Spoiler alert: The answer is "No."

We need an Attorney General who accepts that we have a problem in Missouri and actually does something about it.

1/5
That means:
1) Enforcing the Sunshine Law so the public can see what our government is doing and then hold it accountable;

2) Actually visiting with community members and law enforcement officers - not just for photo ops - and pinpointing where resources need to go;

2/5
3) Advocating for increased support for Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) and deescalation training;

4) Addressing violence reduction, poverty, and the root causes of inequity from the statewide level;

3/5
5) Protecting people's civil rights and taking on government systems that misuse taxpayer money and violate the United States and Missouri Constitutions.

4/5
Our liberty as Missourians is at stake. It's essential for us to have an Attorney General who understands the urgency of this moment instead of letting this issue worsen for another year.

It's essential we get a new Attorney General.

I need your help.

We need to raise $2,000 to put out a video we’ve been working on for a while. It’s going to be BIG, but only if you help.

We’re also 200 donations of any amount away from setting another record!

That’s an average donation of just $10.

We can have an Attorney General who works for us and holds the rest of our government accountable.

With your donation, you’re investing in:

🏛The most experienced candidate for Attorney General;
🔎 One of the nation’s lead anti-corruption investigators;
📋 The biggest grassroots campaign for Missouri Attorney General ever, and one that pays a living wage;
💡 Comprehensive, community-led proposals to prosecute corruption, protect health care, fight scammers, reduce violence, uphold civil rights, and reform our justice system;

I filed an application with the Missouri Supreme Court to review the case Elad Gross v. A New Missouri, Inc.

I sued over a year ago to provide transparency to the public when it comes to dark money organizations buying our elections and violating our constitution.
The people who wrote Missouri's law agree with me: The public has a right to transparency.

So far, the courts have not, but I am hoping the Missouri Supreme Court grants review and restores the people's rights to hold these fake charities accountable.
I shouldn't have to litigate this case. Our Attorney General should be. But he's not interested in transparency.

So instead, I've had to spend a lot of time and money doing his job, including another $70+ today.

Mr. Toby got hit by a car yesterday.

He took the full impact on his left side and broke the bumper. It looked like the end for him, but he has decided to live forever.
Dr. Geisman picked up late and told us to check Mr. Toby's gums. Discoloration means internal bleeding.

My vet deals with a lot of service dogs. He taught me how to bandage a dog once. That ended up saving Toby's life once when he went through a window to say hi to a neighbor.
Despite being hit by a car, Mr. Toby seemed fine.

Thanks to my family, I made it to Festus for a campaign talk about workplace protections before getting back home and doing one of Mr. Toby's favorite things: Installing a working printer. He really enjoys peeing on them.

Impeachment Inquiry Is Legal, Judge Rules, Giving DEMs a Victory

Judge orders the DOJ to hand over secret GJ evidence from the Mueller inv’n to the HJC by 10/30.

The committee's need for disclosure of the materials "is greater than the need for continued secrecy.”

THE GOP IS GETTING DESPERATE . . .

The silence is stunning.

No senator is saying:

📌Openly that Trump’s conduct is not impeachable.

📌The witnesses lack credibility.

📌It is perfectly appropriate for the president to use his powers to aid his campaign effort
🌳Victory3🌳

Cummings remembered as 'fierce champion' & as a “fierce champion of truth, justice & kindness”

“Like the prophet, our Elijah could call down fire from heaven.

But he also prayed & worked for healing.

He weathered storms & earthquakes but never lost his faith.”

(Thread): I've spent quite some time looking at last summer of Trump's Presidential life.

I am CONVINCED that he will be gone by October 1st.

2. Impeachment IS coming, regardless of what anyone in House Leadership says. Pelosi's ppl probably strategizing day in/day out about what to do, and more importantly, how to sway Public Opinion so that more people support Impeachment.

If we do it too early, it will backfire.
3. Too late and we start affecting the election. Pelosi is also trying to play chicken with McConnell - One of the most brilliant/evil strategic minds in American congressional history.

I think we're waiting on the hearings next week, and more vote to hold ppl in contempt.

1. I am currently under media assault, via an aggressive election ad campaign by @HawleyMO. With every click, up pops an ad or vid w/deep sinister voice warning me who NOT to vote for. (unroll) #mogop #mosen #mogov #moleg
2) In my 30 year voting experience, I have never changed my mind on a candidate in response to a political ad. No matter the candidate, I mute, switch or otherwise override the incoming propaganda. #mogov #mogop #mosen #moleg
3) Yet, @HawleyMO Hawley has been holding nearly every YouTube video I attempt to watch hostage. His odious toned propaganda is everywhere across media platforms in what appears to be a very $$$ ad campaign. #mogop #mosen #mogov #moleg

Thread. "Kris Kobach, Kansas’s top election official, recently declared victory in the highly publicized Republican gubernatorial primary in Kansas, surpassing his opponent (sitting Gov. Jeff Colyer) by about 300 votes." via @tytinvestigates tytnetwork.com/2018/08/17/kob… 1/
2/ "At 9 p.m. on August 7, election day, with 10 of Johnson County’s precincts reporting (and just one other, smaller county left to report), Colyer led Kobach by 44 votes in the state and by 13 percent in the county."
3/ "But at 9:07 p.m., a reporter for the Kansas City Star posted that Johnson County would not display further results for at least two hours due to a 'computer glitch.'"
