“…The Eighth Circuit’s application of Purcell was incorrect…” – People Not Politicians v. Onder, U.S. Supreme Court, September 25, 2026

This evening:

Rick Brattin for Congress
[September 25, 2026]

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE SEPTEMBER 25, 2026
Statement from Rick Brattin on U.S. Supreme Court Ruling

(JEFFERSON CITY, MO) – State Senator Rick Brattin has released the following statement about today’s ruling:

“I am grateful to the Eighth Circuit for squarely addressing the merits of this case and stating plainly what common sense and the Constitution require: voters should not choose their nominees under one congressional map and then be forced into entirely different districts for the general election.

Today’s Supreme Court decision is a travesty for Missouri voters and for the integrity of our elections. Missouri will now conduct a congressional primary under one map and a general election under another. Voters who lawfully participated in the August primary will be moved into districts where they had no voice in choosing the nominees who will appear on their ballot in November. This is the most unprecedented form of voter disenfranchisement in American history, and Missouri voters deserve far better.

The responsibility for this chaos rests first and foremost with the Missouri Supreme Court. With the stroke of a pen, it overturned a congressional map passed by the people’s elected legislature and signed by the Governor after that map had already been used to conduct the primary election. The Eighth Circuit recognized the serious constitutional problem that decision created. Missouri voters are now being forced to live with the consequences.

This is part of a dangerous pattern of courts asserting power that belongs to the people and their elected representatives. Judges are not kings, and courts are not legislatures. Our system of government depends upon each branch respecting the constitutional authority of the others. The Missouri Supreme Court abandoned that principle in this case, usurped the authority of Missouri’s duly elected legislative and executive branches, and left Missouri voters paying the price.”

Some of the responses:

Bye Felicia, I mean Rick.

You left this part out where SCOTUS made clear this was Hoskin’s fault.

Our prayers have been answered. It must be God’s will.

We see what you did there.

The MO Constitution allows citizens to challenge through referendum any bills passed by the legislature. Hoskins tried to weasel around this constitutional provision by ignoring the MO Supreme Court. If you are unhappy about what has happened, blame falls on Hoskins.

The supreme court effed us.

Please explain how a U.S. Supreme Court with a 6-3 right wingnut majority which includes three Trump appointees is so totally biased against your interpretation of the Constitution.

Responsibility for this chaos solely rests on Denny “the clown” Hoskins and crew. Glad the Supreme Court did the correct thing.

Rick Brattin for Congress maybe follow the Constitution for once and stop forcing things on the people.
You think this is bad wait till we all organize and get to the breaking point.

I’ll summarize this for everyone: I’m butthurt because we politicians can’t pick our voters instead of them picking us.

That’s it.

Just update your resume playa. It’s fine

If this is really how you interpret this whole process, you shouldn’t be anywhere near the halls of Congress.

You can’t even cheat your way to DC.

Where is your statement responding to the GOP asking for a redo on a candidate cause they want to ditch you?

Solely on Denny Hoskins!

This right wingnut overreach fail has many cooks.

Senator Brattin’s statement gets the facts backwards. The chaos Missouri voters are now facing traces directly to the actions of Secretary of State Denny Hoskins, not the Missouri Supreme Court.
When opponents of the 2025 GOP-drawn map gathered enough signatures to force a referendum, Hoskins waited until the legal deadline to act, then rejected the referendum outright, arguing that redistricting plans aren’t subject to the referendum process at all, a position Missouri courts ultimately did not accept. The Missouri Supreme Court had already ruled in May that qualifying the referendum would suspend the 2025 map, yet the court found Hoskins proceeded with the GOP map in the August primaries anyway, even though it hadn’t been approved by voters.
That’s not a court “overturning” a legislative map with “the stroke of a pen.” It’s a Secretary of State ignoring the plain terms of Article III, Section 52 of the Missouri Constitution, which reserves to the people the power to approve or reject laws passed by the General Assembly through referendum. Hoskins’ office made the call that this constitutional referendum right didn’t apply to redistricting, and the courts said otherwise.
The consequences of that decision escalated further: the Missouri Supreme Court held Hoskins in contempt for failing to comply with its ruling that the 2025 map had to be put on hold while the referendum took place, and he was found in contempt a second time in September for directing local election authorities to use the new map after a court order barred it. Two separate contempt findings against a sitting Secretary of State for defying the state’s highest court is not “judicial overreach.” It’s a public official refusing to follow the law as written in Missouri’s own Constitution.
If Missouri voters are now facing a primary under one map and a general election under another, that is the direct result of Hoskins’s office gambling that it could run out the clock on a valid referendum rather than following the Missouri Constitution’s requirements. The responsibility for this “unprecedented” situation belongs with the Secretary of State who created it, not the court that repeatedly told him to follow the law.

So Rick doesn’t want to have to follow the law. What a pathetic loser.

The people should sue the mo supreme court

Slept through the same civics class with Rick.

A Travesty? Sorry pretty boy. This was a mostly conservative court who voted unanimously. The Travesty is Missouris SS @ AG Trying to go against the will of the people. Come November it will won’t happen again.

Cry more. You guys brought this on yourselves.

Time to update that Indeed.com Resume Rick. You’re gonna have to get a real job like the rest of us 🤷‍♂️

Hey cry baby, play by the rules. The Missouri Supreme Court said you couldn’t use the map until it was voted on by the people of Missouri, but you did it anyway. Now suffer the consequences for your action.

