Act for Missouri
Act for Missouri@ActforMissouri·
National Security or National Risk? We’re told we must support massive data center build-outs in Missouri because they are "critical for national security" and the "AI arms race". But look at what’s actually happening in Independence. During this week's Utilities Committee hearing, it was revealed that a massive new AI data center project is owned by a Russian Billionaire, Arkady Volozh. While local residents are being asked to provide massive tax abatements and hand over our energy resources, the profits and control of that data are tied to a founder of the Russian tech giant Yandex. How does it protect American interests to subsidize an "AI factory" for a Russian oligarch’s company? #moleg #actformissouri

I saw this video on Viola Davis' instagram this morning and everyone needs to see it. The gutting of the VRA is the most significant attack on ALL civil rights in America in my lifetime, and after they already came for the women.. We better wake the fuck up. None of us is safe:

UnitedHealthcare has had a denial rate of 33%. Cigna is currently at 21%. Medicare is 8.4%.
TaylorStreet@TaylorStreet312

@fuckyouiquit Love and support medicare for all, but that will come with a LOT of denial of treatment, too. But more effective and cheaper and more just, for sure.

The fact that almost EVERY former confederate state is moving to completely eliminate Black representatives almost immediately after the SCOTUS decision should be more than enough proof that voting rights still need protection and racism is far from gone in this country.

The Voting Rights Act was built on an assumption by its authors (primarily Abe Fortas and Nicholas Katzenbach) that the South would only act in racist ways if allowed to and so had to be stopped from doing so at all times forever, and holy shit was that assumption dead on. -OS

Here's what the Utah GOP did: 1. They sued federally to block the new map. 2. They packed the UT Supreme Court, creating two brand new justices 3. They created a brand new “constitutional court” panel that will hear challenges to state law, avoiding the Supreme Court altogether
Bobby Kogan@BBKogan

Trying to imagine how the conservative press would react if Virginia Democrats responded to losing their court case the way Utah Republicans did to losing theirs

some Americans have literally been paying into Social Security for 50, 60 years; & this multi-billionaire from South Africa dismisses Social Security as a mere "entitlement"--not workers' actual pay, deferred. cutting Social Security would be literally--not metaphorically: literally--stealing earned money from American citizens. please let us hope that MAGA gets this news from some source other than Fox; otherwise, MAGA might agree to it without comprehending.
ALUTHEDON@Mbakaza4L

And there it is. Elon Musk just said he wants to cut Social Security and Medicare, calling them “entitlements”: “That’s the big one to eliminate.”

McQuade’s three-word summary is precise. Color blindness is willful blindness. The Roberts court’s theory is that the Constitution cannot see race, and therefore any district drawn with racial data is presumptively unconstitutional. The theory treats historical discrimination as legally irrelevant - as if the specific communities formed by that history, shaped by it, disadvantaged by its persistent effects, are simply the product of government categorization that can be dissolved by declaring the categorization impermissible. Justice Thurgood Marshall warned in a dissent that the court’s practice of manipulating constitutional doctrine under the 14th and 15th Amendments makes it complicit in racial discrimination rather than its remedy. Frederick Douglass made the same argument in 1883 when the court nullified the Civil Rights Act of 1875. Alabama, Tennessee, Mississippi, and Louisiana are already planning special legislative sessions to apply Callais and erase majority-minority districts. The arc from 20 Black House members in 1985 to 43 by 1995 took a constitutional amendment, a unanimous Supreme Court ruling, and a decade of redistributing. The Roberts Court has created the legal tools to reverse that arc in a single election cycle. The amendments meant to secure representation are being used to eliminate it.

The Constitution permits laws based on race when narrowly tailored to achieve a compelling interest, such as political representation. Color blindness is willful blindness. nytimes.com/2026/05/06/opi…

George W. Bush started two wars thar cost $8 trillion, saw another $5 trillion disappear in the mortgage bonds crash of 2007-08, and nuked $20 trillion in potential revenue with his tax cuts. That's $33 trillion of the $38.9 trillion national debt right there. -OS
Lyndon Baines Johnson@lyndonbajohnson

It always was disingenuous bullshit. A way of pointing the finger at the coloreds and the poors for their alleged lives on easy street when the War on Terror cost $8 Trillion to accomplish nothing. In 2026, our national debt is >75% foreign boondoggles. -OS

This settlement legalizes meat price-fixing — it just says you have to bring the giant retailers and distributors in on the game. Get ready for even higher prices for chicken, turkey, and pork.
Acting AG Todd Blanche@DAGToddBlanche

1 – The Department of Justice continues to bring affordability to the American people. Today, we announced a historic settlement with Agri Stats, whose business model directly raised the price of chicken, turkey, and pork in local grocery stores across our nation. 🐔🐖⚖️

How do we know we're in late stage capitalism? Helicopters carrying *SICK CHILDREN* cannot land at Seattle *CHILDRENS HOSPITAL* because the affluent owners of nearby properties don't like the noise. *SICK CHILDREN* have to land a mile away and be transported by ambulance to the hospital, as to not inconvenience the RICH folks The amount of hateful losers on this post blaming "Liberals" for the actions of one of the most conservative neighborhoods in the state is absolutely wild.

The whole point of Trump’s war in Iran seems to have been to manipulate markets for his oligarchs to make money from, to give his family lucrative military contracts, and distract from his involvement in the Epstein files. That’s it.
More Perfect Union@MorePerfectUS

The Department of Justice is now investigating more than $2.6 billion in suspiciously timed oil trades placed right before major Iran war announcements by Donald Trump.
