Had a great walk with my friend & former Mehlville School Board President Kevin Schartner in Cliff Cave Park discussing issues facing South St. Louis County residents. Then I swung by the brand new Tous de Jours bakery in Manchester for their grand opening. Be sure to check it out soon!

Only a government run by billionaires would berate its employees for not wanting to work without pay.

A mother pulled from her car in a school pickup line by masked ICE agents, in front of her child.

What are we doing?

We can’t look away. We can’t let this become normal.

This campaign isn’t just about politics — it’s about who we are.

Republicans are pretending that they don't own this shutdown. But we can negotiate right now and reopen the government. Protect the ACA credits, restore funding to Medicare and Medicaid and stop the nonsense.

It was never about “free health care for illegals.” This is always what it was about. They have no intention of “fixing” the ACA, they intend to defund it.

Imagine if the Republican obsession with colleges was focused on how prohibitively expensive they are for average people.

NEWS: Trump accuses China of launching “hostile” export restrictions on rare earths and threatens massive new tariffs and financial countermeasures from the U.S. in response.

Markets quickly dropped after he made this post.

New CBS polling shows that voters have soured on Trump's handling of economic issues.

60% of voters now disapprove of his overall handling of the economy.

On inflation it's even worse for Trump, with 65% disapproving.

Just 10 days into this campaign, and we've already built an industrial-scale movement across the entire district thanks to the donations of everyday people like you.

We're going to win the seat back from Ann Wagner, and we need your support to do so!

Now Letitia James. If you oppose Trump his minions will prosecute you. This is fascism in America.

We cannot leave families behind during this Republican-led government shutdown.

Proud to help introduce legislation today to protect WIC and ensure states are reimbursed for providing this critical funding for our communities.

Congressman Gabe Amo @amo.house.gov · 4d

🔔New bill to protect women & children from the Republican shutdown 🔔

My new CARE for WIC During a Shutdown Act ensures states have certainty they will receive federal government reimbursement to ensure moms & kids see no disruption to WIC when there is a shutdown.

A friendly reminder on Day 8 of the Republican-led government shutdown: Republicans control the House, the Senate, and the White House. They own this shutdown and all of its consequences.

I agree, a defining moment of our era. What is ICE? This is ICE.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

It’s the silence of the Republican House you need to hear. They aren’t doing anything. No oversight. No work. Trying to blame Democrats for their incompetence. We have voices. Use them peacefully and patriotically to protest your government. They want violence. Don’t give it to them.

If it isn’t bad enough that House Republicans shut down the government rather than protect health care, Trump is slashing Social Security.

❌Plotting to strip disability benefits
❌Distracting the Social Security head with a second important job
❌Making Social Security insolvent sooner
