Last night, Democrats flipped 3 seats in MISSISSIPPI, breaking the supermajority in their state legislature. Democrats showed up and made massive gains in red districts all over the country. If you want to help do that in Missouri, HI! 👋👋 That is literally why we exist! 1/

Friends! It's our favorite time – time to welcome new members to Blue MO! A LOT of people have joined since our last update, and we are thrilled to welcome them to this big-hearted community. Give them a shout out! DRUM ROLL PLEASE! A big Blue MO welcome to: 1/

Listen to this: "Just hours after hearing from President Donald Trump during a caucus meeting, Republicans in the Missouri Senate showed they are ready to please him by shoving a new congressional district map to passage over opposition from Democrats." MO GOP is "ready to please him," eh? 1/

Hundreds of people have joined Blue Missouri @everystatebluemo.bsky.social in the past few weeks. Pro tip: You don't have to live in Missouri to join (I don't). In fact, pro-democracy forces in heavily gerrymandered states like Missouri really need help from outside the state, so pitch in!

Friends, I'm speechless. In just the last two weeks, we've had HUNDREDS of people join Blue MO. When I started Blue MO in 2017, I dreamed of what we could do with a grassroots community of people supporting nominees throughout the state. Just goes to show. Dreams can come true.

Oh, wow friends. W.O.W. It's our favorite time – time to welcome new members to Blue MO! And our 💙 are full, because A LOT of people have joined since our last update. We're excited to welcome them to this big hearted community. We are SO, SO EXCITED to give a big Blue MO welcome to... 1/

The MO GOP is arrogant enough to think we'll just roll over, let them gerrymander us into smaller and smaller slices – let them push us into tinier and tinier corners. But there's a thing about folks that are cornered. They tend to come out swinging. Let's go, friend. LFG. bluemissouri.org

Join Blue Missouri to crowdfund state level Democratic candidates. The GOP state legislators now planning to further gerrymander the state to benefit the GOP deserve a well-funded opponent in their next campaign! @everystatebluemo.bsky.social

Here's the problem with the MO GOP's plan to gerrymander Dems out of existence. Folks are NOT having it. Literally DOZENS of people joined Blue Missouri today. You should, too. We're not finished. Hell, we're just getting started. LFG. (Join us at bluemissouri.org!)

Oooh, friends! It's our favorite time – time to welcome new members to Blue MO. And our hearts are full, because there are A LOT of people to welcome. We are SO EXCITED to give a big Blue MO welcome to: Jeanne in StL 💙 Liz in Littleton ✨ Domenica in Shell Beach 🔥 Melissa in Laguna Woods 🥳 1/

It's that time again! Each week, we welcome new members to our Blue Missouri family. Every time we see a new member join, we do a happy dance! So please join us in extending a HUGE Blue MO welcome to: Aaron from KC 💙 Katherine from KC ⭐️ Tiffany from Lees Summit 🔥 Victoria from Sedwickville ✨ 1/

You know what time it is? Our favorite time! Time to welcome new members to Blue Missouri! 1/

You can help us fund nominees in the reddest and toughest districts in Missouri. This is how we claw our way back to democracy in a ruby red state. Contest every seat.

Ooh–it's our favorite! It's time to welcome new Blue MO members! All these folks are boosting underfunded Dems running in some of the reddest parts of MO. And we 💙 them for it. So a HUGE Blue MO welcome to: Rebecca in Vienna; 🥳 Karen in Columbia; ⭐️ Georgia in Brattleboro; 💙 Welcome, friends! 1/

MO voters voted for paid sick leave. The MO GOP took it away. Time to vote them out. #runeverywhere #bluemissouri

Know what we hear a lot? That without Blue MO, nominees for MO state legislature in some of the reddest parts of the state wouldn't have had money to do much of anything. We fund first the nominees that have the least. Here's why. 1/

We know we need to run everywhere, organize everywhere, fight everywhere – especially in red, rural districts. Too often the logistics get in the way. "How can I afford to run?" "Who will help me?" "Will I be doing this alone?" Blue Missouri answers those questions. 1/

Three women protesting, Touched the heart of a woman passing by, Who texted another woman, Who wrote a social media post about it, Which landed in front of you this morning. Don't underestimate the power of small actions. Don't underestimate the power of your voice. And know that we see you. 💙

Please join me next Thursday as I host Dr. Allison Gill, "Mueller, She Wrote" for the monthly Blue Missouri meeting. There is no one I would rather speak to during this time in America. Click on the link below to sign up. us02web.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

From one corner of the state to the other (and everywhere in between), Missouri said #NoKings. We're making a Blue Missouri, friends. LFG. #bluemissouri

Missouri friends – hope you can join for this excellent conversation with Andra, who is an expert on Christian Nationalism and its impact on states like MO. Register here: us02web.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

Here's the thing. In huge swaths of the US, Fox is "the news." Local Sinclair stations repeat Fox talking points, which are reinforced at the pulpit. It's a steady diet of disinfo. Reality's slap hits hard. THIS is why we focus on supporting Dems running in the reddest places. They spread truth.

