Asked Sen. Gallego about the NYT Peltola story on staff mistreatment, who tells reporters: “when I was 25, I had a really bad boss. He made me run across an open fucking field of raking machine gun fire to breach a door. So, yeah, life's tough sometimes”

Meet Christian Ehrhardt.
You probably haven't heard his name.
But if you care about refugees, immigration, or what happens to people the U.S. deports to countries they've never lived in, you should know who he is.

No idea how often I was sued but I rarely lost and I was never held in contempt of court.
While students noted it seems like he gets sued a lot, Secretary Hoskins pointed out on average, he’s actually been sued less than past Secretaries of State Ashcroft, Kander and Carnahan.

I’m a Mizzou fan. But I went to school out east and came home. Diana taught there though while we lived in CoMO for the 4 years I was SoS. Honestly prior to that I was only a marginal fan but 4 years in CoMO radicalized me 😂

Raise your hand if today feels like the 25th anniversary of the day your childhood totally ended.
It’s just a strange anniversary.
Personally, I was a college student in DC who decided that day I would join the military and volunteer to go to war.

Congratulations to Secretary Hoskins on having avoided being detained for contempt by the Missouri Supreme Court by deciding to do his job and follow the law.
Always good to see a fellow Missouri Secretary of State succeed!

Not to be lost in the gerrymandering hubbub: Amendment 6, which will protect the citizen initiative process, and was placed on ballot by Missouri Supreme Court, was just endorsed by former Sen. Jack Danforth (R) and former Secretary of State @JasonKander (D).

I cannot imagine wanting to be Secretary of State so you can subvert and rig rather than protect democracy. Makes no sense to me.
But I also can’t imagine being quite this cool!
You buy a jacket like that, I bet you get a free bowl of soup. Looks good on him though.

🔴 Kavanaugh denies Missouri’s bid to use its new 7R 1D congressional map in 2026. The 6R 2D map stays.

73% of Americans support letting Afghan mission partners stay in the United States while their cases are processed.
Not a plurality. Not a partisan split. Nearly 3/4 voters.
Congress can pass this bill. The only question is whether it will.

Any Iraq/AFG Memorial in DC needs to incorporate a statue of this
Among the most unforgettable images of the Iraq War is the photo of 1st Sgt. Brad Kasal being helped from Fallujah’s “Hell House” by LCpl Chris Marquez and LCpl Dane Shaffer on November 13, 2004, during the Second Battle of Fallujah.
Blood soaked and still clutching his 9mm Beretta, Kasal became a lasting emblem of sacrifice and the bond between Marines. Inside the house, he had been shot by insurgents 7 times and hit with shrapnel from a grenade blast after he threw himself over a wounded Marine. Gravely wounded and bleeding heavily, he still refused to be pulled out until the rest of his men were accounted for.
Those actions earned 1st Sgt. Brad Kasal the Navy Cross. The picture, and what he did that day, stand as a clear expression of the Marine Corps ethos: courage under fire, loyalty to one another, and the refusal to leave a fellow warrior behind.
