Nate Silver is showing my race as the most competitive in the United States today. We have steadily grown our race and now we are 8 days away. Would love your help to take us across the finish line.

If you were waiting for your sign to donate to an insurgent campaign for Congress in Missouri...this is your sign. I'm current polling 5 points ahead of 14 yr incumbent Ann Wagner in a seat held by the GOP for 34 years. I need you now. We can take this across the finish line and change Missouri.

Ann Wagner and her outside dark money can attack me all day but it still doesn't answer the fundamental question: Where is Ann? Where has she been while prices skyrocket? As corruption explodes? Amidst the chaos? It's not about me. It's about 14 yrs of hiding from her constituents. I'm not hiding.

I’ve said from Day 1 “we’re not done yet.” I’ve watched Ann Wagner attack and smear me. I’m focused on one thing. Beating her and going to DC to fight the out of control costs, immeasurable corruption, and constant chaos that she has participated in gleefully while ignoring her constituents needs.

What Ann Wagner has actually done for farmers: 1) Stood by while USAID was “fed into the wood chipper” destroying one of our largest soybean export vehicles 2) Stood by while Trump imported 300k metric tons of bad beef in the middle of calf sales undermining sales for the 3rd largest beef state

3) Stood by while Trump started a trade war with our largest export partner, Canada. 4) Refused to approve, or even provide oversight, of an idiotic war with Iran that has blown up diesel prices during harvest. 5) Sold off swaths of our state to multibillion dollar companies for AI data centers

Where is Ann Wagner? She can't run on her 14 year record. She can't run on the economy. She can't talk about what she has done for the district. All these years she counted on gerrymandering and an R next to her name. Now she is in trouble and all she can do is smear me. It won't work.

I missed this in the now officially-competitive #MO02 House race. A GOP firm (no clue on how reliable they are) found an essentially tied race. How delicious would it be if Missouri wound up with a 5-3 map after aiming for a 7-1 map? @fpwellman.bsky.social www.firstalert4.com/2026/09/26/p...

Enough is enough. Public service shouldn't mean personal enrichment. Ann Wagner has lined her pockets and served her donors instead of us. I know what service means. I'm ready to go to DC and fight for the working people of Missouri.

Ann Wagner has been in office 14 years. She hasn’t defended her record as a member of Congress this entire election. She has attacked me. She has lied about how she has helped “middle class families.” She has said she’s just getting started. She has never held a town hall. She hasn’t debated.

She's enriched herself to $26 million in her portfolio. It’s the only metric that has improved under her long “public service.” Enough is enough. I’m a kid from Kirkwood (yes, that's me) who went to West Point, served in the Army 22-years including 4 combat tours.

Russia denies targeting civilians. Yet the intensified strikes on Ukrainian cities this year lay bare a depraved focus on civilian sites: apartments, malls, schools, cathedrals, trains. Unable to claim victory, Putin pursues a war of state terrorism as the Trump regime shrugs. @fpwellman.bsky.social

This is corruption beyond measure. A Russian oligarch paid for the President’s son to party on a private island. Hunter Biden got a board seat and the Republicans went after him for years. This is literally the enemy that is killing Ukrainians and helping Iran target our men and women.

Justin Baragona@justinbaragona.bsky.social

Don Jr. and Bettina Trump say a Russian oligarch "very generously hosted" a wedding celebration and it was "an extraordinary wedding gift from a friend" that shouldn't be "recast as something political or sinister." This "dear friend," meanwhile, is someone Eric Trump insists he's never heard of.

Dolly Parton logged a combined total of 115 years of union membership. Throughout her working life, the “9 to 5” singer/songwriter carried the union cards of two major unions: The American Federation of Musicians Local 257 in Nashville — for 58 years. SAG-AFTRA — for 57 years. HAPPY LABOR DAY!

Dolly Parton was a union member for five decades, proudly carrying the cards of American Federation of Musicians Local 257 (Nashville) and SAG-AFTRA (Screen Actors Guild–American Federation of Television and Radio Artists). And, of course, “9 to 5,” has become a global anthem of the working class.