Accurate.

In 2017 a MO Republican wanted legislators who voted for Real ID to have to display a disclaimer: “I WOULD RATHER KNEEL TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT THAN STAND STRONG PROTECTING MY CONSTITUENTS' RIGHT TO PRIVACY." Surely this will outrage them! Paging MO Republicans. Missouri Republicans? Bueller?

We're so mad we're seeing blue. Yesterday the MO GOP overturned the will of MO voters– repealing paid sick leave that we enacted in Nov and putting abortion back on the ballot. So join us tomorrow at noon central. Let's talk about what's next. Register: us02web.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

The GOP playbook: break it so you can't use it. 51% of applications denied for "failure to interview." Average wait time for the call line: over ONE HOUR. 50k calls were disconnected before reaching a human. They've known for years. They wax poetic about being "pro-life" while MO kids go hungry.

The latest from the pro-birth party…

2 in 3 nursing home residents in Missouri are covered by Medicaid. Remember that when Republicans announce funding cuts and work requirements.

In their world, little girls get 30 dolls.

I will be on a Substack live this morning with Shannon Watts...I'd love to see you there.

Can confirm. You only get what you fight for. So fight for everything.

Jess is criss-crossing the heartland, and everywhere she goes she motivates and inspires folks who are too used to being left out of the conversation. We're different. With us, underfunded and undersupported races in red states get center stage. It's revolutionary, and it's long overdue. LFG

MO Republicans hoping to overturn the paid sick leave law Missourians passed: “Our side of the aisle has great concern for the burden that this would place on businesses." Translation: MO Republicans don't care about you. Theirs is a government of the donors, by the donors, and for the donors.

These GOP state legislators think they can put abortion back on the ballot indefinitely – defying the people's will and sapping our resources (financial and emotional). They think we'll eventually give up. We know you better than that. Vote every last one of them out. LFG.

Brattin said folks who voted for paid sick leave don't have "skin in the game."

A write-up in the local paper from my visit to Allen County, Kansas. Every person who subscribes to the local paper will see a progressive message on the front page of the paper. People from 18 different counties showed up to the event. We make change when we show up in rural spaces.

Join us next week!

We are calling for rural and working class Democrats to do the work in our own communities. These are our folks, and with help, we should be doing the work of calling them in. We aren’t asking for sympathy. We are asking for solidarity and resources. open.substack.com/pub/jesspipe...

We're really proud of the work that we've done and the power we're building for 2026. If you're looking for a way to fight back by lifting people up, we'd love to welcome you to our Blue Missouri community. We crowdfund for underfunded Dems running in some of the reddest places in MO. It matters.💙

You can text “Piper” to 33777 and get on our email list. I’ll never spam you, but I will invite you to monthly meeting with experts to help you stay engaged and sane. I’d love to see you in our community of over 800 members doing the work. It’s going to take all of us.

Did you know that I am the Executive Director for Blue Missouri? Our members raised over $230,000 in the last cycle for down ballot democratic nominees in the reddest and most rural districts in the state. No one is doing the work we do…you can be a part of it. You can join us. bluemissouri.org

This is an excellent suggestion.

This isn’t unique to KCMO. People are being fired for no cause and with no notice all over the country. They lose their jobs, their stability. Their communities lose income. And we all lose the benefit of their service. Shame on Republicans. Shame on them.

Missouri stands to lose an estimated $130 million. If the cuts hold, the impact on local, regional, and state economy will be significant.

Soybeans are the No. 1 crop in Missouri, covering more than 5 million acres of the state. Our state economy literally depends on the growth of soybeans – yearly, the value of MO soybeans is greater than $2.5 billion. Shutting down these labs hurts us globally and locally.

USAID supports Missouri Ag producers. I hope you’ll share… #USAIDrural

Can confirm. Grassroots power is impressive. In fact, it's the only thing that scares them. That's why they're trying to hard to overwhelm and depress you. Don't give them the satisfaction.

Trump's response to the DC tragedy is predictable: blame Democrats. That doesn't surprise red state Dems – that's the playbook. Here in MO, the GOP has had a majority for 22 years and a trifecta for 8. Still, they blame Dems for the state of the state all day, every day. They own this mess.
