It’s official: we’re running in Missouri’s 4th Congressional District.
This is what the fight demands of us. Bought-off politicians thought we’d take their gerrymander lying down — but they were wrong. Working people are fighting back.
It’s people versus money. And together, we will win.

Premiums are rising again because our system puts profit before people.
Universal health care is the only real solution.
Everyone deserves care they can afford, no matter their job or income.
Health care is a human right.

KC showed up today. Thank you to everyone who donated, volunteered, and helped us fill the truck.
Every box, every can, every contribution is going straight to the Community Assistance Council and Uzazi Village to support families this Thanksgiving.

Today we honor Trans Day of Remembrance.
Trans people deserve safety, dignity, and the freedom to live without fear.
We must protect trans lives with real policy: affordable housing, universal health care, good jobs, and civil rights protections.
We remember, and we fight for the living.

Forty percent of Americans are low income or live below the poverty line.
In the richest country in the history of the world, that is a policy choice.
We must raise the minimum wage, strengthen unions, and expand housing and nutrition support.
No one should work full time and live in poverty.

Trump’s plan is simple. End ACA subsidies and leave every family on their own in a broken market. That will not lower premiums. It will push people off coverage.
The real solution is universal health care that guarantees care for everyone, not a cash coupon for a private insurer.

The Epstein files should be released in full. No exceptions and no political games. If Trump now supports a House vote, then he should commit to signing it and making every name public. The American people deserve the truth.

AI and policing without guardrails is a dangerous path. KC’s new drone program makes it clear: we need strict oversight, transparency, and community protections. No community should be a testing ground for unregulated surveillance.

As a proud democratic socialist, I had a great time grabbing coffee with fellow comrades from Kansas City DSA today. I always appreciate the chance to listen, learn, and build community together.
I hope to see you at our members-only town hall tomorrow. RSVP in the DSA Slack.

Great day building community benches with Sunrise Movement KC. Kansas Citians deserve safe, comfortable places to rest, and it was inspiring to build something real together.
Grateful to everyone who showed up and made it happen.

Foreign food safety inspections are at a historic low because of massive cuts to the FDA. This administration and its enablers continue to gamble with our health.
Mark Alford would rather cut regulations to help his corporate donors instead of keeping Americans safe. It’s time to send him packing.

I stand in solidarity with the Starbucks workers across the country who are on strike.
When a corporation can hand its CEO over $95 million and burn $240 million on union busting, it can very well bargain for a fair contract.

Over 1.1MIL jobs have been lost this year, layoffs at a 20-year high. Now, Congress has cut 300K more in the hemp industry.
At a time when small businesses and farmers are struggling to hold on, Republicans are destroying livelihoods. We need leadership investing in our communities, not divesting.

Premiums are spiking because Republicans let ACA subsidies expire. Families pay more so billionaires get tax breaks. Restore subsidies now and finish the job with universal health care.

The Predator of the United States (POTUS) is confirmed in the Epstein files.
No more cover ups or backroom deals. We must hold him, Ghislaine Maxwell and everyone else in those files accountable for the atrocities they’ve committed.

EPSTEIN BOMBSHELL: Newly released emails show Jeffrey Epstein told Ghislaine Maxwell that Donald Trump “spent hours at my house,” “knew about the girls,” and “that dog that hasn’t barked is trump.”

We show gratitude not with words, but with action.

Every day, ICE commits human rights violations. No amount of “reform” can fix an agency built on fear, family separation, and racial profiling. We must abolish ICE. Completely.

36 days without pay for federal workers. While millions go hungry, this administration parties with the rich. They’re gambling with livelihoods, safety, and health care. This isn’t governing, it’s all to protect Epstein predators and line their pockets.

Prop 50 passed, and that’s a victory for democracy. Voters rejected the authoritarian playbook we’re seeing across the country, rig the midterms in advance by drawing maps that silence communities.

Trump just vowed to ignore a federal court order and hold SNAP hostage. That’s not governing, it’s lawless cruelty. 42 million Americans rely on SNAP. Obey the court. Release the funds now. Stop weaponizing hunger.
