They did.

This evening:

Congressman Mark Alford
[October 30, 2026]

For far too many rural Missourians, getting routine checkups, seeing a specialist, or handling an emergency means burning gas, taking time off work, and driving hours away from home.
@HouseGOP is taking action to strengthen our rural health infrastructure—boosting investments in local clinics, expanding telehealth access, and keeping critical medical care right here in our local communities.
Should Missouri families be able to get quality healthcare without driving hours from home?
👍 YES – tell me why
👎 NO – tell me why not
[….]

Some of the responses:

They should get what their representative voted for: cuts to rural healthcare in exchange for billionaire tax cuts

That’s exactly what happened.

Should Missouri families be able to AFFORD healthcare?yes, but they can’t because you passed your big bogus bill. Somw ^success^.

Cool. Didn’t you vote to cut Medicaid?

lies

WWJD? He’d advocate for universal Healthcare
[….]

You voted for the big bullshit bill. You have no leg to stand on, here. Missouri deserves better.

You’re doing what Trump does. You’re saying the exact opposite of what you’re doing.
Anything to divert attention away from the Epstein scandal

Absolute falsehood!! My GOD – have you NO shame??!?
YOUR tax law last year cut nearly $1 trillion from Medicaid, the federal health insurance program for low-income people, over the next decade. Right AFTER the midterms…

The BIG BOGUS BILL states…THAT IS A LIE!!!

To bad you voted for the BBB that killed them

Sure is a shame you voted for a budget to cut funding for them, ain’t it?

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is how republicans have acted my entire life. Create a problem, then convince stupid people that the ones who created the problem are the only ones who can “fix” it. And they keep getting away with it, because they know their constituents are stupid.

YEP! So, why did you vote to cut the funding for rural hospitals?
You are an idiot Congressman Mark Alford.

They use to be able to. Now this is the nearest thing to that healthcare measure we waited 2 weeks for 10 years. Nice job Republicans the only ones you fool are yourselves.
[….]

funny how you only post asking what we the people need or want, a few days out from the election….. I never even saw a post or heard anything from you until just a few months ago… buzz off! You do not give a rip about anyone unless it keeps you in your seat…

Really, you need someone to tell you??

Sadly, yes.

They should! And you voted to cut funding for our rural hospitals. What a silly goose!!

What we should get is a congressman that doesn’t spend 63,000 dollars on dinners and bars. While we are out here struggling you are paying for 2000 dollar dinners. 1000 dollar lunches and bar tabs that could pay someones rent. That’s sick

How your legislators voted on public schools
A legislator’s votes are the clearest record of what they value. Speeches, mailers, and yard signs are promises. Roll calls are what actually happened to our kids’ classrooms.

Use our tool to find your legislators, check how they voted on critical issues that impact school funding, and see who is on your ballot. Remember, vote by November 3rd!

Put elimination of the state income tax on the ballot, which could have cost public schools $1.4 billion

About these votes

HB 2002: FY 2027 K-12 education budget; kept the foundation formula about $190M below what state law requires. Senate Amendment 2 (Apr 22) would have fully funded it and failed 10-20. Vote reflects roll call at final passage (May 6).

HB 2012: FY 2027 budget for statewide officials, including the State Treasurer’s MOScholars private school voucher program. Vote reflects roll call at final passage (May 6).

HJRs 173 & 174: joint resolution placing the income tax amendment on the Aug 4, 2026 ballot as Amendment 5 (rejected by voters). House final = Apr 21 vote agreeing to the Senate version; Senate = Apr 15 passage. Vote reflects roll call at final passage (House Apr 21, Senate Apr 15).

Yesterday:

Congressman Mark Alford
[October 28, 2026]

SHOW-ME RESULTS 🇺🇸
After visiting nearly every rural hospital in Missouri’s Fourth District, I’ve seen firsthand just how important these facilities are to the communities they serve.
That’s why I introduced the Sustaining Rural Healthcare Act to give hospitals like Bates County Memorial a new pathway to Critical Access Hospital status, helping them remain financially stable and continue caring for families in MO-04. 🏥
We’re fighting to protect our rural hospitals and make sure Missouri families continue to have access to emergency care close to home!
#ShowMeResults #WorkingForYou
[….]

Some of the responses:

Congressman, your voting record appears to have wandered out of the photo.
On July 3, 2025, you voted YES on the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. That law was projected to cut federal Medicaid spending by $911 billion over ten years, including approximately $137 billion in rural areas.
Now you’re posing at a rural hospital under “SHOW-ME RESULTS” and asking us to admire your commitment to keeping the doors open.
Some of us read the roll calls between photo opportunities.
Your proposed Medicare reimbursement fix could help Bates County Memorial. Good. Pursue it. But explain how that squares with your vote for Medicaid reductions that put additional financial pressure on rural healthcare providers.
And before the predictable response about the $50 billion rural health fund: that money lasts five years, serves purposes beyond hospitals, and doesn’t fully replace the projected rural Medicaid losses. Putting some money back doesn’t make the larger reduction disappear. Arithmetic remains stubbornly unimpressed by campaign graphics.
Your post says you introduced legislation. Introducing a bill is a step. It isn’t evidence that a hospital has received additional reimbursement or that you’ve saved one from closure.
So here’s the question your post conveniently avoids:
How much funding do hospitals in your district stand to lose under the law you supported, and how much would your proposed bill actually restore?
Show us those numbers, Congressman.
You brought the photograph. Bring the accounting.

