The definition of insanity: Missouri lawmakers represent themselves and ignore the votes of their constituents and then Missouri constituents continue to vote them back into office anyway. #lifeinaredstate

We fight on all fronts.

Republicans are trying to pass another resolution blaming the country’s problems on gay and transgender kids and drag shows.

To distract from measles outbreaks, rising costs, and the stock market crash.

I’m on the Senate floor now to stop it.

When asked if he was going to visit the crash site he said, ‘what site? The water? You want me to go swimming?’ This is one of the last pics of the young skaters who died. He’s a sociopath. Anyone who voted for this monster should be ashamed at best.

My parents instilled a very strong sense of the importance of family. I wish they had taught me to be more self confident and sure of myself. I still have to work at that, even today.
