I never thought I'd see the President partying like Gatsby & using taxpayer $$$ to install a new toilet instead of funding SNAP benefits. But here we are.
So we’re doing what leaders — what Congress — should do; showing up for our neighbors & taking care of our community.

Having now watched the footage and interview two of the members who were there, the amount of armed, masked federal agents surrounding three members of Congress and a mayor outside the ICE facility was totally unnecessary; the only possible reason for it was intentional escalation and intimidation.

The Department of Defense has an $849.8 billion budget, and the best communication strategy they can devise is, "don't believe your lying eyes?"

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.
This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.
Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.
And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

Missouri has been running the pilot for Project 2025 for a couple of decades.
With a GOP Supermajority, over 30% of our schools are on a four-day week. We fund vouchers for private religious schools. Our starting teachers are 50th in the nation for pay and they pay for their own supplies.

Never mistake incompetence for malice.
Never ignore malice disguised as incompetence.
When billionaires “accidentally” fire workers protecting public health, nuclear safety, and Indigenous communities, it’s not a mistake.
It’s greed. It’s power. It’s on purpose.

“Accidentally.” More like gross incompetence and mismanagement. Opposite of efficient.

DOGE recommended firing workers at:

-FAA, which oversees SpaceX
-USAID, which probed Starlink
-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.
"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Voter turnout of St. Louis City and Missouri statewide over time, per the Secretary of State
St. Louis City turnout collapsed at a level that wasn’t matched statewide. Despite a reproductive rights initiative on the ballot, Democrats just didn’t turn out - while Republicans did.