No Rick this only a travesty for all you maga cult followers. You know can’t win now.

Here’s one for you Rick, the legislature listens to the people of Missouri. Period. If you can’t read the constitution you have no business serving in the legislature. You and your party started this mess and lost by your own doing. Thank God for the Missouri Supreme Court and the US Supreme Court. These little side courts need to go back to school.

The redistributed map should have never been done in the first place.

It’s over Rick. You lose.

Wrong. It’s Denny Hoskins fault.
I used to respect you and Hoskins but both of you are an embarassment to our state. Maybe look at this at what can be learned rather than try to shift blame.

Hoskins, Hannaway, and Kehoe purposely created this chaos and ignored the constitution. They tried to disenfranchise voters, wasted tax dollars, and forced an illegal map for political gain at the request of the POTUS. Every single elected official who participated in this stunt needs to be removed from office.

Glad your illegal gerrymandering was defeated.

“travesty” of your own making. 🙄 spare me

And you aren’t the dictator! Now get out and pick up the campaign signs in areas where they do not belong and take a seat in the back of the bus. You and your cronies are no longer driving.

You’ve got this wrong. Responsibility for this debacle rests squarely on governor Kehoe.

Rick, you are as sick as the rest that caused this mess.

What is wrong with you?

Moron, none of this would have been necessary if you and your moron buddies in Jeff City had just done your jobs in the first place. Moron.

Maybe we should have gotten to vote on your map you are so proud of..instead of you and your buddies deciding what we needed

LMAO.
Such a sad story, Trumper. Maybe you should have tried “conservative.” Good luck. Wish I could vote in your district!

cheaters always cheat ricky

The responsibility for this chaos rests first and foremost with SoS Hoskins who ignored the Missouri Constitution and tried unsuccessfully to impost his partisan views into the voting process. His job was NEVER to interpret the Missouri Constitution but to perform his job of certifying the signatures presented to him.
I do so hope you lose because you clearly do not understand the law.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Rick Brattin is a loser.

Trying to rig an election is wrong, and un-American!

Cutting it a little close, and well past the time it should have been settled, we will use the 2022 Congressional District map in Missouri for the 2026 general election.

“…The Eighth Circuit’s application of Purcell was incorrect. Even though “federal courts should not impose changes close to an election, States are free to decide for themselves whether last-minute changes to an election are in their best imposed by federal law. [….] Moreover, in this case, the Missouri Supreme Court was not responsible for the late-breaking changes. On the contrary, in an opinion back in May 2026, well before the primary election, the Missouri Supreme Court stated that the 2025 map would not take effect until approved by the voters in an intervening referendum, at least if the referendum petition was legally sufficient. [….] So in the several-month period before the August primary election, the Missouri Secretary of State was well aware that conducting the August primary election with the 2025 map carried significant risks. The Secretary nonetheless chose to proceed with the 2025 map for the primary…” – People Not Politicians v. Onder, U.S. Supreme Court, September 25, 2026

Denny Hoskins (r) [2023 file photo]

We likes this so much, let’s highlight the detail again.

“…So in the several-month period before the August primary election, the Missouri Secretary of State was well aware that conducting the August primary election with the 2025 map carried significant risks. The Secretary nonetheless chose to proceed with the 2025 map for the primary…”

Denny Hoskins (r) [2022 file photo].

Somebody did swing a bat today. It wasn’t Denny Hoskins (r).

It gets better.

…In short, as a matter of state law, the 2022 map—not the 2025 map—must be used in the 2026 congressional election…

…In the wake of that recent Missouri Supreme Court decision, a group of voters and candidates (collectively, plaintiffs) sued in federal court. They contended that the U. S. Constitution requires Missouri to use the 2025 map in the 2026 election—even though the 2025 map cannot take effect under Missouri law unless and until it is approved by Missouri voters in the 2026 election.

In two orders in the last few weeks, this Court has denied such relief. In the first, the Missouri Secretary of State asked this Court to stay the September 3 decision of the Missouri Supreme Court that had prohibited use of the 2025 map in the general election. On September 8, JUSTICE KAVANAUGH, in his capacity as Circuit Justice for the Eighth Circuit, denied that request, thereby leaving the 2022 map in effect for the 2026 general election…

Denny Hoskins (r) is famous notorious!

…The Purcell principle applies with even greater force here. The election is not merely upcoming; it has already started. Ballots using the 2022 map have been printed and mailed. Absentee voting has already begun, as has military and overseas voting. According to local election officials in Missouri: “At this point, it is practically impossible to revert to the” 2025 “map.” Brief for Missouri Association of County Clerks and Election Authorities as Amicus Curiae in No. 26–2797 (CA8), p. 12.

At this late date, ordering reversion to the 2025 map in the midst of an ongoing election would usher in electoral chaos. Purcell protects against such disorder. The Eighth Circuit panel dealt with Purcell by casting blame on the Missouri Supreme Court for its September 3 decision reasoned, destabilized the election with its “last-minute decisio[n]” that could “potentially . . . decide the outcome of . . . party control of Congress.” ___ F. 4th, at ___, App. to
Emergency Motion 29a.

