ICE murdered a family’s dog & lied about it.
Agents raided a home on a bad tip, shot a dog named Chop, & let him bleed out while they hid. DHS covered it up. Congress stayed silent.
This is what happens when no one’s watching the watchers. I’m done with the silence.

The Trump administration wants to rewrite the rules for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) in a way that will make it HARDER for older disabled workers to get benefits. We are pushing back.

The 7,000 Social Security Administration workers that Trump & DOGE forced out are never coming back. Those losses have made it harder for the agency to serve its customers. federalnewsnetwork.com/it-moderniza... #SSA @federalnewsnetwork.com #federalworkers #SocialSecurity #trump #DOGE

We want to make a few things clear. Thanks to everyday Missourians, our campaign to overturn politicians’ gerrymandered maps is off to an incredible start. And that scares politicians who want to hold on to power at the expense of all Missourians.

Mark Alford’s mob-boss politics are hurting Missouri families. While he plays bully in D.C., rural towns are paying the price. Missouri deserves leadership, not intimidation.

Mark Alford Tries to Bully Missouri into Silence

Mark Alford’s “nothing to negotiate” attitude isn’t leadership — it’s mob-boss politics. While Missouri families struggle, he plays power games. It’s time for real leadership that values people over ego.
