Alright folks, here we go. Ask me anything, 30ish mins, gogo!

Also, before we start: I’m not leaving this platform. I think it’s important to be where the fight is, and I’m saying.

That being said, these weekly AMAs will be moving to clearer skies next week. Follow me there.

[Yaroslava @strategywoman]

A lot of people are still leaving X.
Where are you going?
Which other place?
You can always find me as a strategy woman there and there.

These there and there are growing quickly as I see.

[Palmer Report @PalmerReport]

If you voted for Trump, I despise you. Not because we have different political opinions, but because you’re a piece of shit.

Morning from Kyiv!

So, unpunished evil has gone free.
It is not the end, just the beginning.

Drones attacked us the whole night.
Debris fell across five Kyiv districts, causing multiple fires and damage to residential buildings.
We are fine. I had a #warcoffee

The world turns very dark today.

Very dark.

Smallminded smallfingered evil has won this round.

My prayers are with the resistance.

Kamala Harris didn't lose, America did.

As a nation, we collectively failed her—and in doing so we failed girls and women, the LGBTQ community, people of color, Muslims, Jewish people, immigrants, the sick, the poor, the elderly, the people of Ukraine, and Gaza, and the planet.

It's unthinkable, that instead of being able to celebrate a beautiful, hopeful new chapter in the story of this nation with a leader who appealed to the best of our natures—we will instead be holding a postmortem for democracy as we enter our 250th year, stewarded by a malevolent sociopath who despises empathy and shuns the law.

I truly thought we were better than this, that our shared humanity would show up. I thought we would reject this hatred and ugliness once and for all.

I hate being wrong about the majority of the people of this nation.

I don't know what's ahead. All I know is that good-hearted human beings are more necessary now than ever.

We did all that we could to avoid this moment, but now that it's here we'll just have to decide who we will be.

There is no way to comprehend or measure how grievous an error this is, but the only thing the decent people of this nation can do is wake up tomorrow and fight like hell for what we still believe is worth the fight, and we will.

I'll be doing that with whoever has the strength to join me.

I'm mourning the country we could have been and the one we apparently are—but I refuse to give up believing that compassion is the right path, that diversity makes us better, and that love is greater than fear.

Countless Americans are endangered now on a scale and intensity almost unheard of in modern America. Our first responsibility is to protect these people and resist these forces.

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

Trump confirms he would give anti-vaxxer RFK Jr total control of public health agencies: “He's gonna do pretty much what he wants as far as I'm concerned. He wants health for women.”

This should scare the hell out of you. Vote!

Veterans who took care of my family growing up are who inspired me to serve.

Missouri doesn’t have a veteran in the U.S. Senate, and it shows.

[Elad Gross 🇺🇸 @BigElad]

Andrew Bailey is still lying to the media and the public, claiming that I support crime.

Test a rape kit and get back to me.

@AndrewBaileyMO has ducked every debate, choosing to hide behind reporters.
I prefer my attorneys not to be cowards.

Say it to me. Debate tonight.

[WinstonWatercolors @WinstonWCs]

On January 6th, I was punched in the face knocked on my back, pepper sprayed, and nearly stabbed with a sharpened flag pole as I defended the Capitol from trump’s mob. When I hear “we’re not going back” I think, “we CANNOT go back”

[Brian Krassenstein @krassenstein]

Trump couldn’t beat 'Sleepy Joe' in 2020. That was before:

- Jan 6.
- Dobbs decision.
- 4 Indictments
- A Sexual assault civil loss.
- A Business conviction for Fraud.
- 34 Felony convictions.
- Personal liability for Fraud.
- A 2nd impeachment
- Saying that Liz Cheney should have guns fired at her and pointed at her face

Should I keep going?

[World Health Network @TheWHN]

COVID-19 is not just a cold. While some may experience mild symptoms, the virus can lead to serious long-term health issues, including damage to the lungs, heart, and brain. Even those with mild cases may face lingering effects. Protect yourself and others by staying informed and taking precautions—COVID’s impact can be far-reaching.

My husband says I spend too much time thinking about the upcoming election.

I’m a woman. I work in healthcare. I am a lawyer who works for just results & civil rights. I work in the community for housing and education. This election matters in every sphere in which I work. Vote

"A lot of people pooh-poohed the idea of Long Covid, and still do"

Today @covidinquiryuk is hearing from Patricia Temple, a nurse who has #LongCovid

She caught #Covid from a patient

[Laura Burkhardt @LauraAnnSTL]

I’m hearing that there are swarms of men across Missouri who organized & walked out of their church this morning when their Priest/Pastor began to give their final pitch against Amendment 3, which when passed, will restore abortion rights.
Thank you to each of these men. #YesOn3

[Elad Gross 🇺🇸 @BigElad]

I went to Trump Headquarters in Warsaw, Missouri. Not only was I the only Democrat there, I was the only candidate for Attorney General there.

Bring Missouri together. Vote Elad Gross.

Morning from Ukraine!

The night was very windy here.
We had drones, but only for a short time.
I had a #warcoffee already and am ready to start this new week.
We all know that it will be very important for Ukraine as well.