The Eighth Circuit’s application of Purcell was incorrect. Even though “federal courts should not impose changes close to an election, States are free to decide for themselves whether last-minute changes to an election are in their best interests”—subject, of course, to certain limited constraints imposed by federal law. Allen, 608 U. S., at 514 (citation omitted). Moreover, in this case, the Missouri Supreme Court was not responsible for the late-breaking changes. On the contrary, in an opinion back in May 2026, well before the primary election, the Missouri Supreme Court stated that the 2025 map would not take effect until approved by the voters in an intervening referendum, at least if the referendum petition was legally sufficient. Maggard v. State, 733 S. W. 3d 411, 419–420 (Mo. 2026); see also Healey v. State, 732 S. W. 3d 827, 836, n. 1 (Mo. 2026); NAACP Mo. State Conference v. Kehoe, 734 S. W. 3d 338, 341, n. 4 (Mo. 2026). So in the several-month period before the August primary election, the Missouri Secretary of State was well aware that conducting the August primary election with the 2025 map carried significant risks. The Secretary nonetheless chose to proceed with the 2025 map for the primary.

For those reasons, the application for stay presented to JUSTICE KAVANAUGH and by him referred to the Court is granted. The September 21, 2026, mandate and September 22, 2026, order entered by the U. S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit in No. 26–2797, and the September 21, 2026, and September 22, 2026, injunctions entered by the U. S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri, No. 4:26–cv–01424, ECF Docs. 57 and 60, are stayed absent any further order of this Court lifting such stays. The prior stay entered by this Court on September 10, 2026, likewise lifting that stay. The District Court and Court of Appeals should not enjoin or otherwise prohibit the use of the 2022 map in the 2026 congressional election in Missouri. And the District Court and Court of Appeals should not order or otherwise require Missouri to use the 2025 map in the 2026 congressional election in Missouri.

It is so ordered.

Dayam.

Catharine Hanaway (r) has a sad, too.

Mark Alford (r) [2023 file photo].

Today:

Congressman Mark Alford
[September 25, 2026]

Rural hospitals are lifelines. Nobody should have to drive more than an hour to get the care they need.
That’s why House Republicans delivered the largest rural health investment in American history in the Working Families Tax Cuts.
[….]

Yeah, no.

Some of the responses:

If the Big Beautiful Bill had not cut billions from health care we would be OK.

But Mark Alford (r) did vote for the bill, and here we are, not OK.

The house should be in session doing it’s job instead of adjourning early to avoid making decisions

Oh, they nmde the decisions. They just don’t want to be held accountable for them.

Congressman Mark Alford You present this as a standalone win without mentioning that the same bill cut rural Medicaid funding by an estimated $137B, nearly triple the new fund, a tradeoff independent researchers (KFF, CBO, Georgetown) and even some rural hospital groups have flagged as a net loss for rural healthcare, not a net gain. [….]
You don’t have Missourians’ best interests in mind, Congressman. Your bill cut $137B from rural Medicaid. This $50B ‘investment’ doesn’t even cover half of it. That’s not a lifeline, that’s spin.

Actually, he’s gaslighting us.

When? When was this? 1959? Because 1959 is about the last time Republicans did ANYTHING to help rural Missouri.

You cut rural healthcare for years Congressman Mark Alford.
You guys ruined rural health and now you’re gonna fix it.
Just leave things alone.
Look what Republicans have done to inflation and gas.
You’ve fought rural healthcare for years.
[….] how do MAGA scream about funding healthcare and then after defunding it decide to fix it.
It’s like your new wars and gas. If you just shut up and didn’t vote gas would be cheaper and Iran would still not have that nuke bomb our dementia riddled potus believes exists.

Congressman Mark Alford
The Trumplican Hypocrisy is pathetic!
What about that BIG BULLSHIT BILL?
You have failed the constituents in your district!
Be sure to look both ways before you go fuck yourself.

They probably can’t afford the gas to drive an hour or more. Thanks for passing the Bigly Bullshit Bill mark. Cutting healthcare is on you and rising fuel prices are too.

JUST STOP LYING!!!
First Alford gives trillions to his filthy rich ‘donors.’ Then he slashes basic needs from hard working Missourians to pay for it
Now, at election time, he tries to fool us into thinking he cares with these ‘fix our problems just enough for a vote’ SOCIALIST programs. MO 4 loses because we have a LOSER in congress

Bragging about a one-time grant while cutting the permanent funding rural hospitals need to survive is total political theater.
This “investment” comes from the Working Families Tax Cuts Act—the exact same bill that slashes billions from Medicare and Medicaid to pay for corporate tax cuts. Rural hospitals get up to 80% of their daily revenue from those two federal programs. Giving a struggling hospital a one-time check for facility upgrades while permanently cutting the insurance reimbursements they need to pay their doctors isn’t “delivering”—it’s a corporate bait-and-switch that will cause more rural closures.

You cut the rural hospital funding under the “Big Beautiful Bill”. How stupid do you think your constituents are that you think we will praise you for creating a problem then only partially fixing it, kind of?

Missouri Republicans are putting a band aid over a bullet wound.
DO NOT FALL FOR THIS! They voted for the Big Beautiful Bill that is causing these rural hospitals to close!

You tone-deaf moron! You are the one voting for legislation that is destroying rural access to care!

