We're Not Done Yet - Fred Wellman for Missouri

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?...

Remember when Republicans were all "STATES RIGHTS!" That was great.

No, you can’t do that, airhead. It’s not within your authority and it violates several laws.

One thing I asked @fpwellman.bsky.social @wellmanformo.bsky.social about was how running as a veteran informs his campaign.
He said it does, obviously, but it’s not what he hears most about on the campaign trail.
Folks are worried about their kids—and their costs.👇

Drug cartels are driven by profit, not by murderous ideology like ISIS. Antifa is a loose-knit group of activists who aren’t plotting mass casualty events like al-Qaeda. Venezuela is complicit in human rights violations & drug trafficking, but it doesn’t sponsor terrorism like Iran. wapo.st/4qrV8U5

I had the opportunity to sit down with Josh Cowen to discuss my race for MO-2 and the unique experience I bring to this moment. It’s been a long road to get here and service has driven everything I’ve ever tried to do. Check it out and support my campaign as we head to the end of our first quarter!
"There’s a disconnect between those who were elected to lead us, and those they’re leading."

How Rob Reiner Tipped the Balance Against Donald Trump
Trump’s crude disdain for the slain filmmaker was undoubtedly rooted in the fact that Reiner so ably used his talents to help dethrone him in 2020.

This is perfectly accurate.
McGovern: "When billionaire CEOs need something, Republicans move at lightning speed. But when it comes to working people needing affordable health care, suddenly the story changes. There's hand wringing and the money is gone. My friends, if you are ok with that, we do not share the same values."

'This isn't your granddad's KKK.' Inside the hate group expanding its presence in Tennessee
They are the largest hate group in America, wrapping themselves in the red-white-and-blue of the flag, marching into the middle of American cities and claiming to be patriots.

Q: A number of Republicans have denounced your statement on Rob Reiner. Do you stand by it?
TRUMP: Well, I wasn't a fan of his at all. He was a deranged person as far as Trump is concerned.
