Here we are in another Republican government shutdown and my Rep is home doing photo ops instead of in D.C. trying to help working Americans. I didn't think I'd have to run to the trumpets again but I am. I'm running for Congress because I'm not done yet and neither are we. (1/2)

ALERT: For third time, US Supreme Court blocks the GOP gerrymandered Congressional map in Missouri
The brief ruling seems to dunk on the attempts by state GOP to press ahead with the redrawn map

Good.
I’m glad to see the Supreme Court affirming that voters should pick their representatives, not the other way around.
US Supreme Court order on Missouri: "In short, as a matter of state law, the 2022 map—not the 2025 map—must be used in the 2026 congressional election."

"Court’s precedents have not previously stated that Article I, Section 2 requires a state to use the primary election map in a general election..given that the equities heavily favor staying this late-breaking intervention, it suffices that the merits are not entirely clearcut."
BREAKING: For a third time, the U.S. Supreme Court rules that the 2022 map be used in Missouri's 2026 congressional elections.

Ann Wagner has been in office nearly 14 years. She hasn’t defended her record as a member of Congress this entire election. She has attacked me. She has lied about how she has helped “middle class families.” She has said she’s just getting started. She has never held a town hall. She hasn’t debated. She has enriched herself to $26 million in her portfolio. It’s the only metric that has improved under her long “public service.” Enough is enough.

I’m a kid from Kirkwood who went to West Point, served in the Army 22-years including 4 combat tours. I founded a firm to connect veterans with services. I ran a COVID field hospital. I came home for my family and now I’m running for Congress because regular working people need someone in DC that has struggled and kept fighting.

The chief Justice of the Missouri Supreme Court, asked the lawyers gathered at The Missouri Bar’s annual conference to stand and repeat their oaths. Then he gave a full-throated defense of the independent judiciary. Link to my column in comments.

You wouldn’t know because you don’t talk to normal voters. Over 5,000 days in office with 0 public town halls.
Thank you to our Franklin County Central Committee for hosting an incredible event tonight. Republicans are fired up to get to the polls and vote for strong, conservative leadership. We are working every day with our grassroots activists to get out the vote and win up and down the ballot!

Trump disapproval officially hit 60% on average for the first time. This has never happened before, not even in the immediate aftermath of J6.

Just a little throwback.
Turns out the “rocket scientist” thing wasn’t metaphorical. 🚀
