Today:

Congressman Mark Alford
[May 28, 2025]
Great to be with local leaders today at the UMKC R1 Research Designation celebration event.
UMKC reaching the premier R1 research status is an excellent accomplishment for our region.
In particular, this helps with national security and defense research–something we’re always fighting for in D.C.!
[….]

Uh, correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t believe the University of Missouri-Kansas City is located in the 4th Congressional District.

Some of the responses to Mark Alford (r):

How did pardoning the J6 defendants help national security?

“L’État, c’est moi!”

This is a great accomplishment for UMKC! Let’s hope Trump doesn’t strip their funding.

if they avoid doing communist tendencies, they should be fine.

We rest our case.

And Alford attended an out-of-district University event why?

Because there are no universities in his district? Oh, wait….

#TacoTrump

Heh.

Trump lost again in court, this time it was on tariffs. [….]

How many millions of dollars of research funding has Trump cut from Missouri universities?
Since when is UMKC in YOUR district??

if people from outside of district 4 can TROLL all of Mr Alford’s posts then he might as well visit places that are outside of his district….

We’re pretty certain that’s not an argument that works the way you think it works.

How’s the destruction of the entire national research system by Trump working out? Or is he only attacking the blue state universities?

Too bad all the grant $$ for research is being pulled by the orange felon.

Check out what Alford’s support of the Big Beautiful Bill does to his district. He doesn’t care about his constituents, only billionaires. Funny, there’s no billionaires in his district. [….]

Where there tacos for lunch?

We see what you did there.

Will you be defunding them the same way you’re defunding the VA, the CDC, the EPA, the CFPB, OSHA, the FAA…

Cutting NIH, FEMA, USDA, DofED… you name it.
Especially RESEARCH.
Northwestern, Harvard…
Wash U in StL MO was hit extremely hard.

Million $$$ directly to Trump for pardons. $5 million and Trump gives you citizenship. He’s making corporations pay protection money with threats. Is this the United States of America, Congressman Mark Alford. How do you condone these acts?

I wish my job consisted of just posting pictures. What a sweet life taking advantage of the system he calls corrupt

Congressman Mark Alford a/k/a Cockwomble – just in case you forgot what your nickname meant! I LOVE your bosses new Wallstreet name, “TACO”. [….]

Mr. Alford, when will you have a real, in-person, town hall, instead of another meet and greet, or a rigged, virtual town halls where you get to pick who attends and what questions you’ll answer? Where you have to listen to your constituents instead of just talking at them to tell them your party’s line?

The only thing you’re fighting for is Der Fuhrers Fatass

Congressman Mark Alford do you think pretending that you didn’t vote to cut Medicaid from millions of people while voting to give most of the tax cut to billionaires will help you avoid being held accountable. Your thinking is so fucking wrong. You should have only given tax cuts to working people like me.

This is not your district FUCK HEAD

Apparently not.
