Ann Wagner can't hide from the truth

Image
  Ann Wagner can’t use a gerrymander to escape her economic record.   Inflation is outpacing wages for the first time in three years. Gas prices are at a four-year high.   It shouldn’t take working families multiple full-time jobs and sacrifices just to make ends meet in America.   Yet “Hands off Ann” is choosing to stay silent while her decisions hurt Missouri families.   During my time in the Army, I learned to be transparent and accountable to the people I serve. The spineless, corrupt politicians like Ann Wagner who rubber-stamped Trump’s failed economic agenda don’t want to face such accountability.   So they’re now redrawing states like ours to ensure they can hold a permanent House majority and  silence   your voice . They think that friendlier districts can shield them from the damage they have caused.   But friendly districts can’t save Ann.   We’re running a grassroots campaign never before seen in Missouri’s Second Congression...

Morning Digest: Why a last-minute bailout in Missouri won't lead to ballot shenanigans

  I know it’s hard to be shocked these days, but  these new remarks  from FCC Chair Brendan Carr at the top annual conference for conservatives really chilled me: President Trump took on the fake news media, and President Trump is winning. Look at the results so far. PBS defunded. NPR defunded. Joy Reid, gone from MSNBC. Sleepy-Eyed Chuck Todd, gone. Jim Acosta, gone. John Dickerson, gone. Colbert is leaving. CBS is under new ownership, and soon enough, CNN is going to have new ownership as well. It’s one thing to know that the Trump administration sees it as entirely acceptable to use the power of the federal government to attack and even reshape the media landscape. It’s quite another to hear it spoken so bluntly, so shamelessly, so  triumphantly  by the man supposedly tasked with facilitating telecommunications fairly. There will be consequences one day for this dictatorial assault on our freedom of speech, but if we’re going to reach that day, we need to do ...

AIPAC’s Super PAC dropped $4.2 million against Cori

Image
  AIPAC’s Super PAC is rapidly increasing its spending against progressive incumbent Rep. Cori Bush in Missouri’s 1st congressional district. United Democracy Project has dropped over $4.2 million in ads attacking Cori and backing their hand-picked challenger —  but we’re fighting back. Justice Democrats and the progressive cavalry have launched our own ads in MO-01 to get out the vote for Cori and reveal her opponent’s ties to corporate and Republican megadonors. Our first 2024 TV ads in the district just launched yesterday!  Help us keep them on the air until the Democratic primary election on August 6th → While we’re doing everything we can to drum up support for Cori in these final weeks before her competitive primary, it’s clear that her opponent and AIPAC’s Super PAC are outspending us… by a lot. Cori and Justice Democrats don’t take a dime from corporate PACs , while Wesley Bell is being propped up by the same millionaires and billionaires donating to Donald Trump....
