I am honestly pissed at what Washington has become. The Republican Party’s sold out working families to billionaires & special interests. D.C. Democrats are out of touch & unwilling to confront the scale of the suffering people are enduring.

Are you mad as hell and won't take it anymore? Ready for change? We're holding a Take Back Missouri Rally tomorrow night in Kirkwood with special guests Rep. Ray Reed, Rep. Mark Boyko, Don Looney, Rep. Jaclyn Zimmerman, and former Senator Jill Schupp to kick off the run to the midterms with fire!

She was not letting us leave town without stopping by for a cup of coffee and the finest home made pies in Franklin County. Not gonna lie…she was not wrong. Took half home with me but worth the extra mile of walking today! Don’t miss this tradition in beautiful downtown Washington!

I joined the 4 Rivers Progressive Coalition at their monthly meeting in Washington on Saturday. My campaign manager, Ellie Hayes, grew up in Union and lived in Washington for many years. She was deeply offended that I was considering not stopping at Cowan’s ‘Home of the Mile High Pie’ for a slice.

This is what happens when Republicans are given the task of governing. Chaos, economic collapse, and suffering.

Ann Wagner hasn’t even bothered to do a photo op as hundreds of thousands of Missourians lose their SNAP benefits. We are community. We’re not done yet. Let’s go! #TeamWellman #STLouis #Missouri #MO2 #fooddrive

We were joined by an incredible coalition of candidates, legislators, partners and over 30 volunteers. Our partners collected signatures for all five ballot initiatives too. This is how we win. This is how we show what Missouri Democrats stand for.

We collected 4,368 pounds of food in two hours for Circle of Concern Food Pantry today at UFCW 655 Local from incredibly generous and caring Missourians. Our @wellmanformo.bsky.social team put this together in four days to help our neighbors.

Wealthy politicians are ready to let SNAP benefits stop, leaving 650K Missourians wondering where their next meal will come from. So, when DC turns its back, Missourians step up. Join my team & our incredible partners tomorrow for an emergency food drive in support of Circle of Concern Food Pantry!

We are going to take care of our neighbors here in Missouri. I’m running for Congress because we aren’t being represented. So, this Saturday @WellmanForMO is hosting an Emergency Food Drive Thru at UFCW 655 Local in Ballwin for Circle of Concern Food Pantry. #TeamWellman #StLouis #Missouri #MO2

Missouri will not cover SNAP benefits when the Trump Admin cuts them off Nov 1st. We're hosting an Emergency Food Drive this Saturday in Ballwin. If you're in the MO-2 region come drop off food for our neighbors and 'Fill the Food Pantry with Fred!' @wellmanformo.bsky.social

Democrats have learned that the Republicans won’t keep any deals they make and Trump will do whatever he wants. They aren’t falling for the lies anymore. Delaware Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester joined me for this week’s On Democracy on @meidastouch.com

An amazing afternoon in Ballwin with thousands of fellow Missourians for No Kings Day in pouring rain and lightning. So many friendly faces joyously protesting their government. Let’s take this energy into the election and take back MO-2! Follow @wellmanformo.bsky.social #TeamWellman #mo2 #nokings

They dismantled the one agency that was focused exclusively on helping average Americans being abused by banks and fraudulent lenders. It was their first priority. I had a great chat with former director of CFPB Director @choprausa.bsky.social on On Democracy on @MeidasTouch this week. (1/2)

My opponent Ann Wagner is busily posting away on her social media about the "far left radical agenda"...of wanting affordable healthcare. At least 21,500 citizens of MO-2 are going to lose their healthcare and probably more from lack of affordable options. She doesn't care. #TeamWellman

Republicans are desperate to label peaceful and patriotic protests as anti-American. There is nothing more American than a joyous gathering of people peacefully telling their government they disagree. Our team is fanning out across CD-2. Join us. Bring your flag. @WellmanForMO #TeamWellman

This is wrong on every level. It’s a rigorous process that can take years. Just because a small number of rotten people faked being blind or paralyzed doesn’t mean the system should be gutted or over 9 million veterans getting benefits smeared. This is so dam irresponsible of WaPo.

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.

Congress has walked away from their Article I Constitutional duty. They're no longer a coequal branch of government. They've prostrated themselves to Trump. Rep. Jason Crow and I discussed how the Republicans have walked away from their duty. This isn't both sides. Catch it all on @meidastouch.com

I had a great chat today with Rep. Jason Crow about the insanity on Capitol Hill. We are both former Army officers and the cowardice of the silent is as bad as those on the front line. The cynical cowardice like my opponent Ann Wagner who hide from the spotlight but compliantly go along with it all.
