Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

The Senate bent the knee again, confirming Kash Patel for a 10-year term as director of the FBI. The 51-49 vote was mostly along party lines, with Republican Sen's Susan Collins & Lisa Murkowski joining the Democrats. Patel’s primary qualification for the job is his loyalty to Donvict.

Since Trump has allowed Musk's unvetted SpaceX engineers to replace hundreds of terminated FAA employees, the timeline reflects the most deadly month of US aviation disasters in more than a decade.

MO law still says same-sex marriages are a no-go, which is pretty wild since that law was made null & void after Obergefell but this outdated rule is still on the books. Democratic Sen. Webber tried to get it removed when they update the laws in Aug. Republicans shot it down.

There's always a new GOP low. Missouri, with 17 other states, is suing the U.S. government, arguing that Section 504 is unconstitutional and should be eliminated. This would dismantle protections that prevent discrimination against people with disabilities. theeducatorsroom.com/in-a-new-law...

@jenpsaki.msnbc.com: “Guys, they are not being subtle. And as we watched those comments from Trump and Vance and their allies in Congress over the weekend… it was clear that they were laying the groundwork to openly defy court orders. And today... a judge said they already have.”

USDA is still withholding funds from farmers for conservation programs, despite Trump stating last week that funds to individuals would not be frozen. At least one MO producer posted videos on TikTok worried he could lose his farm. USDA “reneged” on his cost-share contract.

Fascist's trying to control the media in the White House. One advantage today's media & journalists have that old school news does not: the internet - opposition can't be silenced as easily nowadays & the reach is much farther than ever before. Support independent journalists and news outlets.

Renters pay their biggest bill every month—but unlike homeowners, they don’t get credit for it. MO Dem. State Rep. Aaron Crossley's HB 938 changes that. It's time to make rent count toward building credit. 🔗 housingwire.com/articles/ren...

“An unelected billionaire has set up shop in the central nervous system of the United States government in defiance of all constitutional authority, hiring his own private security to protect the property of the people from the people, and no one knows how to stop him. Welcome to dystopia.”

USAID purchases approximately $2 billion yearly from U.S. farmers. It’s a sharp blow to rural America, which strongly backed Donvict in the 2024 election. #FAFO

Bayer creates a problem by exposing consumers to chemicals that cause cancer & then gets paid for medicine to treat the cancer. Well...that explains why Bayer is pressuring MO legislators to pass SB14 www.senate.mo.gov/25info/BTS_W... The bill shields them from any lawsuits. Call your legislator!

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

Jeffries: "It's unfortunate that many of our Republican colleagues are determined to stand up a shadow government of the billionaires, by the billionaires, and for the billionaires that will stick it to the American people. That's what's driving much of the behavior on the other side of the aisle."

Eric Burlison can't honor "States Rights" especially when 51.6% of MO voters passed Amend. 3 to establish a constitutional right to reproductive rights. The GOP has said over & over to leave it up to the states. He can not abide by voters' decisions.
