State Rep. David Tyson Smith, D-Columbia, warned Missourians about the dangerous Republican plan to initiate a redraw of the state's congressional district map.

"Our republic is on the brink and I ask all of us to stand up and fight. There is no tomorrow," Smith said.

'Whites-only' group draws bipartisan rebuke over potential move to Missouri  • Missouri Independent A “whites-only” organization from Arkansas eyeing an expansion into Missouri inspired bipartisan outrage from state lawmakers.

Gee, we would hope so....

You can actually be mad at Republicans. It’s ok

In the meantime -- staying active and engaged in the conversation is a HUGE benefit. Encouraging friends and those who are not as politically engaged to at LEAST pay more attention and keep an eye on what Democrats are talking about and what they're working on. LOTS more to come.

We must support Democratic House (and Senate) candidates --- BUT ALSO, press those candidates to commit to respecting the will of the people.

Republicans speak with open contempt about the will of the people -- and so, that must be one of the main threads of conversation.

While efforts like that of @respectmovoters.org are a great step, -- the GOP majority has demonstrated they are no longer stewards of Democracy nor the rule of law. They believe they are even capable of undermining and attacking an active, existing constitutional amendment. (i.e. abortion rights)

This was a complete and total betrayal of the working families of Missouri. It also represents a further deterioration and weakening of our state's democracy.

The Republican conference must be removed from the majority. The people of Missouri must decide whether and how this betrayal is answered.

'BLATANT ATTEMPT TO INTIMIDATE' | House Minority Leader Ashley Aune released a statement on behalf of the Missouri House Democratic Caucus in response to the completely unwarranted state of emergency declaration by Gov. Mike Kehoe.

Missouri this is not a good look for us

PLEASE MO PROGS follow suit. Do not allow the authoritarian regressives in Jeff City steal back the voter approved rights to abortion and labor benefits. PLEASE!

Why Missouri must trust women to choose their own futures I've been counting.

"Let's be clear: This conversation isn't about being "prolife." It's about being pro-quality of life," state Rep. Kem Smith writes in this powerful op-ed.

What questions do you have for Democrats in the Missouri House of Representatives?
❓❓❓

Ask away! 👇

MO House Republicans are attempting to gaslight citizens into believing their anti-abortion, anti-democratic resolution is for the "safety of women."

Missourians ALREADY decided this. Republicans can't accept that so they imposing their own will.

Rep Aune and several others came into the rotunda with us. They stayed until all of us had a chance to speak. They expressed their thanks for us standing with them and giving them the inspiration to keep fighting. It’s Our House!! My first time standing up and speaking. It was powerful! 💪🏻💙

NO LONGER "THE PEOPLE'S HOUSE" | As Missouri Republican lawmakers work to figuratively silence the voices of Missourians, on Wednesday night, they LITERALLY silenced the voices of Missourians in the state capitol in Jefferson City.

Republicans in Congress can join Democrats right now to turn off the bogus emergency Trump has declared to impose worldwide tariffs.

Or they can continue to bend the knee to Trump.

Only six more Mondays left in session - and I couldn’t be prouder to be part of the @mohousedems.bsky.social budget team. The House officially sent the House version of the budget over to the Senate last week, and now it’s their turn to get to work!

ON IT!

State legislatures work better when they're not so ideologically lobsided and not controlled by corporate interests.

OH HELL NO! THIS AGAIN?! | The 'Pregnant Women Database' bill (HB 1579) is being resurrected in the Missouri House Children and Families Committee after its misguided sponsors quietly REFILED it during Spring Break this week. #moleg

This is why so many things are getting put in the Missouri Constitution nowadays. Because that's the only type of law politicians can't easily undo the very next year.
Now, Republicans want to make that process more difficult, giving themselves even more power in the state of Missouri.

It's official: The lunatics are now running the asylum.

Something new I learned this week. While @mohousedems.bsky.social have an incredible Policy Chair in Representative Bridget Walsh Moore, the Missouri House Republicans don’t even have “Policy Chair” as a role. No POLICY chair.

I suppose when you have no policy, you don’t need a chair. #moleg