Over the last 10 years (2016–2026), 12 to 14 rural hospitals have closed in Missouri (out of 21 total hospital closures across the state during that span). Recent 2026 reports indicate that roughly 50% of Missouri’s remaining rural hospitals are considered at risk of closing due to workforce shortages, inflation, and federal funding pressures, with a significant percentage projected to face severe jeopardy within the next few years. Medicaid cuts are a major contributing factor.
Whats taken you so long to notice?
Herrera for Congress!!!

hmm, seems like maybe the Trump admin shouldn’t have dismantled all of the oversight bodies. We need to eliminate and prosecute fraud, not cut healthcare

Midterms Approaching Propaganda and significant self-promotion

ACA was implemented 16 years ago! I don’t understand why people keep blaming everything on it and not doing anything to change it!!

Before the BBBill they were in good shape
You broke them

Congressman Mark Alford
Bullshit MAGA Kool-Aid!
What about your vote and support for The Big Bullshit Bill?
I cast my vote today for Herrera for Congress 🗳 🇺🇸
Be sure to look both ways before you go fuck yourself!

Did you tell them you voted to cut their funding???

Mark Awful, liar.

How did you vote on the big beautiful bill that takes away healthcare? Munchausen by proxy? I’ll make healthcare sick then pretend to nurse it back to health in an election cycle.

Markey Poo 💩,
Do you ever read the comments after you post this garbage? You and your ilk are going down.
Vote Blue
Flush this turd down the toilet!

AGAIN INTRODUCED. That gets us nowhere. You’ve not stayed in session long enough to get anything done.

Revisionist history! Fox TV personality Marky Asswipe voted to cut healthcare for Missourians. Vote him out!!

Mark Awful, why don’t you tell your constituents what happens to Medicaid on Jan 1, 2027. Come on Mark, you voted for it.

Funny how Alford wants applause for introducing a bill to help rural hospitals after voting for Trump’s legislation that included Medicaid cuts which will expedite rural healthcare facilities closings.
You don’t get credit for putting out a fire while helping start it.
Vote for Jordan J Herrera.

Alford voted with Trump to cut Medicaid Medicare and insurance premium subsidies causing rural hospitals to close. This post is a lie . Vote him out vote Blue everybody.

So..
Bailing out hospitals your trump supporting agenda wrecks?..?
Weird.

This guy has such a dominant maga voter base that he just lies right to our faces

Bla,Bla,Bla lil’ boy!!!🤡🤡🤡🤮🤮🤮

I think Mark Alford didn’t read the Big Beautiful Bill before he voted on it.
One of the changes that Republicans won’t talk about is going to create an even worse doctor and nurse shortage in rural Missouri:
Graduate Medical Loan Changes
• Beginning July 1, 2026, Grad PLUS loans will be eliminated for new borrowers and new
lifetime borrowing caps will apply for medical school and nursing students.
[….]

Big Beautiful Bill? Remember voting for it and cutting healthcare? I remember!

Good morning to everyone except the incumbent politicians suddenly knocking on doors and begging for votes:
Years of ignoring your constituents. Seven days of pretending to give a fuck.
We’re voting you out.

Why are we inviting criminals into the United States?
A senior State Department official says Brazilian opposition candidate and Sen. Flavio Bolsonaro and his family will be granted U.S. visas after his weekend presidential election loss.
Bolsonaro had been ordered in Brazil to surrender his passports and said yesterday that he had no plans to leave his country, amid an investigation into alleged corruption, money laundering and tax evasion.
[….]

Fascists get in for free.

How about holding Marco Rubio accountable?
On March 18, 2025, Secretary of State Marco Rubio handed the reins of the US Agency for International Development to Jeremy Lewin, a 28-year-old graduate of Harvard Law School, former investment banker, and affiliate of Elon Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency. At the time, Lewin’s appointment drew criticism because of his lack of experience in government, diplomacy, or foreign assistance. But for career staff inside the agency, the issues surrounding Lewin’s new role were much more alarming than his thin résumé.
For at least two months, USAID senior staff had no knowledge of how Lewin, who appeared at the agency one day as a policymaker on an obscure detail from the General Services Administration, could have suddenly begun wielding the powers of the agency’s top official.
Internal USAID emails reviewed by WIRED reveal that during the three-week period of March 18 to April 4, during which Lewin began canceling lifesaving aid programs and personally signed off on the termination of thousands of USAID employees, he did not sign the paperwork typically required by law to begin work at the agency, despite repeated requests. In fact, his appointment was so mysterious that USAID security was unable to issue him an ID card because they had no records of his employment.
[….]

Where’s my DOGE check? Can you check on that for us? Christmas is coming up soon.

expect it in about two weeks along with that healthcare plan they’ve been promising for 10 plus years😂

I wish you and all the government officials could live my (or any middle- or low-income people) lives. Then maybe you would understand what you and your buddies have done to the US!!!!! Shame on you.

You’re a little late. Our hospital has already shut down several departments and laid off lots of people!!!! Just because you want votes, you’re saying this!!!!!

Visiting another rural hospital for a photo op that you voted to close in the big bullshit bill?… Way to go sleepy mark!
[….]

