Missouri's murder rate is 73% HIGHER than California’s. No amount of right-wing spinning can change reality: our state is investing in prevention, enforcement, and is holding criminals accountable. The U.S. Senator from Missouri should fix his own failed policies before lecturing us.

Eric Schmitt is a fucking idiot who doesn't give a single fuck about Missourians. We get a tax surplus and instead of using it to fix our electrical grid, fix roads, expand Medicaid assistance, etc he just decides we shouldn't pay income tax at all. Makes zero sense.

Are all these obnoxious, bullying, lying, immoral assholes made this way by the Republican Party or is it a pre-condition for membership. And what does catholicism have to do with it? It may be stupid of me but I'm still trying to better understand the nature of evil.

Yeah but I'm sure this fascist bootlicker has facts and verifiable data sources to back up his claim. I mean "more than you can imagine" is a pretty detailed indictment.

It really is. I have to go back to MO every once in a while to visit family. Cities that were upper middle class when I was teenager are so faces of meth now. It’s shocking. I live in Texas and it’s not paradise, but I’ve never seen anything like that here.

republicans are just flat out liars believing they work for dtrumpf instead for everyday Americans Refusing to meet with their constituents Pontificating the same old talking points Accepting absolutely no responsibility nor plans to improve the lives of those they serve Corrupt and incompetent

#schmitmo wants to make a name for himself using TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome), a political disease. Symptoms: 1.Inability to tell the truth 2.Protect #fubardon 3.Act stupid & claim genius 4.Impulsive decisions 5.Tell others what to say and do 6.End justifies means 7.No strategy

No, then it would be something he could leverage to justify his political existence. Also, most 5k’s are for a charitable cause which he seems to lack. He is more of a tinkling of symbols and clashing of drums bring honor only to himself type of guy.

Fun fact: the KCMO police department is not operated by the city. It is operated by a board named by the governor of Mo. The state also passed a law REQUIRING the city to give 25% of the budget to the KCMO police. They have an abysmal clear rate, and are shit compared to the neighboring cities.

they do this shit all the time...make a stupid claim about a blue state that easily debunked with a quick google search they live in another world devoid of facts

If I had to live there with those two senators, I would probably be stressed enough to be inclined to crime too. We won't even get into the closeted one whose wife (beard) was instrumental in overturning Roe. In fact, I was once offered double my salary to take a job there. Missouri? You OK?

Louisiana ranks #50 (last) in the country in America's Health Rankings 2025. Louisiana ranks 50th in chlamydia cases, 48th in high-risk HIV behaviors, 48th in teen births, 46th in smoking and tobacco use, and faces high rates of premature death and chronic disease.

Trump is engaging in criminal activities at least weekly and probably daily. How many criminals has he pardoned, often after bribes? The vast stock market manipulation is theft on a scale undreamed of, transferring money from everyone else to those with insider information. Republicans Lie.

Gov Newsom thank you for pointing out to Eric Schmitt that Missouri has a higher CRIME RATE. He should work on his own state’s high crime rate of 73% before throwing stones at CA that has brought their crime down. 👏👏👏👏

But, in fairness California is at a significant forensic advantage over other states in that The Mentalist plies his trade there. Traditional criminology has its limits.

How much did you take from Israel again to sell out the American people and be complicit in genocide? Why is fascism as a foreign policy acceptable and encouraged by you, yet not at home?

Oh but Missouri’s tax rate is so much lower than than liberal California!!! Maybe there’s a reason for that? Some people are willing to pay a higher tax rate for better policies and a safer, more accepting, woke, liberal environment.

This is a root problem: Republican spin paints Democrats as ultra-liberal failures when we routinely manage the country better by most measurements. Those measurements--charts, numbers, percentages, raw facts--need to be held up and shouted out every time a camera or microphone is turned toward us.

Eric Schmitt doesn’t say anything in good faith. I learned that a long time ago when he used to get into bitchy fights with his constituents deep in the comments on Twitter. Dude was constantly getting owned by average Missourians. Which says a lot on its own.

Who? You mean this guy? Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-MO): America isn't an "idea"—it belongs to descendants of white Christian pioneers. Enslaved people, Chinese railroad workers, Mexican laborers excluded from founding story. "We're not sorry." Coherent ideology > Trump's chaos. #ChristianNationalism

motherjones.comIs this the most dangerous man in the US Senate?Sen. Eric Schmitt of Missouri is pushing a tribalistic ideology suggesting only descendants of white Christian pioneers are true Americans.

KCMO and STL (blue) police are controlled by state (red) boards, not the cities. It is GOP strategy to let crime go way up to "prove" the left is soft on crime. Solve rates are a joke, cops do nothing, and the GOP bully says "quit hitting yourself!" while stealing our tax money.

Then he should be able to verify Newsome's account. I'm over an hour out and watch STL news mostly for weather hoever; the gun violence is atrocious! 2-5 shootings per day! Several deaths per week.

They don't always make lead stories but yeah, still front page. Its pretty bad. I used to live there and the violence has evolved to daytime, nights of course and school sporting events. I won't go there. Here's the kicker, they have a democrat mayor and the state is trying to take over the police.

The courthouse which held the trials for clients my office represented was in an urban setting, but the Court served - &, importantly, drew its jurors - from 11 counties, mostly rural. (Clients were from all those counties, too.) A huge obstacle was impressions formed by watching TV news.

Why isn’t it a crime for elected politicians to lie on social media? If constituents are supposed to trust them and base their decisions on facts, this seems to be intentional malice.

Eric Schmitt is a Republican. Lying, hypocrisy and misinformation are some of their core principles. Here are some others: murder, kidnapping, corruption, concentration camps, extortion, pedophilia, sex crimes, fraud, sedition…. The sad thing is that they’re proud of those things.

This is some real shit about Missouri. I have relatives in St. Louis and I lived in Kansas City—there’s obviously some unsafe areas in those cities. But in the last couple years I’ve realized how scary it can be to stop at a gas station or hotel out in the middle of nowhere in Missouri.

Before we elect another politician, we should ask them what “per capita” means. Yes, the murder *count* in New York City is higher than in your town or city, but the murder *rate* is higher in yours. Your residents are much *less* safe. And, for the millionth time, land doesn’t vote. Yet.

🇨🇦 That’s not how the Antichrist likes to handle criminals He makes them pay him, then he pardons them. Easy Peasy (And very good for his pockets. But not so good for the current and future victims)

We don't kill people here unless it's the entitled, petulant little boys cutting everyone off and causing pike ups. Do you know why? No Driver's Education.

Eric Schmitt is a straight-up, white nationalist Nazi. He is an open enemy of the American Republic & the American people. Think of a father, who would submit himself to Trump, who has frequently mocked people with disabilities, like Schmitt’s son. That is a very committed white nationalist.

Hey, I have been a Missourian longer than the Senator and I can say to both of my Senators “ I am from Missouri, you need to show me you both aren’t idiots.” Stop the embarrassment. You both are going to lose your next election.

Also yes St. Louis is my hometown but I didn’t live in that area for a long time. Another state that comes to mind is Louisiana that whole state can’t get a grip and it’s due to their broken government. Same with Florida and Texas.

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social Soft succession please. Stop funding these people. Redheads will learn the hard way of there's no more money to help fund them. I bet they'll come groveling to get money. The intelligent part America wants our leaders to fight. democrats don't have any balls. Help???
