As of today, People Not Politicians has gathered more than 150,000 signatures on the anti-gerrymandering petition. We needed a minimum of 107,000, but we're going to keep gathering and bury the Missouri Secretary of State in signatures so he knows the Will of the People. #gerrymandering #Missouri

This week President Trump received his annual influenza vaccine and COVID booster shots (evidently disregarding the advice of his Health Secretary). If you haven't gotten your vaccines yet, you really should. #vaccination #vaccine #influenza #COVID

The next artists need a little more time to hang their show, so I'll be taking down my exhibit a couple days early. Still plenty of time to come by and see it, though! #photography

This government shutdown is on Republicans for refusing to negotiate. Democrats must continue to hold the line to protect our healthcare.

Rumor has it that some pharmacies aren't asking for proof of conditions that make you eligible for the COVID vaccine this fall. The check-in app at a pharmacy in my neighborhood only asked me to describe my high-risk factors. It did not ask for a prescription (although I had one). #COVID #vaccine

Not sure whether you're eligible to receive the COVID vaccine this year? The CDC's list of "Underlying Conditions and the Higher Risk for Severe COVID-19" includes relatively common issues such as asthma, depression, obesity and physical inactivity.

Today I took the redistricting referendum petition to my first event, and almost everyone I spoke with signed. Democrats, Republicans and Independents. The most common reaction I heard was: "They shouldn't have done this without consulting us first."