Is that why you voted to cut millions from them through Medicaid and Medicare cuts?

After the midterms the $500 billion cuts to Medicare begin! The Republican Big Beautiful Bill is stealing your healthcare! 😔

Wwjd?
[….]

That’s super fantastic.
So, anything on the crippling prices of gas, diesel, groceries, health insurance or housing? How about a plan to help OUR farmers instead of enriching Argentina’s farmers with their uninspected mystery meat. Maybe a check on the out of control corruption? Perhaps a sound plan to stop the needless war that trump started? Epstein files? Anything at all?
[….]

So, is everybody ready for the 2026 version of “Stop The Steal”? I wonder if Gym Jordan and the other maga dirtbags have their bullhorns and posters out of storage yet. I do hope they try it again, would love to see what happens this time.

This evening:

Congressman Mark Alford
[October 26, 2026]

Under Republican leadership, we’re putting the safety and security of the American people FIRST! 🇺🇸
Illegal southern border crossings dropped 95% in FY2026 compared to Biden level-eras. 📉
President Donald J. Trump is backing our Border Patrol agents, enforcing our immigration laws, and taking action to secure our southern border.
A secure border means safer communities, stronger national security, and greater protection for American families. That’s what we’re fighting for! 🇺🇸
[….]

Some of the responses:

Congressman Mark Alford, there is always more than one way to interpret data. And MAGA Republicans have become notorious for spinning valid data points into propagandized poppycock.
[….]

Where does the war in Iran fit into the program?

You should visit your buddies in northeast Vernon county. 🖕🤡

How does Trump 1 term compare to Biden?

As an Independent voter, I used to believe that Republicans were honorable, honest, moral, had integrity, and were devoted constitutionalists. MAGA changed that belief. Until MAGA is fully extinguished, I will not vote for a Republican.

Beware of the desperate unarmed brown people!! Their misery will be transferred to you! To exterminate your troubles theirs must be ignored!!
They’ve actually convinced you that the presence of a POOR person is what is making you poor ~ NOT the fat rich guys? The ones with ALL THE CAPITAL?? That pay no taxes???
That their proximity has made you financially less somehow, or in some manner denied you some important thing…??
Really?? The people with nothing are the ones ripping you off??
“Your enemy isn’t carrying all their belongings in a plastic bag. Your enemy is carrying an investment portfolio. Wake the f*ck up!”
– Liam Cunningham, Irish actor
But you never read a single word the GOP tax bill or the Mueller Report, or any of those indictments after that, nor paid any attention to where the money is actually going, have you?
For gods sake, a woman with three kids didn’t walk from Guatemala to break into your double-wide and steal your jewels…She didn’t come up here to sell you meth…
She isn’t stealing your underpaid job.
She came up here to survive.
CBO Director Phill Swagel wrote in a note accompanying his economic forecasts: As a result of these immigration-driven revisions to the size of the labor force, “we estimate that, from 2023 to 2034, GDP will be greater by about $7 trillion and revenues will be greater by about $1 trillion than they would have been otherwise.”
Got that? The surprise increase in immigration has led a multitrillion-dollar windfall for both the overall economy and federal tax coffers.
The truth is: the only truly corrupt and dangerous minority is the rich.
In the unlikely event that the facts matter:
Undocumented immigrants don’t receive food stamps, live in public housing, enroll in non-emergency Medicaid coverage or receive supplemental security insurance or cash assistance. They are eligible to receive emergency medical services, enroll in public schools and participate in meals programs there, and participate in Head Start or WIC. There is no federal program that directly gives cash to immigrants in the country illegally.
Look it up…
AND…it is not a violation of any US law to arrive at a port of entry seeking assistance and asylum – those that do are NOT HERE ILLEGALLY.
[….]

President Trump and the Republicans have made America the least safe it has been in over 80 years by trying to end alliances which have kept us safe. This is a travesty and you are complicit.

White House propaganda.
What they aren’t telling you is that Trump’s boarder policies are cutting strategic LEGAL immigration far more than illegal immigration.
What they aren’t telling you is how much MAGA inferiority complexes are costing American citizens.
Missouri has had enough.

and how many folks had their due process violated? american citizens killed?

Keep lying Alford. It’s all you have left.

Please explain how this helps the cost of living to hard working Americans. Is this what the GOP is hanging their hats on? Get real!

Trump has made 81 million off gas aka Iran war

I don’t care about undocumented immigrants!!!!
I am not afraid of undocumented immigrants!
Undocumented immigrants are not destroying my life!
Undocumented immigrants CONTRIBUTE TO OUR ECONOMY.
Undocumented immigrants are NICER than any MAGAs I know!
STOP with FUCKING SCARE TACTICS regarding undocumented immigrants!
Stop with the INHUMANE and ILLEGAL detention of undocumented immigrants!
COME UP WITH A BETTER PATH TO CITIZENSHIP!
THAT…IS WHAT WE WANT!

You’re a joke….. TRUMP invites Iran to bomb US cities…. Said it’d be ok. Any citizen saying that would have been arrested and locked up.
He took a $400 million jet from Middle East countries.
And you’re worried about the border?? Vote BLUE

You mean the safety of Rich White Men….

WWJD? Welcome yhe stranger!!

In Two months the Big Medicaid cuts come into affect
[….]

