This morning:

Congressman Mark Alford
[February 13, 2026]

This Black History Month, we had a great visit to the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum—the world’s only museum dedicated to recognizing the tremendous contributions of African Americans in professional baseball. ⚾️
[….]

Some of the responses:

Where is any of the staff? I have visited several times always a diverse crowd.

I was gonna say….

why are there four white guys in that picture

Taking a picture at NLBM with 4 white guys is peak irony. #magmdei 🤣

I was thinking the same thing. 😂 Laughable.

Performative. Everyone can see right through it.

Will the rump administration try to censure this museum’s exhibits like the numerous other ones it has deemed unacceptable??

You mean photo op of old white men

Not 1 Black man in sight..🤦‍♂️🤣🤣🤣

Isn’t that a risky place for you to be. Team Klan … I mean Team Trump may think you’re going woke

Heh.

Did you learn ANYTHING??

Dayam.

Field trip #137, more tax dollars for Alford’s meals, gas allowance, etc.
Tell me how this helps the people of Missouri, your constituents. Just a group of white guys acting like they’re being supportive — kind of like when your silly ass posts a religious verse on Sundays (or Saturday, if you don’t want to post on Sunday).
P.S. Don’t forget to share a picture with your wife, some roses, and let us all know how much you love her, and that she’s your rock. Can’t wait……….

=====

We could have a black history day that we don’t need a whole month of black history or a whole month of gay pride. If you wanna have a whole month of something, let’s have a whole month for our Veterans

there is a whole month for veterans

=====

Congressman Mark Alford: Visited the museum twice within 30 days. Why? You support a racist President. Since you do, it makes you one.

As he votes to fund DHS and concentration camps. Bad enough being a racist and a Nazi Mark but a hypocrite too.

Ey bro… Respectfully, on behalf of the black Missourians who feel about u as i do (a vast majority) FUCK U! Respectfully, the bullshit u support harms the black community. Respectfully, u don’t get to use my whole community as a token. Respectfully, go find some self hating, KOONta Kinte (the opposite of the great Roots character Kunta Kinte), shuckin and jivin, double minstrel, oppression loving black person to be ur token.

Was this before or after you voted to pass the SAVE Act and hoped to disenfranchise working class voters?
Your hypocrisy is showing!

Great museum! Terrible representative!

You will exploit anything for votes.

Burn in hell alford

We cannot hear you over THE SOUND OF DONALD TRUMP’S GUILT.

Dayam.

How hypocritical of you. You stood by and did nothing while MO reps gerrymandered the maps duluting their representation. Funny how you go on a field trip to the Negro Baseball Musuem but only post photos of old white men. They should have never even let you in the doors. Counting the days till you are replaced.

4 white racists trying to show they aren’t racist.

Be careful your 🍊cult leader doesn’t approve

Yesterday:

Congressman Mark Alford
[April 23, 2025]
Amazing visit with the folks at Tyler Coupling–a manufacturing plant in Marshfield, Missouri.
The consolidation of one of its California locations in 2022 led to the decision to grow its southwest Missouri location, which now houses 308 employees. The company’s Missouri manufacturing processes include the production of traditional couplings, both standard-duty products and heavy-duty. to both standard-duty and heavy-duty products. We got to meet with the company’s leadership team and community leaders as they shared their vision.
Later this week, we’ll be posting a video on the tour through the gasket lab, tooling room, and areas of the step-by-step coupling assembly process–stay tuned!
[….]

From the social media post [detail]:

Oh. Canada.

There was much hilarity in the social media responses:

Donor? Do you plan to UPHOLD the CONSTITUTION or simply regurgitate the excuses for shipping US prisoners to a torture camp in a 3rd country, then rolling over and playing dead… what’s so “great” about THAT chickensh*t excuse?? If the US is SOOOO damned “great”, since when did we knuckle under to a teeny tiny country to whom we SOLD HUMANS.

tv “personalities” don’t read much. Or write their own copy. But they seem to think they’re qualified to govern. Sad, ain’t it?

better than a Democrat senator flying to another country to meet with a gang member who’s not an American and doing it on taxpayer money.

Uh. Fascist pornography (April 16, 2025)

Cool. Think you could do your damn job for 5 minutes and stand up to Trump and Musk, or should we let them continue setting up concentration camps for American citizens?

Mr photo op at it again. No action, just pictures.

I miss when the economy was booming, stocks were soaring, and we actually funded cancer research…
Three months ago.

