Big exciting Saturday night. Guess I’m gonna stay right here 😻

It has been one full week since my rep told me I was spreading false info regarding the regressive outcomes of eliminating the income tax at his event. I asked him for his sources and he asked me to send him mine as well ⬇️

We had to pull out every chair at the Teamsters Hall for the Lets Get Active event in Greene county today 💙🔥

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

Did you know in 2016 Missouri voters passed an amendment prohibiting expanding sales taxes to services?

Did you know the lowest income earners in #Missouri pay more of their income to taxes than the wealthiest? And now they want to eliminate income taxes which will benefit the wealthy even more

Time to dissociate with my sweet lil Fred

Current mood 😎💅 The time to resist has passed. It’s time for the opposition #goodtrouble #speakup #dosomething

We need a work requirement for the Missouri GOP. They plagiarize bills, scroll on their phones all day, disrespect the voters, work 90 days a year, and walk away with taxpayer-funded healthcare and a state pension.

“There was no testimony in support of the bill besides Brattin.” The party that has been complaining about gov waste sure does waste a lot of taxpayer $ and time on hate when they could be spending that time helping the state move forward 1/3 www.columbiamissourian.com/news/state_n...

“The federal government is by far Kansas City’s largest employer and a major economic engine. Experts warn the region’s economy will feel the pain when jobs disappear” missouriindependent.com/2025/02/05/n...

This country has lost its way. I am absolutely heart broken learning about this 💔 www.cbsnews.com/losangeles/n...

King George is laughing at us from his grave today

Even Josh Hawley has spoken out against this ⬇️

A bill to protect one of the world’s largest chemical companies from charges it didn’t warn customers that one of its most popular products causes cancer won first-round approval Tuesday in the Missouri House. How is this even up for debate? missouriindependent.com/2025/02/18/m...

Freddie has been watching the headlines with me all day and he is not impressed. I feel ya bud. I feel ya

“The flippant and disturbing remarks heard today about establishing ‘e-Harmony for babies’ encouraging prospective families to shop for children should ring alarm bells for everyone,’ Schwarz said in a statement to The Independent.” www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Hope everyone affected by the snowstorm is staying warm! I know I’ve been in good company today 😻

“Opponents of the tax credit include homeschooling families and public educators” missouriindependent.com/2025/02/18/m...

They don’t like strong women. My rep called me aggressive at his event this weekend and I say good. Glad I got his attention. We aren’t playing around and they should be worried about the smart women standing up to this BS coming from the republican leadership.

Missouri Republican lawmakers continue to legislate with hate and discrimination 💔

I may not have won the election this past Nov, but I will not stop advocating and standing up for the people in my district and throughout MO. Especially those of us who feel like we are being poorly represented and/or ignored ⬇️

This weekend my rep held another event to push his bill to eliminate the income taxes in MO. He used TN and FL as examples of states that have no income tax that we should strive to be like 1/4

Well one of us showed up to both of my rep’s events this weekend. And it wasn’t my rep… 15 minutes in and he still hasn’t started the video This is the 3rd Sunday 5:00 hour right?

I went flower hunting this week 😁Time for a MO politics break with some of the first flowers of the year. Spring is coming #takeabreak #getoutside #missouri

“Public floods Missouri's Musk-inspired DOGE portal with calls to protect abortion rights”… that’s a headline I like to see 😎💙

Today Saturday Feb 15 at 4:00, Mothers Brewing in Springfield. Billionaire Koch brothers funded group Americans for Prosperity is having another event led by our Republican reps trying to sell their income tax scam to Missourians. 1/2

#Missouri is listed as 18th Did you know Missouri is one of only 13 states to tax food? Sales tax is a much bigger burden on average Missourians than income taxes which is where Republican lawmakers are aiming to cut 1/3

Let Missouri Republican lawmakers know where you think they are wasting our tax dollars here at our very own DOGE portal: www.senate.mo.gov/committeefor...
