Standing up to wannabe dictators is so hot right now.

*** UPDATES/CORRECTIONS *** Springfield's Nexstar station is actually "KOLR 10" not "KORL 10." & ABC 3 KTVO in Kirksville was recently sold to Rincon Broadcasting Group.

There is a genocide happening in Gaza. Today is a really bad one.

No, I don't "give Mark Alford credit" for holding a lot of public town halls and facing his angry constituents who are livid at his lies and performative, sanctimonious nonsense. He needs to 1) stop the lies and nonsense, 2) apologize to the Missouri voters, 3) resign, and 4) THEN he gets credit.

AAAAAAND, it's gone. | Yeah, folks. Even though Missouri voters passed Proposition A by a big margin (57%), the Republican politicians of this state decided they don't work for Missourians, but for corporations. #Missouri #moleg

Bubbly water brand is based. 😳😵‍💫

HAWLEY IS JUST JOSHIN' US | If you thought Sen. "Josh" Hawley was named after the biblical character who "fit the battle of Jericho," you'll be sad to hear he was actually the namesake of the slang, verb form of "Josh," which means to tell a cheeky lie. #moleg #politics #accountability #missouri

Honesty, anything that keeps this in the news if fine with me.

I'm embarking on a quest to discover the ultimate source of "aura." Drop your best theories 👇

Anyone else want a national prohibition on partisan gerrymandering? ✋️😐

I'm in conversation with a guy who is literally trying to argue that the idea of that Whites Only segregated community in the Springfield area is an exercise of "freedom of assembly." Like, ... I think the USA might be cooked, guys. #WakeUpMAGA

Someone so fragile that they can't live in a community alongside people with different shades of skin is probably one of the weakest, most-pathetic things I can think of... #springfieldmo #Missouri

Mass deportation hurts the U.S. economy.

I don't praise people for cleaning up a mess they made themself. I won't praise #JoshHawley for trying to save #Medicaid he voted to cut.

Tornados 🌪 in Chicago area just diverted my flight to land in Milwaukee, where it sounds like I'll be stranded for the night.

Airline Gate Attendant: "We're looking for passengers Jones and Rothwell. Jones and Rothwell, please come to the desk and speak with an attendant." Everyone* at the gate: "OOOOOOOOOoooo someone's in trouble!" (*Just me, actually.)

It's funny to me that Dean Cain, (the D-list actor who played the most forgettable version of Superman), is who FOX has to scrape together to make sure their audience knows they think any new superhero movie is too "woke."

BREAKING: Scientists are staging a “science fair” in the lobby of a Congressional building to tell elected officials about the critical knowledge the US will lose because their research grants have been canceled.

Cory Booker: Don’t let them pass this bill. They don’t have the votes, our pressure is working. We need them to painfully know that people in their districts will lose healthcare & pay exorbitant premiums. Rural hospitals will close as millions are thrown off of Medicaid. www.tiktok.com/t/ZTjT7AJ8p/

Who is going to primary Fetterman? (Jk, he'll run as a Republican next cycle. Calling it now.)

[NOT SO] FUN FACT: If we somehow seized the net worth of just 3 people: 1) Elon Musk, 2) Jeff Bezos, & 3) Mark Zuckerberg,... ... that would fund Medicaid. All of it. Instead, those guys get a tax break, and millions of Americans are losing Medicaid. #WakeUp #StopMAGA #SaveAmerica

I see that Americans are becoming more and more aware of the open corruption of the trump regime. I do not think MAGA's reflexive defense of everything he does will last much longer... ... then again, he got elected after insurrection, so we all are probably just f***ed. #AmericanOligarchy

Hough said "close to half of the Senate" has called or texted him saying "if the House thinks we're going to do House bills next week, they're kidding themselves."

Is Donald Trump cognitively able to be POTUS? What signs did you see in Pres. Joe Biden that you don't see 10x worse in this guy? #doublestandard

Ashley Babbit's family is poised to recieve 30 million dollars (from tax payers) thanks to the Dept of Justice... Mrs Sicknick just wanted a phone call and the people who assaulted her son Brian held accountable.

100 days down, 1361 days to go...

If josh actually wanted this to pass, he'd title it something that doesn't alienate Democratic votes. But he doesn't actually want it to pass.

Trump is polling lower than any president in the modern era at this point in his term. The state of emergency is reaching more & more people. It's sinking in.

Every single hour Judge Dugan is in federal custody and Kash Patel is head of the FBI is another loss for American freedom. #ReleaseJudgeDugan #FirePatel #ProsecutePatel

If a Disney World cast member breaks character in front of a guest, shattering the illusion, they'd likely be fired. SecDef Pete still has a job though.

Winds are changing in #Missouri. #moleg #MidwestUnrest #UnitedState

I mean…

"I am announcing the closure of the State Department’s Counter Foreign Information Manipulation and Interference (R/FIMI), formerly known as the Global Engagement Center (GEC)," Sec. Rubio said Wednesday. It's probably fine. That effort was obviously a complete failure anyway.

"On Tyranny" is a #1 NYT bestseller again. I wish the moment were different. But I’m glad the book is useful. And grateful for all the kind words about putting the 20 lessons to work. snyder.substack.com/p/twenty-les...

Senator Booker: What kind of man is in the white house that makes fun of the disabled, who lies so much that the fact checkers lose count, that minimizes the pain and the suffering

The people who have spent years manipulating our economy to siphon off as much money as they possibly could off the backs of workers -- are now attacking the only systems and programs that have allowed that messed up arrangement to barely scrape by for all those years. What's gonna happen now?

"...in four years.*"

Stop listening to the rich.

She says she “expected more from President Donald trump” but says instead he’s punishing “working class Americans” like her; she also says she’s received death threats for going public with her concerns recently & cnn reports that “her home has been egged.” youtu.be/f-FE3XxsOI4?...

No one is talking about the fact that Donald hasn't told Elon to GTFO of the White House yet because he literally doesn't have the power to do that. Billionaires are more powerful than any elected official in the U.S.A. #AmericanOligarchy

But her emails...

New in PN: Why the Wisconsin Supreme Court race is a big deal "Voters by now have demonstrated their ability to choose diarrhea forever over everyone gets a puppy, & to vote away their own rights and democracy. But the WI election is a chance to start turning the country away from authoritarianism"

Any member of the military who did what they did on signal would be kicked out or arrested.
