Nancy Pelosi did not call Trump an insulting name like he does to people. She didn’t say he was a fat slob. She used the correct medical term to describe his weight, which does increase his health risks. It’s not her fault the truth hurts his ego. #morbidlyobese

Hey Muslim public school teachers, Bring your prayer rugs and hijabs to the next football game. Line up for prayer on the 50-yard line. Supreme Court is totally cool with it.

SCOTUS sides with a high school football coach in a First Amendment case about prayer at the 50-yard-line. In a 6-3 ruling, SCOTUS says the public school district violated the coach's free speech and free exercise rights when it barred him from praying on the field after games.

I have an 8 am flt to go back to #stl . My dad woke me up at 530 am, so we can be out the door by 6 am. The airport is 15 mins away. My mom woke up to make me breakfast & tea. She offered to make a sandwich for the flt. I’m in my 40s. Parents never stop parenting, do they.

In at least half US states, a puppy must be 8 wks before you can separate from its mother. American mothers at companies w fewer than 50 workers have no legal right to maternity leave - paid or unpaid. We will separate a mother from her newborn sooner than a dog from her pup.

Dr. Faisal Khan is a respected public health official and a friend. He's doing his best to save people's lives. Those who showed up to shout racist slurs at him are ingrates and an embarrassment to the entire region. Shame on you. #covid #delta #Missouri

Missouri Gov. Mike Parson pardoned the gun-toting McCloskey couple who pointed firearms at protestors, but he refused to pardon Kevin Strickland, who has served 42 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit. Today, Strickland was exonerated by a judge. Shame on you, Mike.

Earlier this year, I signed SB 53, which created a judicial procedure for prosecuting attorneys to use, in cases like this one, where the prosecutor believes that there was a miscarriage of justice and a wrongful conviction was entered.

An openly compromised justice sits on America’s Supreme Court deciding life or death matters for all Americans. The man whose decision ended a fundamental right for women has been financially benefiting from a right-wing donor for decades. Clarence Thomas is a fraud.

Clarence Thomas’s mother is not paying rent, taxes, or insurance on the house Harlan Crow purchased from them. A billionaire sugar daddy financing the life of a Supreme Court justice and his family.

I am generally opposed to inflatable holiday decor on aesthetic grounds, but it was kind of delightful to see these Ramadan Kareem and mosque lawn decorations in my lil corner of Missouri. Islam meets American kitsch.

#MyNameIs Aisha, named after the early Islamic leader and warrior. A white male teacher called me “Lisa” all year bc he acted like my name was too hard for him. Men like Sen. Perdue who mocked Kamala Harris’s name don’t belong in public office. Send a message. #iWillVote

Kansas—a state that Trump won by 15 points 56-41 just 2 years ago—just voted to protect abortion access by a landslide 26 points, 63-37. That's how detached the GOP is from what Americans want. Vote Them All Out.
