I love that the Missouri GOP is posting this crash out because the people have figured out a way of direct democracy that has consistently sidestepped their tyrany to keep Missouri remotely livable.
Look at the policies! This is how we have to organize in Missouri. Put shit to a popular vote through petition process, it passes, the state GOP panics to abuse state law to invalidate it.
MISSOURI, THIS IS WHAT WE WARNED YOU ABOUT.
We warned that Amendment 6 would make sweeping changes to Missouri’s Constitution and laws harder to reverse. Now, just days after its passage, 10 new initiative petitions targeting the 2028 election have been submitted to the Secretary of State.
And what’s being proposed should concern every Missourian.
Here’s a breakdown of what these proposals would do:
🚩001 – Redefining Marriage & Gender Rights: Removes Missouri’s constitutional definition of marriage as between a man and a woman, establishes constitutional protections for gender identity and sexual orientation, and allows minors to seek trans surgery, therapy, or counseling with parental or guardian consent.
🚩002 – Proxy Voting in the Legislature: Allows citizens to assign their legislative votes to individual lawmakers, giving some legislators potentially thousands of votes while others have far fewer. This would fundamentally change how representation works in the General Assembly.
🚩003 – Overhauling Missouri’s Legislature: Repeals multiple constitutional provisions, eliminates legislative primaries, introduces statewide elections for legislators, and radically restructures how representation works in Missouri.
🚩004 – Electronic Initiative Petition Signatures: Allows initiative petitions to be signed electronically rather than requiring traditional paper signatures, raising serious questions about verification, security, and FRAUD.
🚩005 – Stripping the Governor’s Authority: Takes away the Governor’s independent power to issue pardons, commutations, and reprieves, and replaces the line-item veto with recommendations subject to legislative approval.
🚩006 – Ranked-Choice Voting: Introduces ranked-choice voting in Missouri elections with more than two candidates for a single office, replacing our traditional voting system with multiple rounds of vote counting and candidate elimination.
🚩007 – Eliminating Primary Elections: Abolishes primaries for congressional and state legislative races and moves to statewide elections using party lists, stripping voters of their traditional ability to choose their party’s nominees.
🚩008 – Government-Run Healthcare: Creates a state-administered healthcare cooperative funded through income-based membership payments, dramatically expanding government’s involvement in healthcare.
🚩009 – New Taxes for Green Energy: Imposes a new tax on long-term capital gains and qualified dividends to fund a government-administered renewable energy program.
🚩010 – Government-Built Housing: Establishes a state-run housing program financed through government bonds, offering homes at cost with no down payment and no interest over 30–40 years.
Make no mistake: These aren’t minor policy adjustments. These proposals would fundamentally reshape Missouri’s government, elections, and economy.
We warned about the consequences of Amendment 6, and now we’re seeing exactly why those warnings mattered.
Missouri’s Constitution is not a playground for radical political experiments. The fight to protect our state and our representative form of government is far from over. 🇺🇸
The Hakeem Jeffries hate has turned into AOC hate because your minds are controlled by evil billionaires. She is not a witch. She can’t conjure up an alternative to Jeffries. She is one vote out of 200+. We’re never getting good things if we keep moving like this (stupidly)

I’m seeing a lot of people warming up to former CIA Slotkin. So here’s a reminder of her record:
- Helped Republicans ban Pride flags.
- Opposes Medicare for All and the Green New Deal
- Does not support abolishing the death penalty
- Condemned “from the river to the sea.”
- Didn’t endorse Will Lawrence in the primary for her old seat

I have never seen such contempt for the American people that what I’m seeing here right now from Jeffries and Schumer allies…

So from what I understand you can’t vote against Jeffries because they won’t let you be on committees but you can skip the impeachment vote and get to stay on the committees, do I have that right

some of the embarrassing failures of hakeem jeffries this last year alone.
1) multiple war powers resolutions that failed by one or two democrats not voting or flipping
2) mgp and golden voting for gop house rules
3) couldn't whip votes to impeach hegseth
is this leadership?