You also passed the Big Ugly Bill that cut funding for Medicaid at the same time it mandated requirements that essentially forced people off the program. You freaking give a pittance while ripping away a limb. Hypocrite.

Mark Alford (r) [2023 file photo].

I named my ostomy bag Congressman Mark Alford because it’s full of shit too!

And YOU voted for that “Big Beautiful Bill” that stripped health care coverage and dollars from states and patients!

You are beating a dead horse issue. You fucked said horse by massively trimming back the funding soi you don’t get to act like you are saving them now. You can’t ad the lube after you’ve already screwed them…

Bullshit, markie-boy. You repubs are killing people.

You mean the largest cut to rural healthcare in America history to then add a pathetic amount back.

GTFO of Missouri Congressman Mark Alford, and take your Bible with you.

Nonsense

And who voted yes on the terrible big bill??🤮🤡Lil’ Marky Mark

Then, why did you vote for the big, beautiful bill

Big Beautiful BS!

Why did you approve a budget that cut their funding? Is this more reelection rhetoric? Too little too late. You are such a disappointment.

Is that why so many rural hospitals closed down and the care centers are being shut too so tell me

According to analyses from KFF and congressional reports, recent federal legislation passed by Republicans has reduced long-term Medicaid funding, directly impacting rural hospitals and clinics.Major federal spending legislation enacted by Republicans has triggered significant long-term funding reductions for rural healthcare systems.📊 The Legislative CutsAccording to the Congressional Budget Office, the federal reconciliation package cuts over $900 billion from Medicaid nationwide.Estimated $137 billion cut from rural areasPermanent reductions in baseline federal supportMillions of rural residents facing uninsurance risks⚠️ Impact on Rural HospitalsAdvocacy groups like Protect Our Care state that fragile rural facilities face severe financial strain.
Congressman Mark Alford promising healthcare don’t match his actions and cuts.
Actions always speak louder than the word of men.

Mark is one dumb f. You cut Medicaid by trillions and think ur small bs fund is going to bring the back.. lol

Such a crock of 💩!

That about sums it up.

Mark Alford (r) steps on a rake…again

Mark Alford (r) [2023 file photo].

Yesterday:

Congressman Mark Alford
[September 19, 2026]

This week, House Republicans passed the National Fraud Enforcement Division Act — making a dedicated DOJ fraud team permanent.
Taxpayer dollars belong to you. Not to fraudsters.
❓ Should we have a team whose only job is going after fraud?
👍 YES — tell me why
👎 NO — tell me why
[….]

Uh, aren’t you supposed to ask your constituents before you vote on the bill, not after? Otherwise this is just performative bullshit. Just asking.

There is much hilarity in the responses:

Yes, they should start with the president, the cabinet and Congress.

Didn’t DOGE already have a go at that?

Yeah, no. It was all performative bullshit.

I’d love to have a doj that is independent from the presidency

Why did you decline a debate against the candidate running against you? Like to hear an answer!

Or just go to the White House and knock on the door.

Would collecting your paycheck and not doing any work count as fraud?

it is definitely a waste of tax dollars.

Maybe you should start at the White House.

Mark, why frame this as “House Republicans” when 352 members of Congress voted for it, including 139 Democrats? Fighting fraud isn’t particularly controversial or partisan. Giving your constituents the full story apparently is.

I thought that was the job of inspectors general???..

Oopsie.

President Trump’s firing of inspectors general threatens government accountability and efficiency
10/21/2025

[….]
President Donald Trump broke historic norms by firing 17 presidentially appointed inspectors general.
Trump’s firings, additional resignations and preexisting vacancies carried over from the Biden administration have resulted in over 75% of presidentially appointed inspector general positions sitting vacant.
The White House has unilaterally blocked funds appropriated by Congress to the Council of the Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency, an umbrella office that supports the inspector general community. The office’s website, which housed inspector general reports, recommendations for how the government can save money, and a whistleblower hotline, has been made unavailable due to a lack of funding.
[….]

How about we figure out how Pete lost a ship full of weapons, and they wound up in Hong Kong?

There’s that.

Start with the president and his family that will be a good start.

We already have organizations responsible for detecting fraud. Inspector Generals and the Councils of Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency.

If you don’t fire them all…

The should start at 1600 Pennsylvania

Start at the top.

Is there room for that team at the White House?

Here’s a tip ! ( look in the Whitehouse) ..

Mark,
If we did would they precipitate the indictment of Donald Trump? Asking for a friend.

Will Trump pardon them also?

Even better would be one that automatically disqualifies them from running for office or immediately removing them if the a currently in office…

Interestingly…

Yes. Let’s start with you and your friends.

I recommend purchasing a new mirror. It’s much less expensive.

Mark Alford (r) [2023 file photo].

Ouch. That one left a mark.

We had a fraud team. Musk and doge said we did not need it.

Isn’t that part of your job???

Let’s ask AI to find the the fraud among our politicians and government offices shall we?
We’d be left with, if lucky, 5 people.

I am In favor of a Justice Department that doesn’t kiss ass

Starting with You!

So Trump can pardon them for a simple bribe. Which then wipes out restitution…

Have you seen Trump’s pardon list?

Tip line, check 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

I thought was that was what DOGE was supposed to do. And failed badly.

We already have a permanent Justice Department. The problem is the corruption within that department.