Meanwhile, how many citizens have we shot?

Today:

Congressman Mark Alford
[October 26, 2026]

SHOW-ME RESULTS 🇺🇸
Rural Missourians deserve quality healthcare close to home!
Last year, I joined our congressional delegation in urging state leaders to prioritize rural healthcare through the Rural Health Transformation Program.
Now Missouri is putting that $216 million to work — strengthening rural hospitals, expanding emergency and maternal care, and training more professionals. 🏥
I’ll keep fighting so rural communities’ needs stay front and center! 🇺🇸
#ShowMeResults #WorkingForYou

Some of the responses:

Cut 100 million put back 10 and expect to be thanked.

When is he going to start doing anything?

After January third when he packs his backs and whack-a-moles over to pop up in a different grift.

Didn’t you vote for the Big Beautiful Bill Mark?

Yep.

Unfortunately ,more than 200 rural hospitals have closed or converted to models that exclude inpatient care (such as Rural Emergency
The program notes that 50% of the funds will be distributed equally across all 50
states, and the remaining 50% of funds will be distributed in a manner to be
determined by the CMS Administrator based on the concentration of rural healthThe law cuts federal Medicaid and CHIP spending by roughly $800 billion to over $1 trillion. Because roughly one in four rural residents relies on Medicaid—a higher rate than in urban areas—these cuts disproportionately strip coverage and funding from rural communities
Anyone with a calculator on their smartphones understands that this program has no longevity and was designed as a Midterm election fluff
Smoke and Mirrors
Today’s current event that is making national news is Children Mercy Hospital.
The desperation in the parents of young patients was heartbreaking to hear.
Currently its affecting about 400 Children getting cut off from Healthcare through the ACA cuts in the big beautiful bill.
The news reporting states the actual number could be closer to 55,000 Children being denied future Healthcare services.
Many ACA insurance plans are being utilized by are small buisnesses and entrepreneurs who don’t have the benefits of an employee group plan.
Alford likes to talk about what he’s done for rural hospitals, but its all talk ,since many of these cuts are happening in January 2027
Alford has turned his back on Children’s Healthcare.
Mark Alford you can create a new meme with you saying ” I Did This ”
Well actually you accomplished this debacle by your involvement in the Big Beautiful Bill

he will never reply . He will tell you it’s all Bidens fault

SHOW-ME A NEW CONGRESSMAN

don’t to forget gas prices so they can aford to get care and Med.

Alford voted to weaken rural health

It’s going to get worse too, right Mark?

Mark Awful voted to eliminate more healthcare in MO beginning Jan 1, 2027. Republicans timed it so it hit post the elections. That tell you all you need to know about Mark Awful and Republicans

You voted to cut Medicaid and Medicare while also supporting limitations to maternal medicine. 🤦🏼‍♀️

After he voted to take it away. We NEED better!

Did he read the “big beautiful bill”?!

He voted for it.

Midterms Approaching Propaganda and significant self-promotion.

So nice of you to take away rural healthcare and then scrape together crumbs to “strengthen” rural healthcare. The farmers who lose access to healthcare will send you packing.

You’re la[t]e or fake to the rural hospital issue. Cuts in Medicaid by the big beautiful bill you signed have rural hospitals in a bind as now they have people without Medicaid who can’t pay, but still need services. [….]

We cannot forget that this is the same man that voted for A Bill that just kicked thousands of people off insurance at Children’s Mercy Hospital. VOTE MARK ALFORD OUT.

You supported the cuts and was making comments about why. Have a townhall.

What about Children’s Mercy in KC and the devastating cuts you’re responsible for?
Vote Jordan J Herrera and get someone in who has a brain and who cares, and isn’t just doing sound bites.

Alford is and always has been all about himself! Please don’t believe anything he says!

Hey Mark, you already screwed up the Affordable Care Act. I bet you’ll have something in 2 weeks, right?

Too late to hope you do better

Look fool . We know exactly how you voted. Quit your bull shit. You would be much better off just shutting the F up

Where’s Trump’s best Healthcare plan ever you know the one he said he was going to replace ObamaCare with. Another thing that is the problem is Healthcare is one of the highest to be monopolized in the US same as about 99% everything else and the Republicans support the corporate American that does it

It’s too late idiot. You voted for the big ugly bill. Rural healthcare fate is sealed thanks to you! Nothing you can do will bring it back. Quit posting this crap. You should have never voted for the big ugly bill!

Cocky Congressman Mark Alford thinks he’s going to win Missouri District 4. He sent emails asking for money sending ideas for FY 2028.
Yet he never shows his face around the District to hear Constituents concerns and learn from them directly how money can be appropriated.
VoteBlue

You know what would help rural health systems? Not cutting Medicaid and Medicare.

Congressman Mark Alford protects pedophiles and hates you.
He voted for these cuts to rural hospitals and BRAGGED about his vote on the Big Beautiful Fuckup bill.
The arsonist being remorseful does not absolve guilt.
Vote the lying, pedophile sycophant out.

A little late aren’t you

Congressman Mark Alford didn’t i just read a couple weeks ago where two more missouri hospitals shut down OB units?

Yes we did. The new owners of the hospital in Marshall will NOT be offering OB services. Fact!

Have you even addressed the Childrens Mercy hospital issue of being not authorized by several insurers on the ACA?

