You shouldn't need to bring a copy of the MO Constitution with you when you vote!

Our amendment will require clear, fair, accurate, unbiased language that's easy to understand.

These brutal losses could have been avoided if Congressional Republicans had the courage to stand up to Trump and end his trade war sooner. The American people will remember who fought for affordability and who called it a hoax.

How many businesses closed in the past year because of the unconstitutional taxes that were unilaterally imposed on Americans? How many children went hungry? How many people lost jobs?

Congress could have acted.

Congress knew the harms.

Republicans refused.

Jesse Jackson birthed a movement that united every corner of the working classβ€”from Black and Brown Americans to working mothers. Living up to our country's highest ideals requires bridging the imaginary lines that divide us.

Today, we mourn the passing and honor the life of a civil rights icon.

Reverend Jesse Jackson rose out of the Civil Rights Movement and spent his life fighting for justice. He was a towering voice on the national stage and a source of strength and pride for so many communities.

Today, we mourn a giant in the civil rights movement who left an indelible mark on our politics and our world. All of us in the fight to build a democracy that works for everyone stand on the shoulders of Reverend Jesse Jackson.

During these 37 years here's the average job growth per year under the two parties:

Democrats - 2,500,000

After President Biden left him an economy improving on all fronts, Donald Trump and the Republican Congress completely destroyed it.

Fewer jobs
Worse pay
Higher inflation
Less access to health care

Republican policies fail American workers.

Kehoe tax cut plan is Brownback 2.0. That's not a good thing. Missouri Gov. Mike Kehoe's proposed tax cut bears an eerie resemblance to former Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback's "Great Experiment" 14 years ago. Brownback's "Glide Path to Zero" (income taxes) cratered

Donald Trump and Pam Bondi once again violated the Constitution.

They’re wasting your tax dollars arresting journalists β€” while protecting pedophiles and the murderers of RenΓ©e Good and Alex Pretti.

Republicans continue to silence Missouri voters - Democrats, Republicans, everyone. Call your state Senators and tell them to make sure this bill doesn't pass without bringing back the primary.

In 2024, because Republicans ended the state run presidential primary, the Republican party held caucuses that had a couple 100 people vote.

Democrats made sure Missourians had a voice; 20,000 people were able to participate, but that's only a fraction of those who voted in 2020.

Warren: "I know there are Republicans right now who are seeing what we're seeing in MN, and they know it's wrong. It's time to speak out. Silence is complicity. Grow a spine, show some backbone. Being 'disturbed' doesn't change anything and the ICE agents who are waving around loaded guns know it."
