St. Louis deserves a leader who is built different. That’s why I’m running to represent Missouri’s 1st District in Congress.
We need a fighter who will lower costs, protect our communities, and make life fairer. I’ll be that fighter.

Former Rep. Cori Bush launches rematch campaign against incumbent Wesley Bell, who defeated her in an expensive and closely watched 2024 Democratic primary. Missouri's 1st District in the St. Louis area is safely blue and was untouched by GOP's new gerrymander.

I will likely never see this view again. The trump regime is banning the voter registrars of the LWV of the U.S. from attending naturalization ceremonies in order to register newly naturalized citizens to vote.

Banning trans people from owning guns is a really REALLY significant escalation and I think the scariest part about it that's not being discussed at all is that the plan is to declare that trans people are mentally ill
Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

This move by the Trump administration is an overtly discriminatory civil rights violation. Trans people have the same legal rights as other Americans — end of story. There are lots of good reasons to keep certain people from owning guns. Being trans isn't one of them. https://cnn.it/4niJnxG

I may be disagreeing with the Democratic Party at large here but we all know what happens when you begin disarming minorities living under an authoritarian regime
No disrespect to our Moms Demand people running and in office but the tent is big enough in this party to say "Shall not be infringed."

Everyone's screaming about how the left doesn't compromise and I keep saying I will vote for this guy. I am a communist who will vote for a billionaire. Centrists, tell me about even one instance when you have compromised like anything close to this. Or at all.
I made a promise to the women of Illinois — as governor, I will ensure your medical decisions will be your own.
Now, we continue fulfilling that promise.
Public colleges will now provide contraception and medication abortion at on-campus pharmacies and student health centers.