High Gas Prices, High Groceries, Federal Workers are being Attacked! What Good are you doing?

You voted to cut Medicaid and Medicare while also supporting limitations to maternal medicine. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Just like Trump, create the problem from Big Beautiful Bill, then claim you are doing everything to solve it!

I think we are gonna see results but I don’t think you will like them…better tighten up that resume Mark….unless of course you know that election interference is looming and you are safe.

You voted to cut Medicaid….. stop pretending to care when it’s election time

His platform promoting health is to push hungry kids off SNAP, the working poor off of Medicaid, let the program collapse precipitate the closure of rural healthcare facilities, and remind the poor that they are that way because of bad decisions.
May Alford be consumed by the twenty-first century hellscape he and his like-minded theives architected for the poor.

Hi, Mark—Have you seen how well your president’s oil and gas stocks are doing? Have you seen that he’s enriched himself by $2.4b while in office?
I’m sure the farmers don’t mind taking that $8b bailout when they can rest assured that your president is doing so well for himself.

Honestly, they think we’re stupid. It’s insulting. Doesn’t matter the state, they claim they are fixing something they made worse or they’re taking credit for something they voted against.

So you spend your time in congress destroying basic healthcare access then you don your cape and proclaim yourself the savior of healthcare. My hero!

You are embarrassing

THIS IS A STATE OF EMERGENCY yet nothing!!!! Mosaic doesn’t even have a Pediatric wing. Almost every child in NW & SW children go to Mercy. Yet they’re worried about abortion and transgender. 1% of the population is transgender.

Now do 1 trillion in cuts to Medicare and Medicaid over the next ten years that will crush rural hospitals all over the country. Blatantly lying is what the Trump cult does.

By voting to cut healthcare for millions of people? Raising the cost of health care by voting against ACA subsidies? Voting to strip funding from hospital by Medicaid cuts? That’s Alford fighting for rural healthcare?

After your party DECIMATED it.

You have to be literally one of the absolute clueless and outright dumb individuals to ever come from Missouri politics. Just a complete dolt. I’m a conservative and I think you’re just terrible for this state.

You strengthen rural health care by voting for the big bullshit bill so the rural hospitals close…. Way to go sleepy mark!

You touted for and voted for the big bullshit bill.
Shut up and sit down.

Another statewide republican politician in Missouri, in a long line of examples, who continually trips on his own shoelaces.

Denny Hoskins (r) [2022 file photo].

Missouri Secretary of State
[October 24, 2026]

A theme throughout President Harry S Truman’s 1948 Whistle-stop campaign, Missouri’s favorite son emphasized that the power of the US government rests with the people.

The November 3 general election is just ten days away—make your voice heard!

[….]

On the importance of voting

When you vote, you are in control of your government.
– Harry S Truman –

Denny Hoskins

Some of the responses:

You keep his name out of your mouth.

There is considerable irony in Secretary of State Denny Hoskins invoking Harry Truman’s words: “When you vote, you are in control of your Government.”
Truman meant considerably more than simply encouraging people to show up on Election Day.
In those 1948 remarks, Truman said, “I trust the people, because when they know the facts, they do the right thing.” He said the American people themselves should decide what kind of government they wanted. Throughout that whistle-stop campaign, he repeatedly returned to the same principle: ordinary citizens exercise control over their government through the ballot box.
That fuller context matters.
Because when more than 300,000 petition signatures were submitted asking that Missouri voters be allowed to decide whether to accept the legislature’s mid-decade congressional redistricting, Hoskins attempted to keep that question from the ballot. The Missouri Supreme Court unanimously concluded that he was wrong.
The Court found the petition legal, sufficient and timely and pointed to the plain language of the Missouri Constitution, which reserves to the people the power to approve or reject “any act of the general assembly” through referendum, subject to specified exceptions. The Court ordered Hoskins to certify the petition and put the question before Missouri voters.
There is a similar contradiction with Amendment 6, which concerns protecting Missouri’s initiative and referendum powers and limiting the legislature’s ability to undo decisions voters make through those processes. Hoskins initially refused to certify that measure as well before ultimately certifying it pursuant to the Missouri Supreme Court’s decision.
So quoting Truman here deserves some scrutiny.
You cannot invoke an American icon’s words about citizens controlling their government while leaving out the principle underlying those words. Truman’s message was not that voters should have a voice only when government officials are comfortable with the question being decided. His repeated message was that political power ultimately belongs to the people and that voting is how they exercise it.
No one can know exactly what Harry Truman would say about a Missouri political controversy nearly 80 years later.
But we do know what Truman actually said.
“I trust the people.”
“When you vote, you are in control of your Government.”
Those principles are difficult to square with fighting to prevent Missouri citizens from voting on a referendum after they had satisfied the signature requirements, particularly when Missouri’s highest court ultimately ruled unanimously that the Constitution gave them precisely that right.
Harry Truman’s legacy belongs to history, not to any current officeholder. If you are going to borrow the credibility of his words, you should be prepared to live by the democratic principle behind them.
Otherwise, quoting Truman becomes less a tribute to his principles and more an exercise in political convenience.

Oh I will, bud. I sure will. You and your red blazer can bank on it!

So you’re yes on 6?

This is why I’m voting Yes on 6, because we are in charge of our government and the folks elected to represent us need to be reminded of that.

