Imagine what the country would be like if Republicans spent as much time working on policy as they do working on disenfranchising voters?

LMAO Trump is still claiming that Iran "wants to make a deal," and threatening to blow the country up if they don't. It's just pathetic at this point.

Missouri Republicans passed a "Born Alive" bill that states that dying babies must receive aggressive and futile medical interventions against the wishes of grieving parents and the advice of doctors. This cruel bill is a ban on palliative care for the most vulnerable babies. I am just sick…

It’s a no brainer all right, in the sense that you don’t have one if you think this is good for the environment

There it is: "I don't think about Americans' financial situation, I don't think about anybody, I think about one thing: we cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon." He doesn't care about anyone's economic pain.

No, I don’t want to see your AI picture. No, I don’t want to see your AI slide deck. No, I don’t want to read your AI writing. It all looks and feels the same. And it’s also creepy.

Was at a concert at a small venue in Southern Missouri last night. Before the show, someone read a list of upcoming acts to the amphitheater. He said Ted Nugent was coming soon. The crowd erupted. My husband shouted, “Fck Ted Nugent.” Yeah…that’s my man. ❤️

The Crucible was about the Red Scare and Communism. It was about McCarthyism. It was about neighbor against neighbor and fear. It was about America and hysteria. Sound familiar? open.substack.com/pub/jesspipe...

A gallon of gas is about to be the same as the minimum wage in Iowa…

I don’t give a shit about the Met Gala.

the first three questions Hegseth takes at this morning's press conference are from OAN, Real America's Voice, and the Daily Wire -- all right-wing propaganda outlets

I would not trade any amount of money generated from AI data centers for my childrens’ drinking water…

A standing room only event in rural Cameron, Missouri.  Rural Democrats are here. We have always been here. And I know one thing, the Republicans are gonna feel us in November. 

The average price of a gallon of gas hit $4.39 this morning — up 9¢ in just 24 hours, and 47% higher before the Iran war.

Expand the court.

Nope…

You have the right to send your child to a private religious school. You do not have the right to use taxpayer money to send your child to a private religious school.

BREAKING: The plaintiff in the lawsuit challenging Donald Trump’s $400 million ballroom has rejected a demand from the DOJ to drop the case. “Your assertion that this lawsuit puts the President’s life at ‘grave risk’ is incorrect and irresponsible,” wrote Gregory Craig, a lawyer for the plaintiff..

I will be in Joplin at the end of May. I would love to see you there!

Feels like I’ve watched this show for the Epsteinth time.

You can’t blame anyone for being skeptical. Fool me once…

As a Missouri resident, I just crossed the Mississippi and suddenly I am a first class citizen with bodily autonomy.

Data centers are just the newest iteration of an issue that has been generations in the making. More extraction from rural spaces. More pollution and decay. More hollowed-out communities. I have already seen how this story ends. open.substack.com/pub/jesspipe...

Me, being left behind…❤️

I’ve been rural all my life, but I have been organizing in rural Missouri for a decade now. I can tell you this, I have never been more hopeful than I am for the November election.

France passed a law requiring solar panels on every parking lot with more than 80 spaces. Equals 10 nuclear reactors Reduces heat island, shades cars The US -- 800 million parking spaces. Most of them are uncovered asphalt sitting in direct sunlight. Why aren't we doing this?

I just signed a bill to rename Minnesota’s community solar program after Speaker Melissa Hortman. Melissa was a true champion of solar and I was proud to sign this in honor of my dear friend.

I was able to visit Professor Cornell Brooks’s class today at the Harvard Kennedy School and speak for a few minutes on rural organizing. Pretty cool…

No…

What if the United States had a Congress?

The President of the United States is openly threatening to commit genocide against 90 million people. Prime Minister Carney: if there was ever a moment to denounce this illegal war, withdraw your support, and call for accountability for war crimes—it’s now.

25th Amendment. Now.

A reminder that the Heritage Foundation architected Project 2025 with Viktor Orbán in mind. Kevin Roberts called modern Hungary “the model” for conservative statecraft. Far-right authoritarianism is a globally collaborative movement.

In all seriousness, one thing that might be worth doing today: Tell your Reps and Senators to call Adm. Richard Correll, the Commander of U.S. Strategic Command, which controls the nation's nukes, and remind him of *his* unique responsibility to refuse an illegal order.

Tump says Putin explained NATO to him. Wow. That explains a lot

According to the Center for Healthcare Quality and Payment Reform, 50% of Missouri’s 58 remaining rural hospitals are at risk of closure. Another 21% are considered at immediate risk of closure.

An Easter message from the President…

I heard someone say that we should be registering voters at gas stations.

Kristi and then Pam. Next up: Tulsi.

"There’s nothing that says we can’t do a pay raise next year; however, we didn’t want to lock ourselves into something now that we couldn’t fund," said Mississippi Senate Education Committee Chairman Sen. Dennis DeBar, R-Leakesville, during a Sunday legislative meeting.

Ohhhmygod!!!

Ope! I have some bad news for the Trump kids…
