The Kansas City metro region is home to roughly 30,000 federal workers. At a town-hall, some of them confronted their GOP member of Congress about their worry they'll lose their job. He responded "God has a plan." www.kansascity.com/news/politic...

U.S. Attorneys are not the President’s lawyers. They are the United States’ lawyers. You didn’t pledge an oath to a President, you pledged it to the constitution. This statement alone is reason enough to resign.

Everyone seems to be forgetting that Bongino got his big break as a video host for the NRA. They are putting an NRA spokesman as the Deputy FBI Director.

This expose on the deaths and abuses of adults with disabilities is agonizing reading. Missouri’s developmental disability system has an ongoing abuse and neglect problem and the Republicans who’ve run our state into the ground for decades need to answer for it. #moleg #mogov

Had the great good fortune to hear @piperformissouri.bsky.social speak at the Boone County Democrats’ chili supper fundraiser last night. I was thrilled when we first arrived to see the crowd, to thank many of our state & local electeds, to cheer on fellow volunteers who do the work so that 1/

Holy Hannah, this standing-room-only crowd at the Boone County Democrats chili supper. So grateful to be here, with our fellow Missourians who are committed to build back this party🇺🇸

We support local journalism and journalism education. But this is not the print @nytimes.com our family subscribes to. I’m hoping the appearance of the Missourian is only the universe saying “go back to bed” and not “drop dead.”

Ending discrimination is a good idea; #mogov order is rooted in racism and discrimination: “The executive order from Gov. Kehoe is extremely disturbing,” NAACP's Chapel said. “It is part of an anti-Black agenda that seeks to revert our nation back to segregation and Jim Crow. We refuse to go back.”

This loser Ed Martin is profiled by CNN and at the top of my local Columbia ABC/Fox affiliate's page today. He couldn't get elected to Congress, couldn't get elected to statewide office, spent years at the bottom of the Missouri political ladder with Phyllis Schlafly: abc17news.com/politics/nat...

In Michigan’s first year with red flag laws in place, nearly 300 guns were removed from individuals who were believed to be a threat to themselves or others. That’s 300 opportunities to stop gun violence taken and countless lives saved 👏

Listening into floor debate in the Missouri House today, where Republicans are very animated about the need to stand up for pesticides and in opposition to...the UN and to the WHO? Rep. LaDonna Applebaum rises to speak powerfully about her own stage 4 cancer--and why #moleg should protect others.

1/ I am seeing a lot of comments on the slashing of NIH support along the lines of “universities should just spend their huge endowments.” I’m the last person to cheer on the institutional stratification rising endowments have contributed to. But let me explain why this is not a solution.

Due to ongoing winter storms and the road conditions in mid-Missouri, Missouri @momsdemand.bsky.social cancelled today's informational tabling event in the #moleg Capitol rotunda. Disappointed, but we'll be back soon! Stay safe out there, Missouri friends.

"It is a fundamental error to believe that DOGE is a government efficiency project. Cutting 1 in 4 federal employees would cut federal government spending by 1%. Cost savings are incidental. DOGE is a political control project."

For those unfamiliar, the Associated Press is a non-profit cooperative formed by US news organizations that covers news for its 1,300 member papers, radio stations and TV stations. It is the foundation of the American press. It has always gotten the first seat and first question at official events.

RFK Jr. was just confirmed as our nation’s health secretary. He blames mass shootings on video games and medicine, and has proved he will NOT treat our gun violence epidemic like the public health crisis it is. This was a reckless choice, and we are all less safe because of it.

The Missouri House General Laws Committee is hearing House Bill 1175. This bill rewrites the "Second Amendment Preservation Act", nullifying federal gun laws in MO. This deadly bill was passed in 2021 and ruled unconstitutional by the 8th Circuit. #MoLeg #HB1175 Live feed: tinyurl.com/bdcrxnvs

Good news: after we raised the alarm, DOGE has been blocked from accessing sensitive Department of Education data. Your Social Security number, income data, and personal information are safe for now. We will keep fighting back.