The fact that @ChrisVanHollen has credibility with the left and with the mainstream of the Dem party is exactly why he's a great fit for leadership. None of us have forgotten how he fought for Kilmar Abrego Garcia when it wasn't safe or popular and worked to expose war crimes against Palestinians. He's also been a leading voice against the atrocities in Sudan. In other words he's showed actual character and leadership. Exactly what's needed.

A leader who can’t get their caucus to show up for work is not a leader capable of being an effective Speaker of the House.
@AyannaPressley would be a phenomenal choice. She campaigned in the South (incl. in Florida for Angie) and represents where the Democratic Party should be.

Impeaching Hegseth would have done more for veterans than receiving an award about advocating for veterans.

Split screen at Capitol Hill today:
Hakeem Jeffries is arguing that he should be the leader of the Democrats — and then, as the current leader, he couldn’t get enough Democrats to show up to impeach Pete Hegseth

Van Hollen criticized Schumer & DSCC in interview with @alivitali today:
“We have two members in that room, newly elected senators, who would not be there if Schumer and the DSCC had had their way. And, you know, Schumer and the DSCC sided with the crypto industry and AIPAC against these candidates.”
This was a winnable seat. Shame on the establishment for not coalescing support behind this incredible woman
Angie Nixon confirms reporting that Chuck Schumer gave her ONLY $5000 from his Leadership PAC. She also reveals the DSCC only gave money to her campaign the DAY BEFORE the election
“It was a failed opportunity, a missed opportunity…we need to have some tough conversations.”
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
OP's claims about the timeline and donations are misleading.
$5,000 is the maximum amount of money Schumer could legally give in direct PAC contributions.

The money was given in October.

Summer Lee has to primary John Fetterman in 2028, Abdul is gonna need a partner and she's it
.@RepSummerLee explains how progressive ideas won out this cycle.
"People are putting it in their own words, that makes sense to their own districts, but the underlying thing is the same thing..."

One might think AOC is just explaining how the Speaker gets elected.
But read between the lines ... she's also explaining how a progressive insurgent gets co-opted and absorbed into the Democratic establishment.
Listen carefully.
AOC: “Right now both of these races are uncontested — don’t be mad at me, I’m just reporting the facts.”
Rep. @AOC clearly explains the speaker vote process, says nobody is challenging @RepJeffries and anyone who does would likely be banished to obscure committees.
(If Jeffries is that vindictive it seems like even more of a reason someone should challenge him 😕)

The concept of a person being “illegal” on a floating rock orbiting a massive nuclear reactor in a boundless universe is so idiotic. Do you small-minded, ignorant freaks even hear yourselves when that shit comes spewing out of your stupid mouths?

chris van hollen flew down to el salvador to get proof of life for his constituent kilmar garcia when the kidnappings were happening. we need fighters to lead at this critical moment. van hollen is also closer to the democratic base on his approach to foreign policy.
NEW: Sen. Chris Van Hollen is now open to a run against Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer
Van Hollen has "received an outpouring of calls and is now in active listening mode," according to a person familiar w/ his thinking around leadership
"The door is not shut," the person added
Van Hollen is a leading progressive & has said he needs commitments from Schumer before agreeing to support him for another term as leader. The Maryland Democrat has also been eyeing a presidential run

The only person saying Schumer has the votes for Majority Leader is Schumer.
It's time to draft Chris Van Hollen, a proven leader. When everyone sat on their hands, CVH flew to El Salvador and fought for Kilmar Ábrego García.
He forced the Senate to vote on ending the war with Iran.
And he supports ending the Senate filibuster.
Voters elected a majority to fight back. It should be led by someone who's been in the fight all along. #DraftVanHollen
Run AOC run !!!!
AOC is the only candidate who can lead the working class movement to fight the oligarchy and transform America. We’re organizing across the country to build the grassroots support we need to win in 2028. Go to ReadyforAOC.org to sign the pledge.
