MO & OH Dems need us to help Rally support!

A commissioned poll shows nearly 1/2 of MO voters oppose the maps

The Dem committee needs over 100,000 valid signatures across multiple congressional districts before the state’s 90-day window expires on Dec. 11 to let voters decide on the maps.
Missouri Democrats have an opportunity to block a new congressional map. They say they’re largely on their own.
Despite relatively little investment from Washington, Missouri and Ohio Democrats are looking to block new Republican-drawn maps through uncertain avenues.

Another pro- for Trump's pro-violent criminal, pro-pardons for drug traffickers, pro-death to impoverished children overseas, etc., etc.
Team Trump is also pro-lead poisoning.

1/ The SSA was just moved to X for official updates—because DOGE teens slashed comms staff. Only 138,000 follow SSA on X. Meanwhile, 73 million rely on benefits. Most are seniors, not social media users. This isn’t modernization—it’s Muskification.

This is absolutely crazy. House Republicans are attacking Medicaid, and now Trump is going after Social Security. We must protect seniors and people with disabilities—and we’ll fight back every step of the way.

This is huge!

Trump is ramming his agenda through now, so he can’t be stopped later—shock & awe. But look at these approval numbers—he’s underwater on our major issues.

Public opinion is against Trump & his policies—his approval rating is historically low. It’s only going to get worse… MUCH worse.

The strength of our democracy depends on a system of checks and balances. We cannot allow Donald Trump’s unrestrained attacks on this system and on our rights to go without pushback.
