Democrats for Education Reform, the front operation for billionaire privateering of public education, has gone all-in for right-wing policies. New story by @masspolprofmo.bsky.social on Public Voices for Public Schools pv4ps.org/declining-...

Juan Ciscomani said he had a spine when he signed letters to protect Medicaid, but his vote proves he never had one in the first place.

He didn’t just turn his back on #AZ06 families, he looked us in the eye, lied, and took a victory lap with his vote.

My statement 🔽

Moms hold our country together, often invisibly. It's time we start recognizing motherhood for what it truly is: raising the next generation and shaping our country's future.

This Mother's Day, don't just say thanks, join us in demanding better.

(next to an image of President Obama) “It is up to all of us to fix this. It's not going to be because somebody comes and saves you. The most important office in this democracy is the citizen—the ordinary person who says, no, that's not right." PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA

After the Trump administration canceled funding for schools to buy local produce, Missouri farmers hope the relationships continue Farmers say the program guaranteed fair prices and encouraged them to scale production.

💡 Studies show ripple effects through local economies when higher quantities of local food are purchased. A 2010 study found that for every dollar spent on local food products, there is between 32 cents and 90 cents in additional local economic activity.

June 14 is No Kings Day.

While Trump hosts his birthday parade in DC, we’ll be rising up everywhere else with nationwide protests to send him one message: NO KINGS!

Kahlenber promotes the abuser’s theory of authoritarianism. “Look what you made me do” is the victim-blaming excuse of psychopaths. Authoritarians *everywhere* target higher education to destroy independent centers of information and resistance, not because of affirmative action. “DEI” is pretext.

I watched your segment last night, thank you for warning us. The reality of really scary stuff like this is hard to process. I guess that's part of the point of it all.

This. Is. How. You. Do. It.

The CFPB has delivered $21B in relief to 205 million+ Americans by taking on junk fees, scammers, megabanks, and predatory lenders.

So why are Republicans trying to defund the agency?

They’re NOT fighting for the people—they're fighting for Wall Street & the ultra wealthy.

Responsible government should be responsive to the will of the people.

"Don't undermine the citizen initiative petition process," LWVMO President Marilyn McLeod told a Senate Committee on April 28. Testifying against HB 507, she said the process is already cumbersome for the people to get something on the ballot and "extra rules are unnecessary."

The DOJ is not supposed to be the president's plaything.

More recklessness and incompetence from the Defense Secretary that undermines America’s national security.

He should resign or be fired before an entirely avoidable catastrophe occurs.

Iron Dome Technology: Elon Musk’s License to Steal Taxpayer Dollars Donald Trump and Elon Musk are using government power to funnel public money into private profit, exemplified by a needless projects that would enrich Musk through a lucrative licensing deals.

Trump's plan for an "Iron Dome" for the U.S. would give Elon Musk a license to steal from taxpayers cepr.net/publications...

A friend of mine has coined the term “Pinocheting” to describe what the government is doing to these prisoners.

and the administration is out there taking credit for BIDENS WORK! good job, guy!

Primary care shortage has an outsized impact on rural Missouri Rural Missourians tend to be older and have more chronic health conditions. It makes a consistent primary care provider more important, but rural patients have the least access to them.

All but seven Missouri counties have shortages of primary care providers. Those mostly rural counties that lack providers see higher rates of chronic diseases such as diabetes, cancer or kidney problems, as well as higher rates of tobacco usage.

Exclusive: Trump budget proposal would fully eliminate Head Start The White House's budget proposes eliminating Head Start, an early childhood education program that provides services to low-income families.

Head Start has played a pivotal role in providing childcare and early childhood education to working class families in #MO05 and communities across the country for decades.

Congressional Republicans must stand up to protect these vital services.

America has a long & righteous history of providing safe harbor for those fleeing persecution abroad.

As the Trump Administration continues its work to decimate avenues for legal immigration, I’m proud to join @repyassansari.bsky.social in the fight to reinstate the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program.

President Trump’s reckless trade war and tariff taxes, implemented with the permission of congressional Republicans, continue to devastate the retirement portfolios and pensions of seniors across the country.

At what point will the GOP end this self-inflicted crisis?

I'm no expert, but I understand that crows recognize human faces, communicate with each other in very sophisticated ways, and basically are way cool birds. Since I learned more about them a few years ago I now look at crows with much more respect. Funny how that can happen.

Steve Kerr: "I believe in academic freedom. I think it's crucial for all of our institutions to be able to handle their own business the way they want to. And they should not be shaken down and told what to teach, what to say, by our government. That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard."

Trump’s Targeting of Homeless Agency Signals Sharp Shift in Policy The president has all but shut down the United States Interagency Council on Homelessness, but his real goal appears to be a fundamental change of approach for getting people off the streets.

The US Interagency Council on Homelessness (USICH) is critical in coordinating the federal response to homelessness.

The President’s assault on USICH and Housing First will only exacerbate America’s unacceptable homelessness crisis.

I. was. wrong.

Sam Altman, Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk - you are not Gods.

You are men. And you are careless." 🙌🏻🔥
