All things political...mostly...sometimes

[The Missouri Times @MissouriTimes]

Rep. Jim Schulte talks to Scott about Amendment 5 on @thisweekinmopol

[Peter Baker @peterbakernyt]

Least surprising revelation: Trump ditched his new luxury Qatari jet leaving Ankara in favor of the old Air Force One after Secret Service warned of security concerns stemming from the Iran war. @tylerpager @julianbarnes @EricSchmittNYT @EricLiptonNYT https://t.co/jjhM0zqAIs

@ThirdWayTweet @ThirdWayMattB Doesn’t need to be. Won’t be. But the tent has to cover the whole damn parking lot.

[Robert Cohen @kodacohen]

Considering major cuts at The Washington Post and Atlanta Journal Constitution, it’s a pretty dark week for journalism.

[Vicki Hobbs @vhobbs]

@ProgressMO And the rake tines are up

[Vicki Hobbs @vhobbs]

Sanitized, normalized language is how this became a media-assisted authoritarian takeover.

[Geoff @GeoffBrown82]

@brianstelter We really ought to stop calling these folks 'federal law enforcement officers'. That isn't what they're doing. They are threatening, intimidating, bullying, terrorizing, and assaulting people. There was a force like this in 1930's-40's Germany. They were the Gestapo.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

As he testifies before the Senate today, I'd like to know: What happened to this RFK Jr.?

[Vicki Hobbs @vhobbs]

Sure, led by Space Cowboy. Appointment coming soon to a theater near you.

[Tony Messenger @tonymess]

My reaction to today’s news: Wait, Space Force is real?

[Progress MO @ProgressMO]

According to @MissouriBudget, Prop A guaranteed earned paid sick days for 728,000 workers. But the #MOLeg GOP just ripped them away, overturning the voter-approved measure to appease big businesses and billionaire donors. https://t.co/cYgXMqoOHd #ProtectPaidSick

Bring it on. Do it. We don’t need a “see, he’s not that bad” governor. We need him to finish burning down state government, so we can rebuild from the ashes of two decades of R hellfire and brimstone.

[Senate Democrats @MoSenDems]

Rumor is that the Governor will finally make his decision about rigging Missouri’s maps by Friday. What will his decision be??? #moleg

[Tony Messenger @tonymess]

Is co-deputy director sorta like this?

[Dan Pfeiffer @danpfeiffer]

Today Trump:

- repositioned two nuclear submarines in response to a tweet

- fired the BLS commissioner for reporting jobs numbers he didn’t like

- moved his child sex trafficking buddy’s co-conspirator to a minimum security prison

[Acyn @Acyn]

Trump: People were taken out of the spa, hired by Epstein… I told him we don’t want you taking our people, whether it’s spa or not spa. He did it again, I said out of here.

Reporter: Was one of the stolen people Virginia Giuffre?

Trump: I think so. He stole her.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

“In this country, we have no ‘other people.’ We are American people, all of is.” This 1940s film warning against bigotry and fascism is more relevant now than ever.

[Melanie D'Arrigo @DarrigoMelanie]

We know. They gave you immunity.

[Vicki Hobbs @vhobbs]

@DLCC Why follow the will of the people? Why abide by successful initiative petitions or propositions approved by voters? Not hiding in plain site—it’s flagrantly ignoring anything not MAGA approved!

[Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee @DLCC]

Republicans are now working to make it harder for their constituents to put ballot measures in front of voters. Why? Because they don’t actually care about what the people of their states want or need, they just want to enforce their reckless agenda. https://t.co/HqG9AoiON3

[Josh Dawsey @jdawsey1]

Trump's political team commissioned a poll that showed Marjorie Taylor Greene losing against Jon Ossoff by double-digits in Georgia, and Trump communicated the results to her in a bid to keep her out of the race. She fires back against Trump's team here. https://t.co/o4OaCBReSO

[kicole nidman @ferald_gord]

actually so funny that the pope has a chill brother in chicago whom he talks to apparently every day, and an insane brother in florida. don’t get much more american than having an insane brother that lives in florida.

[Tony Messenger @tonymess]

They came for the judges
And I did not speak out.
Because I was not a judge.
