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.

Cori Bush announces bid for congressional seat Cori Bush has announced she is running for U.S. Congress.

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.

Trump DOJ is looking at ways to ban transgender Americans from owning guns, sources say | CNN Politics Senior Justice Department officials are weighing proposals to limit transgender people’s right to possess firearms, according to two officials familiar with the internal discussions.

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."

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.

Yeah this challenger is backed by Reid Hoffman, to the right of Nadler, and is an implied pro-Israel candidate just as Nadler is starting to change his tone and positioning on Gaza

U.S. Rep. Jason Smith (R-MO) on using subpoena power to release more information on the Epstein files (despite using it for the Hunter Biden laptop):

"If I felt like that it was a priority for Americans, then of course. But like I said, this has not been something that's been a driving force."
