Rural Northern Missouri will be well represented on No Kings day.

Oscar-winning actor Diane Keaton, known for her performances in “Annie Hall,” “The Godfather” and “Father of the Bride,” has died. She was 79 years old.

Today in Politics Chat, I talked about how power sloshes around when a president is checked out, and noted that right now unelected officials like Stephen Miller are trying to grab it. But instead, We the People can take it back and create a better nation.

She’s talking about ICE agents that are causing the disruptions and mayhem. Not peaceful protestors. All this administration does is lie!

Stop Trump’s D.C. Takeover Trump sent the National Guard into Washington, D.C. to intimidate his opponents and distract from his failed agenda. Email Congress now and demand they end his takeover of our nation’s capital.

Trump declared a fake emergency in D.C. and sent in the military. Congress can end this abuse of power—join @standupamerica.com & demand action now: act.standupamerica.com/letters/cte-...

Quite the contrast.

The president visited a new detention center in Florida that's been dubbed "Alligator Alcatraz" by local officials.

Thank you Kansas Governor Laura Kelly for speaking out about the Big Beautiful Betrayal’s impact on Kansas and how it would hurt families, farmers, and independent grocers.

Do they really think they can scare us with the word “socialist” when they are literally sending out men in masks with no warrants and no badges to disappear people off American streets?

I know what I’m scared of, and it’s not a socialist.

It’s time for all the migrant workers throughout the country to go on strike. Shut it down! Let the trump administration and its henchmen suffer the consequences of their actions. It’s not the migrants fault the US has a broken immigration policy.

'The Project' explores Project 2025's origins and goals to reshape American culture Many of the policies enacted by the Trump administration with lightning speed in these first 100 days were initially laid out two years ago in the Heritage Foundation's Project 2025. David Graham’s…

Trump Is Trying To Bully More Federal Workers Into Resigning The administration is using the threat of additional firings to pressure more employees into taking their "Fork in the Road" deal.

The Trump admin sent out more emails to federal workers today, trying to bully them into resigning from VA, DHS, IRS www.huffpost.com/entry/fork-i... w/ @jamieson.bsky.social

I'm so old, I remember when Republicans used to hyperventilate about a menacing federal government consisting of "jackbooted thugs." It turns out it wasn't a principled hatred of "jackbooted thugs" they were expressing, it was just jealousy that THEY weren't the ones in the jackboots.

Yup

Faux news knows

Home Missouri needs you. Join the movement.

The reason I do what I do? I know the DNC can't fund every rural Democrat...but I want to.

The Tantrum Tyrant Wants to Threaten Me?! Cool Bro, Bring It Trump whines, complains, and threatens—again. Bring it on tiny man

Trump’s latest threat against me is as real as his 'perfect' phone calls and 'biggest crowds ever.' More whining, more victimhood, zero follow-through. Either do it or keep crying, fatso.

This is how our government has been corrupted: 

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office. 
2) Elected officials rewrite the rules in the donors' favor. 
3) Donors make a huge profit. 
4) Repeat.

For the sake of democracy, we must get Big Money out of politics.
