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?...

A little like when Trump wanted to just stop testing for Covid because there was too much Covid and so he wanted to just suppress the numbers.

🚨BREAKING: In a completely embarrassing moment, Donald Trump told the Liberian President “you speak such beautiful English…where did you learn to speak so beautifully” - even though English is the NATIONAL LANGUAGE OF LIBERIA. The world is watching America humiliate itself. 🤡

BREAKING: Scientists are staging a “science fair” in the lobby of a Congressional building to tell elected officials about the critical knowledge the US will lose because their research grants have been canceled.

This has always been the GOP's strategy:
1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves.
2) Explode deficits
3) Use the debt as an excuse to demand cuts to vital programs that help millions.
4) Repeat.

If you're heading to a protest tomorrow, it's important to know your rights. Consult this information from the ACLU.
Be peaceful. Be safe. Be careful. Be strong.

My favorite line here is "applying for those jobs"
Trump just admitted that his mass deportations are bad for farmers and the economy, and crucially, also admitted that workers who are getting deported are "almost impossible to replace." That's a massive repudiation of MAGA ideology:

Do not obey in advance.
Communicate often.
Remain calm.
Hold the line.
Call them on their bullshit.
Bring the facts.
And push the fuck back.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

The Republicans in Jeff City have overturned 6 measures passed by MO voters through the initiative process in the last 15 years. THREE of them were just this legislative session (paid sick leave, reproductive rights and state control of the STL police department)

Look, as long as this dangerous idiot is in the White House, the rest of the world should just ignore America and certainly not even think about investing in America. If I’m the rest of the world, I’m taking a four year break from America.

What some people aren’t factoring into their analysis is the reality that companies were buying tons of inventory to beat the tariffs.
That’s cash taken from being able to invest or hire. In fact the probably cut costs and jobs as a result.

Among the most striking things I saw today were passing drivers who didn't simply give a polite honk in support, but pumped a fist out the window with their whole body, visibly excited to see people out there.
Because a protest shows there is something to be done, and people to do it with you.

Protest changes the permission structure. It says fascists will not be allowed to proceed unencumbered. And if you didn't think there was anything to be done, a protest shows you many think otherwise.

What we're seeing at #handsoff protests nationwide today and what we saw at the ballot box on Tuesday are not unrelated. The public is furious. It will not be silenced. And those who side with Trump and Musk—or refuse to fight back—will be swept out of office.

The biggest thing we need to do is let people know that the protests are FUN. Yelling fuck the man is fun. You will meet fun people.
We also need to make them more fun. Bring grills like the French. Bring instruments like it’s Mardi Gras. Give people a reason to spend their weekend in the streets.