Heh. We see what you did there.

How many people will they have to lay off because of Trump’s tariffs?

Did you notice the Canadian flag in one of the photos?

The parent company has 2 foundries in Quebec.

Photo-ops on my dime, but no time to take care of your constituents or the many challenges facing our state and communities. Typical worthless republican.

Why don’t you post how badly they’ve been affected by the tariffs.

How will tariffs affect this company Congressman Mark Alford?

Well at least he had another picture with the thumbs up. Good job Mark. Do you have a photographer with you at all times?

Actually, yes. That’s standard for members of Congress. Usually a staffer.

How did they say the tariffs might impact them?

No more Public meetings with the public.

Mark alford. With all due disrespect, please go straight to hell

Mark Alford
Cisco Kidd thanks for the all due respect. May God richly bless you.

Missed it by…that much.

Yuk it up while you can. GOP whiplash will be epic.

And you want to lower the standards so the workers get injured and have zero recourse.

Spineless trump puppet, nothing to see here

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

I see that you changed your American flag 🇺🇸 pin out for a gold boot licking tRump pin!
Why would you do that?
I’ll tell you why! You NO LONGER UPHOLD YOUR OATH TO THE CONSTITUTION!!!
You have bought into the GOLDEN CALF !
Not very Christian of you!

Actually, it’s a Congressional pin [in the photographs]. All members of Congress wear those pins.

There’s that flag from the 51st state. Doing nothing would be better than what you do.

Again, no open public town halls in the district

Q: “Has anyone seen Vicky Hartzler?”

A: “She’s speaking at a useless out-of-state republican photo-op.”

Representative Vicky Hartzler (r) [2016 file photo].

This afternoon:

Rep. Vicky Hartzler @RepHartzler
Republicans are united in solving the #BidenBorderCrisis.

We’re here on the ground. Where are Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and Democrats?
[….]
4:27 PM · May 24, 2021

Heh. No masks?

No time or effort put into an open public town hall in the 4th Congressional District?

As always, the responses are hilarious:

You had years to do something about it and you just made it worse.

There’s that.

They’re doing their jobs. Where are you? At the border? Why is the MO rep dicking about at the border with Mexico and not here, dealing with REAL problems?

Not doing pointless photo ops that solve nothing?

1/6/2021. We remember.

Joe and Kamala are taking care of business not going stunts for photo ops yoy hypocrite.

Are they, were they? Can you show us the republicans immigration and security package they proposed and laid forth a sweeping overhaul of the system and fixed a problem that even Reagan called a crisis 50 yrs ago? Or is that a bill that was to come after their healthcare reform?

You think doing photo ops for your pretend “crisis” is solving anything?

Rep. Vicky Hartzler @RepHartzler
What a great way to start the day meeting with our @Missouri_NG!

We are ever thankful for their efforts and look forward to the near future when they can return home to their families.

This you?: Rep. Vicky Hartzler (r): gaslighter (January 7, 2021)

“…protestors…”

A few responses:

#sedetionist sez, “What?”

remind me again why they’re away from their families?

The danger is within.

Did you tell them that the reason they are away from home is because of you?

Yesterday, in Washington:

Photos of the Great World War II Memorial Rebellion of 2013

By David Weigel

Three buses of World War II veterans (and some volunteers) arrived at the World War II Memorial at 11 a.m. Almost all were from Missouri or Illinois, according to Honor Flight, which charters and runs these journeys for aging veterans. Before we descend into the mucky-muck of politics, let’s remember that it should be about these guys….

….Now, on to the great Optics wars. The Mall in Washington is currently sort-of-kind-of blocked off to tourists. At various points, flimsy barricades prevent them from entering memorials….

….At 11 a.m., when the Honor Flight-ers arrived, members of Congress gathered in front of the entrance closest to the tour buses and made a show of rolling back the barricade….

….This was half-welcome, half-irritating. Sen. Claire McCaskill talked openly about how annoying it was for members of Congress whose states weren’t even represented in the delegation to take up space at the entrance….

Not noticed, so much:

The nine most painful impacts of a government shutdown

By Brad Plumer, Published: October 3 at 6:12 am

….There are some 1,600 Head Start programs around the country providing education, health, nutrition and other services to roughly 1 million low-income children and their families. Those will slowly begin closing during a shutdown.

Initially, only about 20 programs would be affected – the programs whose federal grants expire on Oct. 1 and don’t get renewed. Over time, more programs would likely be affected. The effects really vary from community to community….
