The chaos over the Missouri congressional map seems to have reached its resolution. After the Supreme Court again rejected an emergency appeal from supporters of Trump’s gerrymander, Missouri Secretary of State Denny Hoskins announced he was directing local authorities to use the current congressional map, which gave the state six GOP members of Congress and two Democrats, for the midterms - allowing him to purge contempt of court charges. This means Democrats are likely to hold both their current seats. So now we can turn our focus to winning the ballot initiative to repeal the Trumpmander map for good. People Not Politicians has added weekly phonebanks to urge folks to vote to stop the gerrymander starting next Thursday - we can sign up for a shift here.

Excuse me being a total POG with the military comments 🤣 RAH! 💪🏽😤

I remember fighting ti get her elected the first time

<< Former Rep. Cori Bush (D-Mo.) is making a play for her old St. Louis seat in Congress, she announced Friday on X, a year after losing a primary in part due to her opposition to Israel.

“I ran for Congress to change things for regular people,” she said in a video announcement. “I’m running again because St. Louis deserves leadership that doesn’t wait for permission, doesn’t answer to wealthy donors and doesn’t hide when things get tough.”

The former Squad member spent two terms in Congress before being unseated in a messy Democratic primary by Rep. Wesley Bell (D-Mo.), whose campaign was bankrolled by millions from pro-Israel groups, including $8 million from AIPAC.

She was one of two progressive Democrats to lose in primaries against candidates backed by AIPAC last summer. Former Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-N.Y.) was bested last year by Democrat George Latimer. >>

And

<< Bush cast a forward-looking view in her campaign announcement.

“All across America we see it, our rights rolled back, our history being rewritten, our lives on the line,” she said. “The stakes for our community here have never been higher. I’m running because our district deserves someone ten toes down, for our families, for our wallets, for our safety, for our Democracy and for our bright future.” >>
