He’s a liar just like the rest of them. Kehoe ran as a “moderate.”
He’s actually an extremist who doesn’t think working Missourians deserve $13.75/hour or earned sick time…even when the voters approved both.

If you were a halfway decent human being and you knew an innocent man was rotting in foreign prison—likely suffering nightmarish conditions—because your administration screwed up and send him there, you’d do something about it immediately instead of shitposting lies all day.

New: New wave of terminations today at FDA. People arrived this morning and found out while waiting in line to go through security that they no longer worked there. A common pattern with DOGE: planning to maximize humiliation/disrespect.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.
18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.
