I keep seeing people make unreasonable excuses for how bad the Democrats messed up. If you keep doing that, you are not helping. You're just making everyone more upset. Do you want to win or keep your ego?

More shenanigans?

The Eighth Circuit has ordered the district court to reinstate Missouri’s 2025 congressional map. But before folks freak out, it also ordered that court to pause such a ruling for long enough that the challengers can (and will) seek further review from #SCOTUS: s3.documentcloud.org/documents/28...

We are now one of the most competitive races in the country. I’ve been building the campaign and plan to beat Ann Wagner all along. Now we have a map she desperately wanted to throw away. We are ready to flip this seat. Join us!

Missouri’s 2nd has a clear choice 💙🇺🇸 Fred Wellman: Army veteran, public servant & a fresh voice for MO-02. Ann Wagner: 13+ years in Congress, Trump-endorsed & millions in personal wealth. On Nov. 3, send someone to Congress who’ll serve Missouri. Choose Fred Wellman💙 #FredWellman #MO02 #SheShed

Outrageous

Trump’s humiliating Iran surrender in one chart: Obama: 98% uranium cut, enrichment capped, sanctions in place, 0 American lives lost. Trump: $25 BILLION unfrozen, sanctions lifted, Hormuz tolls for Iran, 15 dead + 543 injured Americans, $2.2 TRILLION cost. Pure weakness. #TrumpSurrendered

Come on Missouri, we can do better.

I love living in Kansas City, but Missouri makes it tough each day. Reading to our young kids is essential for their development. There are currently 169,000 Missouri kids in the program, which sent out half a million books in the first three months of the year. Most won’t get new books.

After Missouri voters passed ballot measures to enshrine abortion rights and establish paid sick leave, GOP state legislators overturned them. Now voters may have to pass another referendum just to protect the progress they've made. The GOP's contempt for democracy is absurd.

Ok, but what does the National enquirer think?

It annoys me when the NY Times confers philosophical legitimacy on a ruling that was purely political and was designed to rob Black people of voting power.

This is your reminder that it's been ten months since the assassination of Melissa Hortman, her husband and her dog, and there hasn't been even a hint of justice for her family, friends or colleagues.

This is an embarrassing but not shocking indictment of legacy news media in the U.S.

Two economic facts: Trump promised the greatest economy ever but the Michigan Consumer Sentiment is the lowest in its 74 year history. He promised to bring prices down but prices are up. Inflation is up from 3% to 3.3%.

The Federal Reserve shows that without Trump's tariffs, inflation would be back down to pre-pandemic levels. And this doesn't even include the more recent price spike due to the illegal Iran war. Biden's policies were working. Anyone who thinks Republicans are better for the economy is flat wrong.

Vaccine skepticism among Americans is widespread, a Politico Poll found. Nearly half of U.S. adults surveyed in our poll signaled they think the science on vaccines remains up for debate and that it’s damaging to require people to receive them. 🔗 politi.co/4cbCPOM

Well, well, well, well…what have we here? You mean the inflation blamed on Biden was worldwide? And the U.S. under Biden kept the peak among the lowest?! And Trump’s second favorite fascist Hungary was the worst!? How can this be? Next you will tell me the real Lone Ranger was a black man?