Except when Hoskins, Kehoe, or Hannaway disagree with how you vote… 😒

Please don’t invoke Truman. You, sir, are no Truman!

Unless you elect people who will not listen to the will of voters…Yes on 6!! Because actions have consequences

Glad you agree Denny. Yes On 6

Yes on 6! The rest are tricks!

This is rich coming from you. 🤡

Rich, coming from you!

Unless you live in Missouri. Missourians make their voices heard, place amendments. Then the legislature wants to tell us we don’t know what we want.
🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

And then the Missouri GOP tries to interfere in your vote

Yes on 6 to maintain your power.

Yes on 6.

The irony of Republican Secretary of State Denny Hoskins posting this cannot be understated. Here’s a statement that Harry Truman delivered at one of those whistle stops so many years ago:
“When the Republican candidate inscribes the slogan ‘Down With Socialism’ on the banner of his ‘great crusade,’ that is really not what he means at all.”
“What he really means is ‘Down with Progress–down with Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal,’ and ‘down with Harry Truman’s fair Deal.’ That’s all he means.”
[….]

You were on my mind when I voted this morning 😊😊

President Truman would say Hoskins is a disgrace to his office and the great State of Missouri! I will VOTE YES on Amendment 6 and NO on Prop A, the gerrymandered voting map! Missouri’s right to petition has been part of our Constitution since 1908. The same Constitutional right Hoskins, Kehoe and Hanaway thought they could overrule and both Supreme Courts ruled against them. We won’t let any of them forget this!
[….]

So much irony with this one. Vote yes on 6.

Pahhlease!

Interesting that you didn’t feel this way about the new maps! Aye on 6!

We need to get rid of the corrupt party Hoskins belongs to, but they will find a way to cheat & rig this election (already starting in Alaska). We need to overwhelm this fascist gop regime, take control and insert sweeping reform to ensure such incredible corruption never takes place again. You’re part of the problem Denny Hoskins, you’re a fascist traitor who serves one man, not the people. History will not be kind to your ilk.
[….]

Wow, your hypocrisy is effing stunning.

Truman’s rolling over in his grave every time you say his name

Missouri Secretary of State Denny Hoskins, How dare you.

I will Vote NO on 3, 7, 8 and Prop A.

Then how come we have to keep voting down the abortion ban, over and over? You DO NOT allow Missouri citizens to control the government they fund.

Does MO still elect any non-slimeballs, or is it pretty much just guys like you?

I vote in every election because Missouri Republicans in 2026 are still making laws about womens’ bodies and cheating to silence our petitions, votes and voices.
[….]

We are voting Denny. And don’t worry we will be voting out your precious map

Get his name out of your mouth and off your meme.

You are a horrible slimey disgusting American traitor.

That’s rich coming for you.

Not in Missouri.

That explains why you try so hard to overturn our votes.

God you’re a hypocrite

Now that’s a ratio.

The thing is, he doesn’t care.

Denny Hoskins (r) [2022 file photo].

On social media, from the official Missouri Secretary of State social media page:

Missouri Secretary of State
[October 21, 2026]

With ELECTION DAY less than two weeks away, some words of wisdom President Lincoln delivered to Congress at the onset of the Civil War. His message underscored the importance of free and fair elections.
In that spirit, Secretary of State Denny Hoskins encourages all of those eligible to vote in the November 3 election, and reminds everyone that no-excuse absentee voting is underway.
#Vote
sos.mo.gov/elections

On the importance of voting

Ballots are the rightful and peaceful successors of bullets. – Abraham Linoln

Denny Hoskins, CPA

Uh, dog whistle anyone?

Some of the responses:

You are a f*ck, aren’t you.
Your post hints at veiled violence.

When can we expect to see daily updates to the website on early vote totals?

agree. Right now 46 states are providing some degree of early vote info. At minimum the number of Voters. Several states do provide data on registration status, gender, age and race or race or ethnicity. I don’t care that we don’t provide any of those but I want up to date daily totals posted publicly like the rest of the states do. I don’t trust our secretary of state any further then I could throw him and I’m a very old lady with a very small throw

Missourians, beware. This appears to be a calculated attempt at political provocation.
By invoking Lincoln’s comparison of ballots and bullets just days before an election, Secretary of State Denny Hoskins is using rhetoric that could bait an angry individual into making a threat, allowing him to recast himself as the victim of political intimidation.
This is not the first time his political rhetoric has raised such concerns.
Do not take the bait. Challenge his conduct, scrutinize his decisions, and hold him publicly accountable. But do not give him the threatening response that could be used to manufacture a narrative of political persecution.
Political accountability, not manufactured martyrdom.

he’s an idiot and tried to steal our right to vote on propositions!

Hoskin belongs in prison. No bullets necessary.

Well said. Mo Republicans want violence for a government take over. That is why they ignore our democracy and pose with guns in ads. It isn’t about 2a or they would advocate for small govwernment. It is also noted that DHS is now knocking on resident’s door in KC and STL to “catch voter fraud”. IF there is voter fraud in Missouri that is Hoskins fault. He is in charge of elections. So much for small government. The Mo Republicans are treading all over us, the State and US constitution. This is why we vote in every election up and down the entire ballot. This is why we show up loudly non-violently to speak up again and again at city, county, and State meetings and local community gatherings.
[….]

