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 ⬇️

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...

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...

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.
