senators would have to stop complaining about the snow and end their culture wars. 20+ years of GOP control delivers nothing but incompetence and bailouts for rich guys and corporations.

You don't do this. No ethical person does this to their vendors and partners. This is the hallmark of a crook. www.wired.com/story/metas-...

The U.S. should support our NATO allies rather than invade them. Ukraine should join NATO. We are Stronger Together. Putin wants a world where the U.S. capitulates to his demands for Russian expansion using our military. When we unite, his terror ends #USA #Ukraine #NATO

Americans expect a peaceful transfer of power after the results of a democratically-held election. On January 6, I am thankful for the heroes who defended the U.S. Capitol from a storm of domestic terrorists four years ago (1/3)

Solidarity with Federal workers. Civil servants protect the United States and provide essential services. Politicians (and insurrectionists) should stop playing games and threatening their livelihoods right before Christmas in an attempt to dismantle the U.S. Government.

Medicare & Social Security should be protected from privatization schemes and politicians who sell American workers short. Corporations shouldnā€™t be able to fleece seniors for healthcare and housing after a lifetime of hard work and earned benefits. HANDS OFF OUR EARNED BENEFITS.

Congratulations to the brand new Gasconade County LGBTQIA+ group! It was an absolute joy to meet everyone & plan on ways to bring more people together. Itā€™s exciting and heartwarming to see more rural Missouri organizing. For info on how to join the group, please reach out. Iā€™ll connect you. (1/3)
