Rep. Yassamin Ansari has set up a table and this sign outside Speaker Johnson’s office.

Is this the Space Laser lady?

Ted Cruz: "Last night was a disaster. It was an electoral blowout. The results in New Jersey were disastrous. The results in Virginia were terrible."

Missouri is the only state in the nation to tax income, but not capital gains. We are also ranked 50th in the nation for education funding.

Walmart is now selling butter in two-stick packages… IYKYK

I just made a video post and called New Yorkers, “New York Citians” and now I’m going to go put myself in the corner. I sounded like I was making a damn Pace Picante commercial. 🫠😂

TARIFFS ARE TAXES

Listen, I’m a damn hick, but I’m not hick enough to believe people from New York City will want to move to Missouri because the city elected Mamdani…

The current U.S. government shutdown is now the longest closure in American history. From SNAP benefits to travel concerns and small businesses, we track the economic impacts.

Democrats won all six seats they contested in the legislature, flipping it from a 12-5 Republican majority to a 10-7 Democratic majority.

There is no reason to still be on Twitter.

🚨 CNBC: "Announced corporate job cuts surging past 1 million so far this year, with 153,000 new layoffs just in October according to Challenger. That is the worst October since 2003."

Someone ask him to find Nigeria on an unmarked map

If it can happen in Mississippi, it can happen in Missouri.

I think it’s funny that establishment Democrats are like “Oh my God, how could Mamdani win?” My 13 year-old daughter lives in a town of 480 people surrounded by cornfields. She can spell his name and knows his platform because of a viral TikTok. Don’t sleep on the young folks.

Someday soon, Republicans will figure out how population density works…

Dear National Democrats, You see how progressive politics can win in the cities. Now come back to rural America and help us take over the country.

Tonight, California made it clear: we’re taking back our voice and democracy. Here’s to proof that when we act together, we win.

I listened to several younger Democrats running for office in Iowa last weekend, and I’m telling you, Iowa and other states in the heartland have had enough. 2026 is going to be hard on Republicans, which is why they are going to try to limit voting. Pay attention.

There is a lady on TikTok pretending to have a baby that has gone without formula all night — she is calling churches around the country to ask if they can help. Some of them are really embarrassing themselves. Especially the mega-churches.

Democrats kicked ass last night. This is just the beginning.

I’m not flying until folks are paid. Canceled a flight two weeks ago and I’ll do it again.

I live in farm country and I am currently vacuuming beetles off my kitchen ceiling. This is what I think about when someone says they want to move to the country and buy an old farmhouse…

A lot of the people you see arguing against food assistance are actually on food assistance. They work at Walmart or a convenience store and think they are deserving, but others are not. This is projection and the way that the 1% keep poor people pitted against poor people so they don’t look up.

The president of the United States thinks asylum-seekers come from mental asylums. He says it in almost every interview where the topic of migration comes up. How is this not 25th Amendment territory? How is he not an embarrassment to this entire country?

I don’t think the Republicans plan to open the government for a while. Trump thinks he is untouchable while Congress is out. He has no incentive to get them back to work.

P.S. No one is scared of a socialist when we have literal Nazis working in the White House...

According to new NBC and ABC/Ipsos polls, Trump's approval ratings — especially on the economy and cost of living — are now in the negative double digits. Remember: Trump is a failing president. He is not all powerful.

The best part about the school voucher scam? Private religious schools use vouchers to recruit athletes. They are defunding public schools to make their football teams better…

Just a reminder: millions of people who live in “red” states didn’t vote for any of this shit.

Government policies reward and compensate too much corn that needs too much fertilizer which runs off into too many streams and rivers and eventually kills too many people. jesspiper.substack.com/p/universal-...

O'DONNELL: Why did you pardon Changpeng Zhao? TRUMP: Are you ready? I don't know who he is O'DONNELL: His crypto exchange Binance helped facilitate a $2b purchase of World Liberty Financial's stablecoin. And they you pardoned him. TRUMP: Here's the thing -- I know nothing about it

Dear media: you normalize Trump when you interview him. Don’t give him another platform for his lies.

It’s not a mistake when you have no process.

"I guess I'm not allowed to run": Trump concedes third term won't happen www.axios.com/2025/10/29/t...

I’m driving home from an event last night in Iowa and I just passed a flag flying in a field south of Des Moines that said “avenge Charlie Kirk‘s death.” Absolute brain rot.

Obama: As for the president, he has been focused on critical issues like paving over the rose garden so folks don't get mud on their shoes and gold plating the Oval Office and building a ballroom… If you can't visit a doctor, don't worry. He will save you a dance.

Why do people buy pizza with EBT? Because cauliflower is five dollars a head and you can buy five pizzas with the same money. It’s not that folks don’t want to be healthy. They can’t afford to be healthy.

OK, regardless of source, credit where due: That's a great headline.

BOSTON (AP) — Judges order the federal government to use contingency funds for SNAP food aid payments during the shutdown.

HOW CAN WE AFFORD TO INVADE VENEZUELA IF THERE'S NO MONEY FOR SNAP???

The prince of peace is going to take us to war with Venezuela?
