As Americans cut back on groceries just to pay bills, Missouri Republicans have put Amendment 5 on the ballot which could RAISE TAXES on groceries AND bills!

[Senate Democrats @MoSenDems]

Voters in Blue Springs are sounding the alarm on Speaker Patterson’s proposal to RAISE SALES TAXES while rich people like him & his donors get massive tax breaks:

As a direct result of Republican policy changes, health insurance premiums rose by an average 114% to $1,905 annually.

The Republican plan to RAISE SALES TAXES will make things even harder for Missouri’s small businesses:

According to its own supporters, Amendment 4 would “End Direct Democracy in Missouri”, not simply overhaul it.

This #MemorialDay weekend, pick up #UnionMade snacks and drinks to support America's hardest working families! #LiUNA #Solidarity

[Senate Democrats @MoSenDems]

Should politicians be able to RAISE SALES TAXES without a vote of the people?

Should your vote matter LESS than the votes of those same politicians?

They couldn’t even finish out the year!! They left families and children scrambling to close out the year. Now these families will have to figure out what to do for next year and will they get all their children’s records from this school year.

This May, we recognize #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth. The construction industry faces unique challenges that affect mental wellbeing. Let’s stand together, look out for one another, and keep the conversation going—on and off the jobsite.

Our country's past, present, and future are #UnionMade. #1u #UnionStrong

[Senate Democrats @MoSenDems]

PLEASE DON’T AIR TRUMP INTERVIEWS UNLESS HE ASKED SERIOUS QUESTIONS ABOUT HIS DESPICABLE ACTIONS !

In Missouri, a photo ID is already required to vote, and only citizens are eligible to even register.

In California, when it rains, it pours. 🌧️ Rainwater catchment (ARCSA/ASPE/ANSI 63) & stormwater harvesting (ARCSA/ASPE/ANSI 78) help communities have water when they need it most. Whether it's rain or shine, @ARCSA3 leads the way in water resilience. #WaterResilience #Stormwater #Drought

Manufacturing jobs often mean a strong economy with good wages that support working families. This is a very, very troubling sign:

[Doug Beck @DougBeck562]

Today is the first day of the 2026 Legislative Session. Senate Democrats are focused on affordability & lowering costs for Missouri families.

There’s a lot we would like to see in the Governor’s State of State next week, but top of our list is: NO NEW TAXES & NO TAX INCREASES.

Strong #Unions mean stronger #Workers, wages, jobs, and an economy that works for working families. #1u #UnionProud #Solidarity
