All new On Democracy podcast tonight with @krisgoldsmith85.bsky.social on the outrageous failures of leadership of Pete Hegseth and the Trump Administration as they send our sons and daughters to war with no thought of the consequences. Catch us live at 7pm ET on @meidastouch.com

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

This is the big news in one of the most overlooked districts in the country. My opponent, Ann Wagner, TRIPLED her net worth in office. And hasn’t held a single town hall or voted once to stop Trump. I’m a veteran, dad, and social entrepreneur running to defeat her in this must-win swing district.

While Missourians are worried about paying for Christmas and their skyrocketing energy and health insurance costs, Ann Wagner is working hard to help corporations avoid outside watchdogs and advisors for investors. She can’t be bothered to help the people that elected her. @wellmanformo.bsky.social

Katie generously offered to donate proceeds from the evening to the campaign and it was an honor to talk to everyone about why we need hope in this moment and how we turn it into action. We’re not done yet! @wellmanformo.bsky.social

All new ‘On Democracy with FPWellman’ coming up at 7pm ET exclusively on @meidastouch.com with Texas Rep. Gina Hinojosa on the outrageous district rigging by the states Republicans for Donald Trump. Splitting her city into 5 pieces! Catch it tonight! @ginaforaustin.bsky.social

It’s time for a new rep in Washington DC and I’m ready to go. There is so much that needs to be done for MO-2 and I’m going to work hard on day one. More from my great conversation with Sarah Fenske on STL Magazine’s 314 Podcast. Check it out now! @wellmanformo.bsky.social @stlmag.bsky.social

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

The affordability crisis isn’t a “con job” or the price of eggs. It’s a whole of economy disaster for working Americans. Ann Wagner has ignored it for 13 years while increasing her own wealth to over $26 million. We need leaders willing to do hard things. wellmanformo.bsky.social #TeamWellman

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)

The debate over modernizing the military shouldn't be about choosing between technology or land forces. Gutting one to fund the other is how you end up with an incomplete strategy. (Members Only) Listen here: warontherocks.com/ep...

🚨The Pentagon is asking for another $1,500,000,000,000 in taxpayer dollars. The Air Force is asking for $338,800,000,000 — a $92,500,000,000 budget increase. These are big numbers, but they will never become abstractions to me. Public trust depends on clean audits.

there's also this absolutely horrendous non-pony-related one earlier that got an audible "oh get fucked" out of me.

The authoritarian, violent, and anti-science actions of the Trump admin over the past week show clear contempt for democracy and the public good, endangering people in the US and around the world. Congress must uphold its constitutional responsibility and hold the administration accountable.