Why don’t you start at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

The president cut out the government watchdogs with the Doge cuts. Start with the White House.

Trump would just free them

Why, if they donate $ to Trump, he’ll just pardon them.

Grifters gotta grift.

Like Trump?

How about we start in the White House?

Only if they arrest Trump first

Legislating where NOT needed, NOT legislating where needed. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Trump university and trump foundation

Once again- the call is coming from inside the house.

Why so then they can pay trump and then get paroled?

Didn’t they have that? But as soon as the IGs inspecting such were fired, it all went away! Waiting on my $2000 promised check!

Let’s start with trump and work our way down. Mark, you should be on that list as well.

They should start at the White House.

In theory, of course it’s a great idea. But I think in practice, we all know trump will just use it to go after his adversaries. So until we have someone in office that has some morals, and a congress that does their job, it’s probably not a great idea.

A better idea would be to not allow the president to take bribes from convicted fraudsters for pardons.

Not sure it helps since the president keeps pardoning people found guilty of commiting fraud.

It would pay for itself by recovering all of the money taken by Trump.

Seriously Congressman how can you even write this post? Our President has pardoned dozens of fraudsters thus eliminating the monetary judgments against them that our court system had handed down. So all the consumers that were ripped off got nothing.
[….]

They should start in the Oval Office.

Sure and you can start with the current administration and the billionaires in this country.

How about a House of Representatives that actually does some work. 71 or so work days and you don’t complain.

Congressman Mark Alford, no, we don’t need a permanent justice team to root out fraudsters—-we need investigators in every Federal agency to investigate fraudsters inside and outside of the government. Like the ones Trump fired, including hundreds from the IRS. Those auditors need to focus in fraud within ICE, the Pentagon, the Kennedy Center,
the Freedom250 committee, and expenditures made by every
Congressional member.

We already have this. The Department of Justice has dedicated health-care fraud prosecutors and Medicare fraud strike forces, working with the FBI, HHS-OIG, CMS and IRS. Tax fraud already has dedicated federal enforcement too. Creating another ‘team’ to do a job the federal government already does isn’t a policy proposal I t’s ragebait.

Hey!!! What do you think of trump banning the press and violating the Constitution???

A journalist would be outraged. Alford, not so much.

Ouch. That left a mark.

Yes, but when all the GOP is arrested, what then?

No. We should have the checks and balances that Trump took away when he fired Inspector Generals on one of his first days in office.
Nothing says “I am gonna commit some big time fraud” like firing most of the Inspector Generals (like he did during Covid, too)

That’s never been more a true need since Trump’s second term.

It’s already part of their job. I’d rather have a team in the White House that wasn’t issuing pardons to the worst convicted fraudsters that have stolen billions.

On vacation again we see…

If you give POTUS and his family a free pass it doesn’t matter what you do… you have zero credibility

If you can’t stop the president from grifting in plain sight what makes you think we trust you to catch anyone else 😆😂🤣

Not if they answer to the top fraudster and his personal lawyer.

There’s a guy in Jefferson City I could point them towards. Bald guy, looks like a rodent, wearing a red valet jacket, sometimes carries a baseball bat.

Donald Trump has pardoned so many white-collar criminals that committed financial fraud that he has effectively wiped out an estimated $2 billion in restitution and fines owed to the victims of those crimes.

We had Inspectors General who did that but Trump fired all of them at the beginning of his presidential term so they wouldn’t catch him stealing billions from We the People.

Wouldn’t our president just pardon them, like all the other fraudsters. You just speak to the people like they are complete idiots. How low must your iq be to vote Republican in 2026? Pretty, pretty, pretty low.

We used to have that until your orangutan buddy disbanded it. Next let’s talk about the CFPB you dick.

Well, that would be a bit embarrassing for your Great Leader, wouldn’t it?

Holy shit. Yes. Start with the Trumps, Kushners and Musk.

Start in the White House. What a stupid F’ing question.

You must think we’re stupid, and you’d be 38% correct according to latest polls

Who is the biggest fraudster on planet earth?? You know the answer bozo.

Congressman Mark Alford I know for certain there is a 34 time criminal felon, sexual abuser, business fraud, tax fraud, charity fraud, university fraud, election fraud con man at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave in DC. Lock him up!

Today’s propaganda drop. Fraud.

Fraud? Start with Trump, little puppet.

Yea- and the first list of arrests would be everyone in the cabinet. Oh, but wait… they’d just be pardoned like the long list of other convicted fraudsters.
Let’s hear your thoughts on all such individuals that have been pardoned and let off the hook for MILLIONS!

I’m pretty sure all of us were thinking that. How can we waste more money at a time where we’re broke and morons like you are in charge?

These Republicans posting this while working for the biggest fraudster in American history is wild. 🖕

You didn’t pass anything. Johnson sent everyone home so Hegsbeth wouldn’t get impeached.

Starting with the Trump family

Do you ever read the comments? The majority of our country and probably the world know trump is the most corrupt president in our history…Start there with waste, fraud and abuse.

It’s almost as if Trump didn’t fire 17 inspectors general his first week of this term whose job it was to do exactly that. 🤔🤷
We’re not nearly as delusional as you, Mark Alford.

Why aren’t you talking about fuel prices?

“$4.29 a gallon for gas, $6.29 a gallon for diesel”

It’s too bad your true supporters can’t read or write. You’ve been ratioed again.

