Don’t forget to take a break and do things that bring you peace. The first of my iris just bloomed this week so I’m ignoring the world and tending to my garden tonight💜

Yesterday governor Kehoe signed the “Let Politicians Lie Act” into law Please pay attention #Missouri abc17news.com/news/missour...

CBO research just found that Trump's tax cuts would LOWER incomes by $4,400 per person by 2055. Meanwhile, the richest 10% get a trillion-dollar payday. This is literally not how you fix an economy.

Next week!

Today has been a day. Fred and I are calling it quits but we’ll be back at it bright and early tomorrow 😎

Just a reminder…. Inequality is the goal of everything they are doing We cannot let them win

This is a bill our rep here in the 130th, Bishop Davidson, has proudly cosponsored both times it has been introduced. We can honor the 2nd amendment and have common sense as well, but tying the hands of our police and making it easier to commit crime through unconstitutional laws is not the way

Way to show up #Missouri!!

How about they work to fix the reasons people don’t want to bring children into the world instead of bribing with $5k that doesn’t even cover the cost of delivery WITH insurance

I feel like it’s been a minute since I reminded everyone that I am running against a man who interned with the heritage foundation (authors of project 2025) I sure would love your support if you are like me and prefer your elected officials not to be associated with authoritarians

No politics…. Just a fun surprise I found in my viola basket 💚🐣

The Ozarks Food Harvest is estimated to lose $3 million in food due to Republican cuts. The We the People rally this Saturday brought in 2,642 pounds of food. That’s 2,202 meals

Next Monday!!!

Pope Francis was a great man who despite all of the ugliness in the world right now, encouraged people to love one another as Christ did and wants us to do. Rest well sir and send us strength from the other side. Lord knows we need it down here

Happy Easter to all who celebrate from the Joneses! So happy the rain is finally gone and we can finish the day with beautiful clear skies ☀️✝️

Happy Easter to those who celebrate! This week let’s take our MO politics break in the Missouri trees #takeabreak #missouri #getoutside

I talked with a 90 year old woman protesting today IN THE RAIN. Absolute rockstar and my new hero

Springfield showed up AGAIN in the rain! #missouri #wethepeople

Storms all day here in Springfield and we have 3 protests. As far as I know they are all still on. I am still planning on going to the one I am able to bc fascism doesn’t stop when it’s raining and neither should we. Get your rain gear and show up today even if it’s just for a short while!

Did you know Missouri is one of the top 5 states with the most expensive utilities? And our Republican supermajority just put through and signed a bill into law that is projected to raise utility rates by $1000 a year per household. #moleg #missouri

Now for the SECOND time after the 1st version of the bill was deemed unconstitutional…TWICE My rep Bishop Davidson is a sponsor of the first and second version of the Second Amendment Preservation Act...

Thank you to the Senate Dems in Jefferson City who filibustered all night to respect the outcome of our elections and the will of the people 💙 In Nov 57% of Missourians who voted were in favor of guaranteed paid sick leave and this should be honored whether our representatives agree with it or not

Right now MO Democrats in the senate are filibustering the Republicans’ attempt to repeal Prop A that Missourians voted on and passed just 6 months ago. Please reach out and tell your senators to respect the will of the people #moleg #missouri ⬇️⬇️⬇️

There’s only one party fighting for working families and it’s not the Republicans

Anyone want a break from the world? Here’s Freddie to help 😻

We can’t even get our elected Republican officials to let wrongfully convicted people go free. This is absolutely shameful

I’ve been under the weather today but finally got outside and was surprised with this book on my porch as a gift from a fellow dem in the 130th 💙 I’m only through the intro and I can already tell I am going to have a hard time putting this one down @rachelbitecofer.bsky.social

There are 3 protests going on THIS Saturday in Springfield. Now is the time to stand up and show the government that we are not ok with what they are doing. Getting out of this mess is going to be up to the people

Remember…. We just voted for this last November. It should be settled. They could be focusing on improving healthcare affordability/access, our childcare crisis, our roads, the housing crisis, our schools and lack of teachers , what to do when we lose federal funding….

Two weeks until our first event of 2025! I hope you can make it!

Enjoy a MO politics break in the tulips this morning 🌷 #missouri #getoutside #takeabreak

Have you heard the MO House Speaker Jon Patterson (R) lie to the faces of his constituents about accepting the will of the people at the ballot box? #moleg 1/4

Our representative in the 130th, Bishop Davidson, voted in favor of this bill. Of all the things lawmakers could be focusing on improving, they continue to focus on less and less gun laws in a state that already is in the lowest 10 for commonsense gun legislation #moleg #missouri
