Eric Schmitt continues to show Missouri that he will be anyone's senator for the right price. I'm not in this race for ego, power, or money. I'm here to serve the people. I will be nobody's senator but yours!

Too many Missourians accept authoritarianism as a way of life. It's as prevalent as water--starts in childhood, in churches, in schools. It is an authority that is not based in respect, but in domination.

Pelosi, Schumer, and the rest of the leadership are all aware of D.C.'s intense power of surveillance, deterrence, and lethal force. And in this video, they are realizing that the GOP has betrayed them to such a degree that America could fall to *lunatics with pocket knives.*

Republicans keep telling us they want to cut your Social Security and Medicare. Believe them.

As a nurse and as a mother who's lost a son to an overdose, I've struggled with this issue a lot. But this is an important step forward today. I agree that we shouldn't be locking people up for just low-level, non-violent marijuana-related offenses.
As I’ve said before, no one should be in jail just for using or possessing marijuana. Today, I’m taking steps to end our failed approach. Allow me to lay them out.

Ummm. Trump took a 20 trillion debt and added 8 trillion to it in 4 years. Don’t remember you or any other Republican saying boo about it.
$31 trillion in debt. Another record for the Biden Administration.

Yes, a referendum on your support for: -Inflation caused by Price Fixing by Factory Farms owned by China. -Illegal trafficking of children into Missouri torture ranches. -Indoctrination of laws that strip women of their reproductive rights. #MOSen #Vote .@buschvalentine
The midterms are a referendum on inflation, illegal immigration and indoctrination.

Americans WANT: —to raise the minimum wage —strengthen social safety nets & unions —make the wealthy & corporations pay their fair share —and much more Why won't Congress get it done? Because their corporate donors tell them not to. #UnionStrong

In the five years after Trump was elected in 2016, the number of recorded threats against members of Congress soared more than tenfold. Everyone in public life — including Mitch McConnell and GOP leaders — must condemn Trump’s invitations to violence. robertreich.substack.com/p/t…

Some Native communities must travel 200 miles round trip just to vote. It’s time to bring polling sites to the reservation — wouldn’t you agree?

Congressional Republicans are fighting to pass an extreme national abortion ban that will criminalize providers, take away reproductive rights, and put women’s health at risk. The message is clear. We're fighting to protect your rights, while they work to take them away.

We're so tired of reading about corporations with excessive CEO pay who spend millions enriching shareholders but are now laying off thousands of employees. American workers need unions, protections, and better wages. #RaiseTheWage #UnionStrong

Minnesota Republicans nominated a Big Lie conspiracy theorist for secretary of state. Arizona Republicans nominated a Jan 6th protestor for secretary of state. Michigan Republicans nominated an election denier for governor. This is what a slow-motion coup looks like.

The bottom half of America, roughly 30 million Americans, now hold only 2% of the nation's wealth. Folks, this is unsustainable. The only way to grow the economy and hold on to our democracy is to expand the middle class. Otherwise, oligarchy will devolve into fascism.

This is what Missouri's House Budget Chair genuinely believes... that we've done enough for poor folks & it's time we give back to the wealthiest among us. Sit with this quote a moment, then remember that this man has an obscene amount of power over our state's budget... #moleg
Video of the exact quote. Remember, the two groups that are pushing this bill are AFP (Koch brothers) and Show Me Institute (Sinqfeld). Both testified yesterday, and both pushed the Brownback tax cuts that bankrupted KS 10yrs ago. Poor billionaires are who need help now, right?

Republicans in Congress want to put Social Security on the chopping block. Democrats are fighting to protect and expand it. The choice is clear this November.
