"We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both." –Justice Louis Brandeis
Words spoken many years ago that are just as relevant today.
We must continue the fight to get big money out of politics.

A child dying of cancer spent her final days fighting to free her wrongfully detained father from ICE custody.

Donald Trump asked whether Elon Musk's failed DOGE experiment was "all bullshit."
Spoiler: it was.
So I sent Trump a list of suggestions to cut $2 trillion in true government waste without gutting government programs and jacking up costs for families.
Missouri could lose around $400 million in federal funding for food assistance under a plan approved by Congressional Republicans.
Every single Missouri Republican Congress person voted for the cuts.