Meta.

You should have not have cut the CFPB and SEC whose whole job was to fight fraud. This irresponsible administration keeps removing the experts and replacing them with weaponized partisan hacks who will do their bidding and attack the American people.

Why? Trump will only pardon the fraudsters.

Hey, Denny (r)…

This morning:

Congressman Mark Alford
[September 17, 2026]

On this Constitution Day in the 250th year of our great nation, I encourage Americans to read the Constitution, study it, and talk about it with those in your circle.
One of the most important things I own is a pocket Constitution my father gave me. I had it with me when I was sworn in for my first term.
I want to hear what the Constitution means to you, what you learned after reading, or what you think every American should know.
Fill out the form below to share your thoughts.

[….]

He asked, they answered:

“An alliance or coalition between Government and religion cannot be too carefully guarded against……Every new and successful example therefore of a PERFECT SEPARATION between ecclesiastical and civil matters is of importance……..religion and government will exist in greater purity, without (rather) than with the aid of government.”
James Madison

I think maybe you should read it👍

that’s not as much fun as waving it around though 🤷
Mark doesn’t actually want to do any work.

Hey Mark-what does the constitution say in the 14th amendment section 3? We read that one.

Maybe you should reread the part about how Congress oversees the executive branch.

You should ask Trump to read it too

You apparently don’t read it

I bet you read the constitution like you read the Bible. Probably never seen either one

Might want to chat with your Attorney General and Secretary of State about the constitution of your home state. Oh ya, the fat orange dude who’s boots you lick might need a refresher course as well

Hey, Skid Mark! MAGA doesn’t follow the Constitution, they follow what Trump wants to do! By the way, Gas prices when up 30 cents overnight to a record high of $4.29 a gallon. I know that you don’t care about gas prices or housing costs because you are living off your $175.000 government paycheck ((BTW)paid for by taxpayers) . So I see that Congress is on another 7 week vacation! So besides doing Photo ops, are you going to be doing any townhall meetings or debates with democrats?

You mean the piece of paper that contains your powers you’ve abdicated?

We see what you did there.

Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Meanwhile republicans can’t admit the president duped these morons into doing this, and then he pardoned them all. You are in team fascism. Try to scare us with the “socialists and communists” red scar rhetoric. You support a fascist.

Read it instead of us needing to tell you. Then take a responsible action to stop trump from destroying our nations monuments parks and buildings. Tell us how anyone else would not be in prison for even one of these items.

Read it and learn, asshole

Why does Trump say the Kennedy Memorial wont open until his name goes on it? Why does Trump have to have his image on a coin?

This is coming from someone that has turned their back on the US CONSTITUTION And the country by supporting a convicted felon and a Republican party that breaks the law and does everything to destroy the constitution with its lawless unconstitutional acts they do on a daily basis. We deserve so much better then this embarrassment. VOTE MARK ALFORD AND REPUBLICANS OUT IN NOVEMBER

Maybe you should read it again since you and your colleagues have ceded most of your authority to the executive branch.

MAGA Mark Alford & GOP fails. They fail on checks and balances. Alford is ok with cancelling house vote on impeachment of Pete Hogsbreth. Alford is serving trump, not citizens.

Do as I say, not as I do… Mark you clearly haven’t referenced the constitution in quite some time buddy

All of a sudden the constitution matters to MAGA Mark Alford. Fuel prices high, Alford says read the constitution. Trump keeps attempting to suppress the vote, Alford wants citizen to read the constitution. Trumps illegal war in Iran, Alford wants citizens to read the constitution. I think it’s time for MAGA Mark Alford to read the constitution. It’s time for MAGA Alford to understand separation of powers, checks

I encourage YOU to read it. And then read it again.
Then when your majority voters tell you what we want, you read the constitution a 3rd time, and then you come back to us and tell us what you learned.

Left a message with both DC and Raymore for you to host a town hall….yeah I dont anticipate that you will as you are afraid of your constituents because we want to hold you accountable for your actions/inactions while representing the great people of MO4.

Are you talking about the Constitution that Trump and 1000’s of his supporters attacked on 1/6 or is there a Maga Constitution I haven’t ever heard of?

Carrying a pocket constitution doesn’t make you a Constitution follower. 🙄🙄

Responsibility of serving “you” means “us” literally. Do you have any conscience of how your President is harming Americans in your district?
You can’t think for yourself, you follow the rest of the sheep.

Congressman Mark Alford Mark Alford, perhaps you should form study groups there on the Hill and especially in the WH. You all have made it abundantly clear that you have no respect for, nor understanding of, the principles and expectations put forth by our founding fathers in our constitution.
This has to be one of the least authentic campaign promos ever. 🤷

Maybe you should read it… And then read it again. If it’s too complicated know that it applies to EVERYONE HERE, even if you don’t like the color of their skin or the words that come out of their mouths. Loser!

Hey Mark’s people (because I know he isn’t writing or looking at this shit himself anymore)
Get out your ‘pocket Constitution’ that you claim means so much.
FUCKING READ IT AND LEARN WHAT YOUR JOB IS, because your part of Congress has very specific roles that you’ve been neglecting over and over and over in favor of made up bullshit issues to ‘tackle’.
Then do what it actually says to do, since you’re on our dime for your part time gig, which seems to mostly be going on TV shows and avoiding actual debates / public discussions with your constituents.
Or STFU, because nowhere in that does it say to rubber stamp a rapist, pedophile protecting, pathologically lying authroitarian who is constantly trying to undermine THE CONSTITUTION YOU SWORE AN OATH TO, but here we are.
You fucking hack piece of shit.

