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.

Oh my god, Trump actually got the NRA to come out to defend trans people owning a gun.

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."

GET THIS MAN IN THE SENATE SO WE CAN ELECT HIM PRESIDENT ONE DAY, THIS IS THE ENERGY WE NEED
August 26, 2025 at 2:16 PM
I need Dems to understand this. Fighting fire with fire on the redistricting? Yeah that's good

When he decides to run for President though, that bare minimum fighting is not all we should remember. Remember he has/will willingly throw groups under the bus that will do harm if he wins or loses
Gavin Newsom suggesting that 25 years of age is too young to transition and agreeing to right-wing entryism of concern trolling about trans people in sports. This is your opposition leader?

I will never vote for Gavin Newsom anyone who thinks trans people are actual humans will follow suit.

@dfl.org This is for you ❤️
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.