Yeah when they are respected and not in gerrymandered districts

Practice what you preach buddy. You tried to take our right to vote on a proposition because “YOU” didn’t like it. It is our privilege to vote on them ALL.

“Fair elections” is respecting the voters, which you have not and we are forced to vote AGAIN because you didn’t like the outcome. What happens when you don’t like the outcome AGAIN???? 🤷🏼‍♀️

Where does cheating and ignoring the will/vote of the people fall, Denny?

Says the man who got punished by SCOTUS and MO courts for screwing over voters. Oh, the Republicans left the principals of Missouri President General Grant and Illinois President Lincoln a long time ago.
[….]

This has gone beyond being a sore loser. This is volatile behavior.

Says the dude who tried to subvert that process, illegally, until the courts held him accountable.

Hoskins, please just quit.
The people of Missouri, the MO and US Supreme courts are done with your games.

Are you threatening violence? It sure seems so.

This feels like when someone incessantly posts bible verses/passages but actively supports the indisputably most corrupt and closest living person to the actual devil himself. *cough* Ann Wagner *cough*

Denny you have proven repeatedly that you do not care about voter, their privacy, will, or integrity. Get off your soap box before you fall off.

Denny, what have I told you about invoking civil war dialogue into electoral politics.
Shame on you.
Missouri had a specific place/position in the civil war that should NOT be ignored, nor should it be invoked during voting.
My Great,great grandfather was the last surviving member of Union veterans in Missouri.
He immigrated here at 15, lied about his age, and fought the white enslaving plantation owners with his life, and WE WON.
I AM PROUD OF HIM LYING AND FIGHTING for the Union.
You are treading on sacred space and invoking violence where none should be present.
Not to mention, you’re a common schoolyard bully who targets transgender children and queer families out of public spaces.
You are ANTI-democracy and ANTI-American.
Shame on you, Denny.
Shame on you.
[….]

Mr. Zero Credibility chimes in with a Lincoln quote. Ha.

A disgrace to the office, resign loser

You are an embarrassment

From the guy who walks around with a bat? Can you not?

Then maybe you should respect our votes.

“Oh, a bullshit artist.”

Mark Alford (r) [2024 file photo].

Today:

Congressman Mark Alford
[October 19, 2026]

SHOW-ME RESULTS 🇺🇸
I’ve been fighting to lower fuel costs and make life more affordable for Missouri families. That’s why I voted YES for year-round E-15. It means more American-made fuel options, lower prices at the pump, and a stronger market for our farmers.
Real savings for drivers. Real support for rural Missouri. ⛽🌽🇺🇸
[….]

Some of the responses:

Trumps WAR the one he started all on his own saying it would take a week and was not really a war. Is responsible for the gas prices.

Is the affordability in the room with us now?

Where is this fuel available? All stations?

Being from rural Missouri, I know a whole lot of farmers. But I don’t know a single one who is as excited about diesel being almost $6 a gallon (and more in some places) as Mark Alford. The illegal Iran War is disproportionately harming our rural communities, but Alford supports it anyway. Vote Herrera for Congress!

Is this the Onion?

Sadly, no.

Talk to your leader tell him to turn Starlink back on for Ukraine🤬

Слава Україн

There’s literally no way the increase in taxes per paycheck equates what I pay for insurance every payday. I don’t understand people being so against universal healthcare.
I just finished open enrollment for 2027, and I’m paying over $10,000 next year for medical, dental, vision, and life insurance for a family of 5. And that’s not including deductible and copay. Estimates suggest a 4% tax increase on the average household to fund a single payer healthcare system. Medicare for All would save me about $7,000 as well as prevent over 100,000 deaths.

Ethanol as gasoline is a terrible energy policy. It takes 1.17 units of energy to create 1 unit of energy as ethanol. While it reduces demand for crude it increases the demand for natural gas.

Science! Facts!

1 acre of solar panels can propel an EV 80-120x farther than an acre of corn grown for ethanol. With no annual inputs. For 25-30 years…

What about truckers, Mike? Will there be socialism for them too?

most cars can’t use this fuel. So for most no help

Congressman Mark Alford Judging by the prices, I am concerned about your ability as a fighter for farmers and American Families.

Today:

Exactly the same as shrinkflation. Not fooling anyone. Let’s Math out the “fuel efficiency” on your proposal. It won’t pass scrutiny.

No new wars

Congress held 6 voting sessions to end the Iran war. Congressman Mark Alford and the majority of Republicans voted no all 6 times. The war is causing a huge increase in gasoline and diesel prices . Now Mark wants to boast about offering a drop of help that does nothing to lower high prices he caused. It’s time to elect someone who will vote to end the war.
[….]

This, right here!!!

Midterms Approaching Propaganda and significant self-promotion.

Where can we find these prices?
No worries, I’m not expecting you to answer since we all know they don’t exist.

The photo shows regular gas at $2.94 a gallon – which was in February, 2024 when BIDEN WAS PRESIDENT.

By affordable you mean literally double from last year…

I just put $20 in my tank this morning. Barely gave me a quarter tank. When Biden was president, that $20 would last me a whole week. Now, I’ll be lucky to get two days.

And it lowers your mpg by about 5%. So have to buy more gas.

