Republicans gerrymandered an entire damn state to try to anoint Brattin as the next Congressman for #MO05.
Days into his campaign — with endorsements from Reps. Onder & Alford — and he’s already picking a fight with the family of a fallen firefighter.
That’s who the GOP wants to send to Congress.
Packed room tonight in Brentwood, MO, as Rep. @rayreedmo.bsky.social kicks off his re-election campaign.
Reed — a freshman State Rep. who helped lead the fight against gerrymandering in Missouri — just posted over $132,000 raised on the cycle.
🚨BREAKING: DOJ admits it has only released 12,285 documents required by Epstein Files Transparency Act. More than 2 million documents still need to be reviewed/released. DOJ is in violation of federal law that required release by Dec. 19.

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?"

I’ve heard the shock, horror, and disbelief in the voices of national journalists as I walk them through the life-threatening legislation moving through Missouri’s legislature.

"When (are you) going to start upholding your oath of office?"
Mark Alford: "...I think about my oath of office..."
People are sick of the divisionist, racist bullshit, Mark.
Our neighbors aren’t the problem—it’s the billionaires and politicians who’d sell their own grandma for a penny.
Those in power always cry for “normality” and “civility” when challenged—playing the victim while being the victimizer.
You can hear it now: McCormick whining as his constituents dare to ask questions.
Power fears accountability. Stay loud. Stay disruptive.
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.
If you’re thinking about running.
If you’re thinking about taking on extremism.
If you’re thinking about challenging entrenched power and the billionaire class.
And you know you can be a voice for your community—
Do it.
Post from NLRB Union: Yesterday, the NLRB’s Buffalo office (Region 3) received word from its landlord that GSA—acting on behalf of DOGE—had unilaterally cancelled the Region’s five-year lease, without any prior notice to the Agency. The Region has been given 90 days to vacate the building.
In 2024, the NLRB filed a complaint against Tesla for interfering in a union drive at their Buffalo, NY assembly plant.
Today:
DOGE recommended firing workers at:
-FDA, which oversees Neuralink
-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.
