We spent more than $2 million in taxpayer money to blow up a 40-foot fishing boat off the coast of South America — and they’re calling it “national security.”
Missiles. Drones. Gunships. F-35s. Helicopters. A naval task force.
All mobilized… to sink a 40 foot boat.
MAKE IT MAKE SENSE

fast. Break the law, and the machine grinds you to dust.
While you’re scrambling to afford a lawyer, they’re buying their way to freedom.
This isn’t a glitch. It is the system. Justice isn’t broken—it’s for sale.

Missouri’s Attorney General went into federal court and called the MO voters “uninformed plebiscites.” That’s lawyer-speak for “stupid.”
We don’t need politicians talking down to us because someone in Jeff City thinks we’re beneath them.
Missourians can think for ourselves — and we’ll prove it.

Every parent who’s hauled a kid to grade school or wiped the tears of a disappointed teen… every parent who’s raised a family in a house with a mortgage… knows one simple truth:
Kids come first. Always.
If a grown man harms a child, you don’t stop to ask what party he belongs to.

Mike Johnson actually said Congress must protect people who “knew Epstein but knew nothing of his crimes.” This man has never cared about “innocent people” when it was kids losing food stamps. But when powerful men and political allies might be exposed? We’re judging folks by the company they kept.

Before we were Democrats or Republicans, we were human beings who understood the difference between a child and an adult. A fifteen-year old is a CHILD. And that shouldn't be Red or Blue.
Release the files.
Everything else is noise.

So after a year of insisting “tariffs don’t raise prices,” Trump quietly drops the tariffs on beef, coffee, and fruit.
Tariffs are TAXES — and while billionaires got a break, the rest of us got screwed.
Thanks, Trump. Are we great yet?

The right to speak.
The right to assemble.
The right to petition our government.
It’s the quietest right —
but the one that keeps democracy loud.
Because if we can’t demand change,
every other freedom is just a promise waiting to be broken.

Republicans in Congress are trying to pass a continuing resolution because- according to them, they only needed seven more weeks to fulfill their constitutional duty to put a budget together for the country. The House Republicans haven’t worked in six weeks. 🤬

When workers need food stamps to survive, it’s not because they’re lazy — it’s because corporations like Walmart and Amazon pay poverty wages.
Those SNAP benefits? They’re not worker welfare — they’re corporate subsidies.
The real welfare queens aren’t working families.

They found a way to twist the law for golden ballrooms — but somehow can’t unlock $5 billion in emergency aid to feed hungry Americans.
WAKE UP.
They found a way to tear down the White House — without rules.
But keeping food on the table for American families?
Suddenly, that’s “against the rules.”

When SNAP benefits vanish, it doesn’t just hurt the families who rely on them — it ripples through entire towns.
Rural grocery stores get up to 60% of their sales from SNAP benefits. When that support disappears, stores close.
Poverty is contagious.
And when government fails, it fails all of us.

When we say we fight for farmers, we mean real people. Not corporate giants or Argentinian beef barons. Republicans are gutting family farms and leaving our towns for spare parts: They aren't about helping the heartland. They're selling it off. #StandWithFarmers #BreakUpBigAg #RuralNotCorporate

Oh, look — they’ve mistaken public office for royal birthright. News flash: you’re not a ruler, you’re an employee.
And the people still get the last say. Nice try. We’ll be voting anyway.

They call it “freedom,” but somehow it keeps costing more — more insurance costs, more at the grocery store, more just to stay afloat.
If this is freedom, why does it feel like everything’s at war with my wallet?
Working people deserve better than slogans. We deserve solutions.

A Michigan man bought a $290 part on eBay — and got slapped with a $183 “tariff” when it arrived. Why? Tariffs don’t punish countries. Tariffs punish YOU. TARIFFS are TAXES. Every trade war ends the same way: the rich stay rich, and working folks pay the price. #TariffsAreTaxe

During the shutdown, Congress still gets paid, while Missouri families wait for paychecks. Something’s wrong when the people doing the work go unpaid, and the people causing the crisis cash their checks.
