I’m the Executive Director of Blue Missouri — a grassroots org designed to help nominees on the ballot in the reddest and most rural districts. We don’t give “endorsements.” We give money.

We fund down ballot Dems — we are the only organization regularly funding rural candidates. bluemissouri.org

Has anyone checked on our friends at the FDIC lately? DOGE is visiting them, and I haven’t heard a peep about it since the Ukraine debacle on Friday.

Trump: "We're gonna be selling a gold card. You have a green card, this is a gold card. We're gonna put a price on that card of about $5 million and that's going to give you green card privileges, plus. It's gonna be a route to citizenship, and wealthy people will be coming into our country."

I have go-activities for my downtime. Crossword puzzles, learning a new language, knitting, reading.

Recently I added a new one: calling my lawmakers.

This week I discovered 5 Calls which makes reaching out even easier. The app makes a green check on accomplished items. So satisfying.

Spend 5 minutes. Make 5 calls. Make your voice heard.
