A combat veteran. Former Missouri Secretary of State. A leader who knows the difference between service and self-promotion.

I’m running to put duty over politics and people over power. Let’s get to work. #mo02

Why Trump has bombed 7 countries in a year.
January 5, 2026 at 3:27 PM
Sadly, it appears Donald Trump just affected regime change on behalf of oil companies instead of the people of Venezuela. I explain.

My take on how we got to this point in #Venezuela

A war has to be especially stupid for a U.S. president to have to do it without authorization from a Congress controlled by his own party.

Here we go again. Regime change. Oil. But this time, not even a vote in Congress. Share this video and join us at StopForeverWar.org to end unconstitutional and illegal #ForeverWar.

Going to war STRICTLY to get access to another country’s natural resources - and for no other pretext or partial moral reason at all - is the type of thing Putin, Stalin, Hitler, and whoever is president in Avatar would do.

When folks are surprised I’m not eager to run for office again, i assume they’ve never sat in on call time.
Candidate fundraising call time is one of the most demoralizing, radicalizing experiences in politics.

@cameronkasky.bsky.social — who is running for the seat Jerry Nadler is retiring from — shows what it’s like to raise money as a candidate, in an effort to push more people to donate online.

Today is #Festivus.

On Festivus, we air our grievances.

I’ve got many.

Watch this, share it, and then post your own.

Do feel free to, as I have in mine, include a special message to those most deserving.

Really dig LANDMAN.

But I don’t understand why Nate doesn’t get his own apartment if he finds it so annoying to live in Tommy’s house.

He’s the general counsel for an oil company and he can’t afford a one bedroom in East Texas?

Same goes for Dale.

Congress approved a housing assistance payment to troops months ago.

Trump stole it from housing, turned it into checks in a symbolic amount, and pretended it was all his idea.

Typical Trump. Gold plated, not solid gold.

I’m in a dark room trying to put a 5 year old down for the night.

After that, I’m gonna rewatch Avatar 2 with the 12 year old and his mom.

Point being: I ain’t watching this speech. What’s the review?

Strained my right pectoral muscle. Pretty uncomfortable. No bruising or deformity. Just uncomfortable.

Anyone been through this and have any advice?

Missouri’s SoS and AG have gone so far off the reservation they have me saying something nice about Josh Hawley. www.komu.com/news/state/m...

The Cowboys team doctor operated tonight on the QB for the Chiefs without anyone worrying he might be conflicted about helping a rival.

Because doctors, like presidents, swear an oath.

Yet we dismiss this as “just politics.”

Patrick Mahomes is so special to us here in Kansas City that I found out about his ACL injury because people from around the country started texting to check in on me.

The 2025 Chiefs are the part in Superman 2 where he becomes mortal to save Lois. The 2026 Chiefs will be the final scene where Superman returns to the diner.
