Olivia Nuzziโ€™s Real Victims More than her fiancรฉ, or fellow female journalists, the public will pay the price for these misdeeds. RFK Jr. will see to that.

Olivia Nuzzi wrote an entire story based on unnamed sources about Biden's decline, reinvigorating calls for him to leave the race -- and the whole time, she was working on RFK Jr.'s behalf, according to her ex-fiance. newrepublic.com/article/2035...

The good news is, we donโ€™t really have establishment Democrats in rural spaces. We have scrappy folks who stick out their neck to run for office.

The Republican National Committee is spending millions of dollars to harass and intimidate Missourians.

Donโ€™t be scared.

You arenโ€™t doing anything wrong by signing petitions. In fact, you are saving our state. ๏ฟผ

Rats are known to jump from sinking ships.

Republicans are known to retire when they know the House is going to flip.

Trump never had a fan base.

He had an army of bots who sold his racism and misogyny and xenophobia to uneducated Americans who took voting advice from bald eagle profiles posting Tweets from Eastern Europe.

Itโ€™s as stupid as it sounds.

"They're engaged, they're optimistic!" Jess Piper on Rural Voters, Gerrymandering, and Voting Blue "We know that gerrymandering doesn't always work."

Oh, hey! I was interviewed by Jenn Rubin of The Contrarian on why Democrats should invest in running everywhere.

No seat uncontested.

Not giving in to MAGA beauty standards is an act of resistance.

Let the Bots Squeal My name is Jess and I was a high school Literature teacher for 16 years until I decided to run as a Democrat in a rural, red district in Missouri. I bring you news and politics from Missouri and beyon...

Trump is a bad actor.

Trump is an algorithm.

The President is a fake account. He is pretending to be America First, but his true mission is to do the bidding of other countries. To destroy us from the inside.

And I understand that people can amass followers there and feel like they should stay.

I walked away from 160,000 followers and never looked back.

I never paid for the site and I deleted it after the election. There is no reason to stay for the bots who only attack my appearance. I was on Twitter for 10 years. I walked away from 160,000 followers and never looked back.

Twitter now displays where accounts are from and it has confirmed that too many of the political accounts are out of country bots.

Why are folks still there? To argue with bots? A waste of precious time while enriching the richest man on Earth.

Delete your account.
