Here we are in another Republican government shutdown and my Rep is home doing photo ops instead of in D.C. trying to help working Americans. I didn't think I'd have to run to the trumpets again but I am. I'm running for Congress because I'm not done yet and neither are we. youtu.be/OSOAPMl_BSc?...

This strikes me as interesting item in the Illinois lawsuit to stop the National Guard from coming. Apparently the same thing happened in the Oregon order attempting to federalize National Guard troops. Sounds like Trump isn't willing to directly make the order. Or they're just dumb. Both bad.

We can change Missouri in MO-2. We run a professional campaign with a vision to make people’s lives better and represent them in Congress. We can change the entire state by also breaking the supermajority. We’re not done yet! #TeamWellman

No indication yet from major media that the FBI has any interest whatsoever in investigating this apparent attempted assassination of a well-known judge openly targeted on social media by the far-right activist—Harmeet Dhillon—currently calling herself Assistant Attorney General of the United States

Beachfront home of South Carolina judge, ex-senator burned to ground, injuring 3

Ex-senator Arnold Goodstein, along with two additional people, were rescued by several neighbors and paramedics from a marshy, remote area behind the home after jumping from the fist floor.

Every Democrat at every level of office must denounce this madness Monday morning. Has to be huge outcry. We need to be incredibly loud.

Governor JB Pritzker @govpritzker.illinois.gov · 2d

We must now start calling this what it is: Trump’s Invasion. It started with federal agents, it will soon include deploying federalized members of the Illinois National Guard against our wishes, and it will now involve sending in another state’s military troops.

Absolutely disgusting behavior.

Trump to the Navy: "We have to take care of this little gnat that's on our shoulder called the Democrats."

The House of Representatives has not held a vote since September 19th to avoid releasing the Epstein records. My opponent Ann Wagner hasn’t said thing about any of it. Enjoying her free vacation while the government is shut down.

I’m proud to endorse him in his campaign for MO-02.
