Y’all, are you ready to make a difference in Missouri? Are you ready to make sure Dems in areas from St Charles to St Joe are funded and can do the hard work of reaching voters while we come together as a community to crowdsource funds? Text “Piper” to 33777 to join Blue Missouri

I often see this rhetoric but it's never explained how this allows parents to "take control". If I get a travel voucher, that doesn't give me control over the airlines & pilots, does it? Privatization generally cedes more leverage to the producer w/ less publicly accountability.

The absurdity of charter school funding: Imagine if someone said, “Hey, let’s split this school district into two. Same number of kids still, but let’s pay for two superintendents, two sets of buildings, and so on.” That would sound nuts, but that’s what is happening. (1/2)

U.S. local newspapers are dying at a rate of 2 per week. By 2025, a third of them will be gone. If you’re not convinced that’s a doomsday-level threat to democracy, read this state-by-state list of what local reporters uncovered in 2022. It’s a sample of what we stand to lose.

Live interview with KFEQ this morning. The host asked about abortion and then asked “who’s looking out for the baby.” I was frank with him—I’ve had two miscarriages. I saw the tissue Missouri thinks is worth more than my life. I won’t back down. #Prochoice

If you think women endure an abortion instead of using birth control, you’ve never had a D & C.

Just here to remind you that your ballot is anonymous. Vote to fund schools, pave roads, fund health care, find childcare solutions, and save Social Security and Medicare. Vote for Democrats.

When the argument is made that a private education can be done at lower per pupil cost than public ed, what % of that cost savings comes from turning away students with disabilities? How many special education teachers, associates, & specialists are on private school staff?

Hey @MissouriGOP, you are concerned about "grooming", what is your response to this being said at a public school assembly? cc: @RickBrattin @NickBSchroer @AGEricSchmitt @meaccoleman @MOTreasurer @GovParsonMO @DougRicheyMO @BenBakerMO

Under what Missouri law would a man have to prove that he is dying to get medical care? That is exactly what is happening in Missouri under the abortion ban. Women have to bleed out. Women have to have their blood pressure dropped to an unsafe level. This is sadism.

Almost 5 months ago, Missouri State Lawmaker Ann Kelley tried silencing me about Agape She told me our public outcry is not helping the situation She didn’t want Missourians to know about the abuse. Today, she refuses to stand with the victims Vote her out!

Attorney General Eric Schmitt dismissed his case against Agape Boarding School without having a replacement lawsuit ready to go, and now state social workers are leaving tortured kids in the sole supervision of their abusers. We need federal intervention immediately.

Happy birthday to one of the women who raised me, taught me to never be scared to use my voice, and has been one of my biggest fans. Love you, Aunt J. ❤️