Fuel Prices by Grade Oct 19 2026
• Regular Unleaded: $3.93 – $3.95 / gallon
• Mid-Grade: $4.29 / gallon
• Premium: $4.65 / gallon
• Diesel: $6.01 – $6.30 / gallon
Feb 2025 Missouri avg gas price was $2.84 for regular unleaded.
I use 2 tanks a week to commute to work.
So every month, I pay $133 more thanks to Trump’s war.
[….]

How about get us out this war?

Until the illegal war against Iran has ended (which you have it in your power to do if you vote against it), fuel prices will remain higher. Increasing E-15 usage will increase repair frequency, as well as increase food costs: every acre harvested costs more using expensive diesel.

$6.19 per gallon 10-19-26

Rubber Stamp Alford 😂

You’re a joke

Maybe you should try voting to end the war that actually caused the fuel prices to rise.. dumb ass.

These kinds of posts alone should tell you that Alford isn’t fit for office.

Confirming your incompetence again? 🤡

You forget to mention, when using E85 gasoline, your vehicles fuel economy goes down 15% to 27%. A great accomplishment for republican maggat CULT representatives would be getting fuel costs down to where they were the day JOE BIDEN LEFT OFFICE. Those price levels are a DISTANT DREAM for republicans that could take years under their leadership.

This post shows you that Mark Alford just parrots what his corporate campaign donors tell him and doesn’t take 5 minutes to research what he’s talking about.

Alford must be taking advantage of Missouri’s recreational weed availability again. He’s not making any sense.

I’m guessing you learned arithmetic from one of the public schools you voted to defund.

So once again you prove you lack basic math skills you pathetic sycophant

Grow up FFS.

Vehicles that run on sunshine are superior for almost every application. Enjoy your $6 diesel, maga.
[….]

You’re a joke…. You got Hegseth spending $90 billion dollars to DOUBLE fuel prices…. And no end in sight…. Corrupt…and… like the recently sacked press secretary….. UTTERLY incompetent.

Is this satire?
Seriously?
I wish I could see if you were posting this with a straight face.
You think we are all LYING about high prices?
You think every single one of us can’t see with our own eyes and wallets what we are paying for when we go get gas?

Are you that fucking stupid. Fuck you Mark!

So you want us to be using RUSSIAN oil?
BTW my nephew just got sent back to the Middle East (Air Force). He wont be home until next July at the earliest. Wasn’t this supposed to be a war that only lasted a week or so?? His poor baby girl has seen him 2 out of her 6 months on this Earth.
[….]

If only your party’s leader hadn’t have started a war against Iran…

Who is this ad for? Good Lord Alford is a putz. If you vote for him you get what you deserve. He obviously has driven around his district or MO in general.

Maybe if Mark Alford paid for his own food, gas and healthcare then he would have a clue about what people are dealing with today.

WTF have Republicans done to lower fuel costs???

This guy clueless and always has been. Look at how he has voted on health care

Congressman Mark Alford supports attacking a proven US ally, destroying Ukraine’s infrastructure and killing citizens. Mark Alford is on the side of PUTIN. Mark Alford is a traitor to the US Constitution and the people of this land. #UNFITtoSERVE #TakeOutTheAlfordTrash

“Fighting for affordability” while writing off his gas bill to his constituents. He is really feeling the pinch of driving that suburban around rural MO every day.

Yes on 6, the rest are tricks – just like Mark!

F*** you mark.This meme presents a false choice as if capitalism equals freedom. Scripture warns that you cannot serve both God and Mammon, yet capitalism relies entirely on usury, corporate greed, and debt bondage that destroy organic communities. Here in Missouri, we see corporate capitalism and state authority working hand-in-hand, with politicians literally walking around posing with baseball bats to intimidate citizens. Real faith and sound political order reject both state socialism and corporate finance capital they are two sides of the same tyrannical coin, both relying on fear and greed to enforce control.
[….]

High gas prices are 100% the result of Republicans and the Iran War.
And Mar-a-Lago Mark supported all of Trump’s policies, even though he doesn’t have a single constituent in the top 1%. Vote him out.

Dear god, Mark…just stop while you’re way behind.

You definitely put more into the photos you’re posting several times a day than actually accomplishing real results.
Fyi…gas prices have not gone down in Missouri.

You are soooo emotionally abusive, gaslighting your constituents over gas prices.

It’s only unaffordable because you guys sold us out for more endless wars.

Phony Marka typical Trumper spreading more lies

You’re such a failure. 🤣

Show me a bunch of BS messaging; affordable my a**.

Mark’s words are empty, and his actions don’t help Missouri. Vote this liar out.

Not much of a fighter maybe you should try something else.

This Republican Congress has failed to fulfill its constitutional duty to provide meaningful oversight and hold the president accountable.
At a time when the senile president’s words and actions raise serious concerns about judgment, stability, and leadership, Congress has a responsibility to act –
not to stand by in silence, put party loyalty above country, or shirk its obligations.

Or you could have just voted No for the iran war right?? RIGHT????

You didn’t do shit about diesel. That’s where the real cost comes from since all shipping relies on it. The US produces enough diesel to supply ourselves, but you Republicans won’t pass bills to restrict their price gouging.
Also yay, more ethanol to screw up my engine! Thanks, Marky Mark!

Growing an acre of corn produces less energy than an acre of solar.
Look for a new job.
