I’m running for Congress in Missouri’s 3rd District to defeat Blaine Luetkemeyer. I’m an environmental chemist with experience in manufacturing, agribusiness, and technology. I believe in working together to enact positive change that builds everyone up. I’m fundraising (1/2)

1. I've been noticing GOP account posts in my timeline that when I look to see who I'm following who liked or retweeted it the Tweet says something like, "You might like this." It raises three issues. First, if the GOP is paying for the amplification we should see the expense in

Six Amazon workers were killed when a tornado collapsed a warehouse roof. , , and I asked Amazon how they’d improve safety. And we got an appalling answer. So it’s clear: it’s time for Congress and regulators to step in.

In case anyone in the #MOLEG wonders if filing anti-LGBTQ bills has an impact, here's a message from my fiancé that I just had to answer as his Alderman, and as the man he wants to spend the rest of his life with. Do you know how gut wrenching it is, Republicans? No. You don't.

If the AP is correct that the same sort of spy balloon event happened under Trump and it was kept low key if not secret, that raises a whole bunch of questions about why it's a circus this time and who benefits from that.

The Ethiopian Eunuch of Acts 8 is no accident. It is proof that God unequivocally affirms & includes both ETHNIC OUTSIDERS and QUEER INDIVIDUALS in his Kingdom. As such, the Church must now elevate the new command “Love Your Neighbor” above old Scripture texts/laws that do not.

I am overjoyed to announce the arrival of Champ William last night. Labor wasn’t a blast for me, but we’re thankful for a safe arrival & a healthy little one. He was born while Bob Marley & the Wailers sang “Redemption Song” in the delivery room with us. Happy Freedom Day, indeed

Asshole who quoted Hilter last night suddenly wants to protect gas ovens. Pretty on-brand for his type of fascism. Unfortunately, he’s not nuts, just deliberate, power hungry, and dangerous.

The relative silence from other groups re: AP African American Studies mess is quite... loud. Imagine a state trying to formally wipe Jewish history, Asian American history, or other marginalized groups from AP curricula. If they come for us, they can come for yall, too.

Trans kids are playing the role for them that the Romani and people with disabilities played for the Nazis, and it destroys the hearts and souls of both abusers and victims, though the members of one side are too stupid to see it.

The amount of foolishness we’re hearing in this tax cmte about bills to get rid of the state corp tax is mind blowing. The truth is this would be a billion dollar corp giveaway that does nothing for small biz or regular people. Taking more $ from schools, infrastructure, etc.

So, Caleb Browden lied?
Quote Tweet
Saying his office was 'inundated' with complaints, @calebrowden turned a local controversy over a drag performance at a diversity breakfast into a state issue, but a #SunshineLaw request shows no official communication until after his tweet #moleg #mogov missouriindependent.com/2023/01/31/mis

People are really dunking on Hawley for not knowing Joe’s is actually in Kansas, not Missouri… But in fairness, he only makes it to Chiefs games when he can snag a luxury box and taxpayer-funded chauffeur.

So @JDVance1 - my @Chiefs are playing your @Bengals today, on our way to the Super Bowl. Friendly wager? I’ll bet you some Joe’s KC brisket that the Chiefs win

To only say Tyre Nichols should be alive today would be wholly inadequate. There is no word that more accurately describes what happened than murder. Cautious statements of empathy from politicians won't be enough. We need the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act to become law.

"ACTIVISTS ARE CALLING US TRANSPHOBES FOR BUYING HARRY POTTER! IM NOT A BAD PERSON; I JUST WANNA PLAY A WIZARD GAME." Buying HP stuff doesn't make you a transphobe. What IT IS saying is that you care more for entertainment than trans people. It says you're not an ally.

Yes, Missouri is a place where grown men will try to crush the spirit of little girls who want to play sports. But even more, #MyMO is a state where awesome people will drive for hours (& stand well into the night) to fight back & to show those kids they are loved and supported.

Outrageous. Why was a Florida lobbyist allowed to testify, and not Missouri residents?
Quote Tweet
Today, I should have felt our democracy at work in the MO capital. Instead we were silenced and reminded we aren’t a priority. The Senate Committee refused to allow over 20 of us to testify opposing #SB42 MO citizens drove hrs to be here, instead time was wasted on a FL lobbyist