You may own a copy, but you neither understand nor follow it.

This is the epitome of a gaslighting cynical politician. His MAGA buds in DC doesn’t give a flying F about constitutional or civic norms. They are destroying the foundations of our country one brick at a time. It’s time folks to end this corrupt cynical leadership and it starts with your vote in November. Vote this guy back to being a TV guy.

I have read it, I am thinking sir that you need to read it. That document is very empowering to the citizens as it tells of a story of those frustrated with their leaders and how they resolved to self govern…. Maybe you should pick it up once in awhile and remind yourself who you actually work for.

You telling us to read the constitution. Thats funny on so many levels.

Many things you say have me questioning if you’ve read it. How about a little oversight from congress?

Today:

Congressman Mark Alford
[September 15, 2026]

🎓 It’s Education Freedom Week. ⏰
Every child is different. Every family is different.
So why should every student have the same path? Do you think there should be more parental school choice…yes or no?
Let us know by commenting below. 👇
[….]

Yes, he went there.

Some of the responses:

Families can already choose. If they want an exclusive school and not a public school they have a choice to pay for it.

Taxpayer funds shouldn’t be used for homeschooling or private schools. And rural people don’t have any option other than severely underfunded public schools.

School choice is just that: Schools choose their students. Parents choice is limited to schools that will accept their child. Public schools have to serve every student , private schools can refuse to admit a child for any reason they choose (generally excludes kids with mental or physical disability, low academic performance, misbehavior, parents religious beliefs, sexual orientation of child or parent…). Families in rural areas have little to no choice as there is no nearby private school. Public money is for educating the public, not just selected groups. Public schools are accountable for government money and student performance, private schools are not. Missouri’s public schools are underfunded based on the state’s own funding formula yet it found 60 MILLION $ to pay for private school tuition.

A vote for mark Alford is a vote for Donald Trump

Keep the money in public schools, where they are needed most to ensure all children can get an education. Trying to privatize it to put more money into the wealthy pockets is not “for the people”

No, I think children should all be taught a curriculum grounded in truth and not religion or right wing fear mongering or history denial

Vouchers are for private education only. According to the Herzog foundation a household of 4 can make up to $178,433 to qualify for voucher money. A household of 4 making $61,051 makes too much for reduced public school lunch. Also, the state again today voted to decrease public school funding even more. Over 80% of our kids attend public school. Thanks for your continued non support of public education.

Here’s your education on how this works dumb dumb, as if you dont know. You give parents a voucher to go seek an education wherever that family chooses. Private institutions will simply raise tuition rates to continue to keep out undesirable students or close registration because they cant handle the influx. Urban districts will see a mass exodus to neighboring district that also won’t be able to handle the influx and will shutter neighborhood schools in KC and St Louis. Lastly, private schools do not have to honor IEP’s or 504’s for students that need these accommodations, again forcing them to get a compromised education or stay in a situation that their public school has already been defunded. I terms that you understand, “vouchers bad”, free, funded public education good…

Let me choose where my tax dollars are going to! Not private schools!

Every family can choose. Not every family has choices in their area. As you are a representative to rural Missourians, you should probably understand that already.

Study after study has shown the primary beneficiaries of vouchers are already enrolled in private schools.

So when are the debates going to be Mark?

There are Lots of little towns that are held together by their public school in Alfords district. Once they are gone, the town will go with it. Nobody will build a private school in Osceola, niangua, fair play, or rich hill. Those towns would dry up and blow away without their local public school.

Make America educational ranking continue to plummet -as GOP destroys standards. Are we great yet?

Families have always had the right to choose. They’ve been doing it for decades. You’re creating a problem to justify funneling public funds to Christian schools for affluent families.

The only “education freedom” Alford seeks is the freedom for the wealthy to get tax payer funds to help send their kids to private schools while everyone else has their schools underfunded and their kids can’t get a proper education.

I think you’ve done enough to derail education for the day. Maybe give it a rest and come back tomorrow.

Just in time to see Missouri not fully fund public schools again. What a sad backwoods group of legislatures competing with Mississippi.

Quit spewing stupid crap. Families have always been able to choose. Tax dollars pay for public schools. Period. End of story.

THEY CAN CHOOSE!!! Just as long as they pay for their OWN PRIVATE SCHOOLS!
You’re NOT gonna make the taxpayers pay for PRIVATE SCHOOLS, which teach Christian Nationalism.
That’s what this is all about, Little Markie.
Stop trying to shove it down our throats.

Congressman Mark Alford
[September 11, 2026]

25 years ago, 9/11 changed our country forever.
Confronted with unimaginable tragedy, we united like never before. It’s time to find that unity again.
We will #NeverForget. [….]

Some of the responses:

Then we need a leader who speaks and models unification and not hate and division.

Meanwhile at the Pentagon 9/11 ceremony Trump naps. Oh sleepy Donold!

Alford is a divider.

