This should terrify everyone. Missouri’s Attorney General has been using the court system to gain access to the private, personal medical records of MO citizens-including minors.

Nothing is off limits with the Republican Party. Absolutely nothing. Vote and donate accordingly.

Missouri Republicans banned abortion with no exception for victims of rape. Then they said IVF should be illegal. Then they cut funding for birth control for women on Medicaid. Now, they want to make it harder to amend the constitution. We have to ask, are you Feelin’ Free yet?

“The Farm Bureau would be permitted to deny people coverage due to pre-existing medical conditions”

If you want healthcare coverage in this state you should probably go ahead and just make a hellofa lot more money.
OR
Vote blue.

Jess Piper is such an inspiring person and made us proud to be rural Democrats. Thank you for reminding us that Kansas isn't a red state, just an uncontested one. Time to change that 💪

Come back to Southeast Kansas anytime, Jess!!

It should be noted that Republicans have done this on purpose. This is not an accident. Their goal is to destroy public education in this country and funnel more money into private schools so they can enrich themselves and keep everyone else poor and uneducated.

If this representative only knew how close he is to the truth.

Missouri schools are funded inequitably according to our zip codes. We need fully funded, equitably funded public schools, but he’s advocating for a voucher scheme and more defunding of public schools.

*If it’s not any better than this year, I think our rural schools will cave,” she said. “I think that’s probably the purpose—that if we have less schools, then the monies can go to privates and charters.* Incredible reporting from Oklahoma kfor.com/news/local/she…

Arizona Republicans had a chance to save the lives of Arizona women yesterday and they blocked it.

Report what they do, not what they say

I spoke to a large crowd in Cherokee County, Kansas.

These folks are fired up to make changes in their state. I love their fire!

New: Missouri Senate passes bill to end child marriage in the state.

Republican Sen. Mike Moon was the lone “no” vote. Today’s vote came exactly one year after Moon made comments in a hearing defending children as young as 12 getting married.

This week, Senate Democrats filed legislation to protect IVF treatments in Missouri. Also this week, Senate Republicans said women who freeze embryos are “reckless” and it should be a crime to freeze IVF embryos. Take a minute to hear the Republicans’ plan for IVF parents:

When elementary schools in Jackson, MO in SEMO are closing due to lack of money, it sends chills through those in small rural communities in SEMO. Schools are the heart of rural communities. Fully fund public schools now.

This is exactly what Jack Schneider & I warned about earlier this year in The Nation. A reckoning is about to happen in all of the states that are now spending big $$ on private school voucher programs thenation.com/article/societ…

Officials believe the new rule will impact more than 20,000 dealers who have gotten away with selling firearms without a license and performing background checks at places like gun shows and over the internet. tinyurl.com/fz267bfh

I just heard that Missouri has collected enough signatures to put the minimum wage question on the ballot.

Up Next? We’ll gather enough signatures to put abortion rights on the ballot.

And guess what? We’ll win both. 🎉

In a state like Missouri, with contraceptive rights being on the ballot in the fall, I think it’s important that we’re holding votes like this, trying to hold these folks accountable and making them say the quiet part out loud.
