Here we are in another Republican government shutdown and my Rep is home doing photo ops instead of in D.C. trying to help working Americans. I didn't think I'd have to run to the trumpets again but I am. I'm running for Congress because I'm not done yet and neither are we. youtu.be/OSOAPMl_BSc?...
I am honestly pissed at what Washington has become. The Republican Party’s sold out working families to billionaires & special interests. D.C. Democrats are out of touch & unwilling to confront the scale of the suffering people are enduring.

As we kill each other Trump is using the moment to clear his most dangerous allies.
First, Trump pardoned the "boots" of the insurrection, and now he's pardoned the "suits" of the insurrection substack.com/@glennkirsch...
Trump's pardons of his January 6 unindicted co-conspirators is a recruiting call to interfere in upcoming elections!
So we just learned that Donald Trump pardoned a bunch of people, including his unindicted co-conspirators in the now-defunct federal prosecution of Trump for attempting to overturn the results of the ...

Yep. Don't give up the party apparatus, organization, etc to the Vichy Dems.
Kick THEM out.
They're the ones who suck, not us.

Right, the answer isn't to abandon the party to these weasels.
The answer is to flood the party with people who will take it over and transform it.

Hey, a lot of people are talking about changing affiliation from Democratic to Independent.
Let me tell you why you shouldn’t do that in Colorado.
One of the main ways to get a primary challenge candidate on a ballot is to caucus for your party. You need to be registered as a Dem to caucus.

Are you mad as hell and won't take it anymore? Ready for change? We're holding a Take Back Missouri Rally tomorrow night in Kirkwood with special guests Rep. Ray Reed, Rep. Mark Boyko, Don Looney, Rep. Jaclyn Zimmerman, and former Senator Jill Schupp to kick off the run to the midterms with fire!

I joined the 4 Rivers Progressive Coalition at their monthly meeting in Washington on Saturday. My campaign manager, Ellie Hayes, grew up in Union and lived in Washington for many years. She was deeply offended that I was considering not stopping at Cowan’s ‘Home of the Mile High Pie’ for a slice.

This is what happens when Republicans are given the task of governing. Chaos, economic collapse, and suffering.

The rich are richer. The rest of us are barely making ends meet. Trump denies any of it. Time to toss them all out.
Prices since Trump took office:
-Groceries: ⬆️ 2.7%
-Utilities: ⬆️ 11%
-ACA premiums: ⬆️ 26%
-Overall consumer prices: ⬆️ 3%
Trump: “I don't want to hear about the affordability.”

My opponent just celebrated his endorsement. You can’t make this up.
Trump at a -16 net approval rating among all adults now, per our average at @fiftyplusone.news, and flirting with dropping below 40% approval.

The utter stupidity of pursuing a criminal trial against someone for throwing a sandwich that bounced off a bullet proof vest pissing away hundreds of thousands of dollars for this joke is the perfect encapsulation of this Administration.

He simply handed our money to his buddy who celebrated with a giant rock concert for himself...but won't feed our own citizens.
You found $40 billion to bail out Argentina.
But refuse to provide a dime to keep American children from going hungry.
Show some leadership, get off the golf course and reopen the government.

Exactly. It is a prison. Unsupervised. No oversight. Nothing but lies. This is inhuman and un-American.
WOW. A federal judge says he's going to issue a Temporary Restraining Order requiring ICE to make changes at the Broadview facility in Chicago, a facility that until January was only for stays under 12 hours "absent exceptional circumstances," but has become, in Judge Gettleman's words, "a prison."
U.S. Robert Gettleman is now giving his thoughts. He says, "I think the evidence has been pretty strong that this facility is no longer just a temporary holding facility. …
"It has really become a prison."

The governments that starved their own people in need were never the good guys. No matter how much you twist yourself in knots to justify cutting SNAP when emergency funds exist, this is an act of evil against our fellow Americans by the Trump Administration and the Republican Doormat Congress.