He’s a glib bastard! Check your rings, watches, and wallet. Fair Warning

You have done nothing but sowed division in this country.
How dare you use the memory of this tragedy to spout unity.
This country will spend years after November recovering from the damage you have inflicted.

And lapdogs like Marky have divided this Country … POS

Mark Alford….Republican Terrorist….soon to be a greeter at Walmart with any luck.

Your party voted AGAINST helping the first responders- Mark you are a jerk

What a joke that YOU are calling for unity!

You shill.

You are going to have to change your ways deeply to find unity

Screwing farmers, ranchers, the poor, seniors and middle class is the big reason we probably never will.

Well do your job! Patsy

That’s because you and the maga fuckers messed it up

We’re you there also, Donnie said he was there carried by fireman, tell us is that true?

If 9/11 happened today, The democrats would support the hijackers

There’s that “unity” thing for you.

We will never be united again until Donald Trump and his gofers like Mark Alford are in our rearview mirror.

Congressman Mark Alford , if you want to find that unity again stop bending over every time the president does something that negatively affects your constituents —- tariffs that have upset the world economy; starting a war that has disrupted the flow of oil (raising costs for fertilizer and gasoline and diesel fuel); approving tax cuts for the ultra wealthy while cutting Medicaid, SNAP and public education).

You divide…thats all you do

We welcome all centrist Democrats, independents, conservatives, libertarians, those with no political affiliation and patriots to join us in voting Republican for common sense government and to help stop leftist extremism, socialism and communism from destroying our wonderful democratic republic. [….]

Are the leftist extremists, socialist, and communists in the room with you right now?

Mark your a good man to put up with the TDS you get from the socialists on here

Apparently they’re all on this social media page.

Jordan J Herrera
But you’re promoting the war Iran, which is the same exact thing. It’s a weapon of mass destruction war with limited information, very little evidence to support the claims. And absolutely no mission planning or strategy or way to get us out of it.
This is a wolf and sheep clothing if I’ve ever seen one. He definitely will rob the henhouse to pay the fox. And he’s already doing that. He’s supporting bills and voting for measures. That absolutely hurt each and every one of us here in Missouri.

Don’t forget that this man supports Trump when we vote in November. The president that is supported by white supremacists. You can’t support Trump and want Americans to be united.

We are not the same country since 6 January

I don’t know, everyone seems pretty united in the comments. They all think you’re a joke.

Thanks to Republicans, 25 years later, the world will no longer come to our aid or defense.

You’re preaching coming together yet every other message out of your mouth is about how the Democrats are bad and that anybody on the left is the enemy so maybe walk the walk before you run your mouth.

SO YOU STARTED A FOREVER WAR IN THE MIDDLE EAST BASED ON PROJECT 2025. #FU

If you want us to unite, then stop being so divided stop fighting against the people for millionaires and billionaires, and a president who senile and dysfunctional

It’s sad that the nazi propaganda machine of the democrats can’t even show respect for the American people on the remembrance of this tragedy.

Unity, it’s what’s for breakfast…

It caused our nation to ultimately abandon our values and become a nation that installed a dictator and his crotch sniffing cronies like alford

Gee, I wonder who created the division? Look in the mirror you craven, spineless, bigoted clown.

True. But your words daily do not reflect uniting each other. You represent only the people who voted for you, MAGA.

Just stop. Everyday you find a way to divide America.

Yeah, because you guys use hate and division and allow Trump to publicly flout the law.

The leader of your party is an adjudicated fraud. He lies like most people breathe. He sows hate and division like no one since Nixon. Fuck you.

Denny Hoskins (r) [2022 file photo].

On Tuesday:

For Immediate Release: Sept. 8, 2026

STATEMENT FROM MISSOURI SECRETARY OF STATE DENNY HOSKINS

The Missouri First Congressional Map stands as the Law of the Land. I promised I would never stop fighting for Missourians and I have gone to the mat on that. Today United States District Court, Eastern District Judge Stephen Clark issued a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO), mandating use of HB-1, the Missouri First Congressional Map. This victory halts a full-on constitutional crisis. It ensures the candidates Missourians nominated in the August primary election are the same candidates running in the same congressional districts they will vote on in the November general election. This is a win for Missouri—and a win for constitutional conservativism and I am proud to lead this charge.

Yesterday:

For Immediate Release: Sept. 10, 2026

Statement from Missouri Secretary of State Denny Hoskins

Following the United States Supreme Court’s stay, the only governing court order in effect is from the Missouri Supreme Court. In accordance with that order, my Office is directing local election authorities to use the 2022 congressional map.

It took how long?

Threatening the Missouri Supreme Court the night before a contempt hearing is probably not a good idea.

A letter, sent yesterday, from right wingnuts in the Missouri General Assembly addressed to the Missouri Supreme Court Chief Justice:

In the final paragraph:

[….]

The Court is reminded that the Missouri Constitution provides for checks and balances on each branch of government. Should Secretary Hoskins be held in contempt, we will petition the Speaker of the House and legislative leadership to begin impeachment proceedings against the responsible members of this Court for willful neglect of duty, incompetency, and misconduct under Article VII, Sections 1 and 2 of the Missouri Constitution. Those grounds exist precisely for officers who refuse duties of their office, including the duty of every state judge to be bound by the supreme law of the land.

“…Those grounds exist precisely for officers who refuse duties of their office…”

Is somebody going to tell them?
