I’m so pissed, so quickly that even the proverbial frog in the pot of boiling water would have noticed! These incalculably cruel & calculating MoFos are orders of magnitude more corrupt than those in the progressive ecosystem they falsely accuse of harming our country. As usual, outright lies & political hit jobs against those they eschew have made a mockery of our political system.
MAGA thrives on projection & it appears to me that Trump’s denunciation of ‘shithole countries’ has come home to roost in his coiffure of a shithole nest!
Just like that silly ol’ram and the dam…we’ve seen this before -maybe not as blatant but fickle voters , disinformation, lies, and corruption bettered and betterer…
Yes indeed Jess, thank you . No surprise though that’s ’just who they are’ line repeated. I’m not going to try to 1) out think 2) out lie 3) out cast them. I’m just going to be me and help best I can , as history indicates if any of us are still alive ( play in the year 2525 song to this rendition of attempted wit, please) the voters will have seen the light and back again to the Dems we’ll go for yet another round of politics .
Nope we’re not the most corrupt, our claims to fame are the wealthiest, fattest, most heart disease, most incarcerated…to mention a few
We’re likely to survive and feign some fixing the loopholes for yet another round of Good America…
I’ll be up the holler deep in the woods feeding the animules, tending my garden, trying to make back-to-the-land work same as in the 70’s..and balancing bills with happiness . I have enough or was that in the 70’s I’d had enough!
You’re gutsy, smart, female, articulate, likable… oh yes, that’s a recipe for hatred by insecure, dishonest little people (read: many Republicans today). Like tr*mp hated McCain because McCain stands for everything Trump will never be, these folks will hate anyone they can never be. I appreciate you Jess!
A word of caution. Trump and McCain have a great deal in common. We on the left tend to claim him as a saint due to his ACA vote and his military service. He wasn’t really a decent or good man.
I so appreciate the time and energy you put into spreading truth and suggestions on how to wrench our government back from the clutches of the oligarchs and fascists that are out to run us
How could you possibly have known the $30 donation was not legit?
Many people have the same name.
I don't get it.
I do get that GOP has known its voter base has been shrinking since the 1960s, and instead of adjusting to changes in society and to new ideas they decided to win with dirty tricks and propaganda.
Bravo to you for fighting for everyday, honest, hardworking Americans.
Jess, you didn’t know what you didn’t know. You raised a boatload of money. I wonder if you had raised, say $6000, if the R thugs would have sicced the MEC on you. The donation mess was a mistake of oversight, not corruption. It also served to distract attention away from their shenanigans. The only good Republicans are pushing up daisies.
First if all you are a beaken of light in the political darkness that is MAGA these days.
My compliments for your reporting on all Social Media platforms.
The mass psychosis induced by Fax, x.com, and the cowards of the NYT, WaPo help to create a perception for people that Trump and the GOP are not ‘half bad’.
It is a coup happening in slow motion. Merrick Garland failed us big time.
The picture you painted of the political landscape in Red State is a nightmare.
I wish you the best of luck. Stay healthy and stay sane.
That the source of the donation was tracked down surely irritated the heck out of the Republicans responsible for the donation. It’s horribly disappointing that she suffered no consequences for wire fraud, but good for you! I do so admire your gumption and ability to speak truth to power. This dirty trick actually is something that should be on the front page of every major newspaper and shouted from every television news desk. But the best we can do is share and re-stack and do it all over again. Thank you for the brave work you do!
So sorry this fraudulent retaliation happened to you! These people are despicable ! Thank you for trying to better Missouri! All you can do at this point is to keep doing what you are doing! You are fantastic and I love your spirit and determination! Thanks for all you do and have done to make Missouri a better place to live!
That’s the way the Republican Party operates, and it’s sad. I’m still trying to figure out why a convicted felon and rapist was such a good choice to become the President. Thank goodness there wasn’t enough votes in the Senate for Matt Gaetz. Otherwise we would have a suspected sex trafficker in Trumps cabinet. The right definitely doesn’t have a conscious or any morals.
I'm so proud of you, Jess! You have courage and chutzpah. Thanks for alerting us to their chicanery. It's going to be a rough ride for the next four years (and beyond, I suspect). Cheering you on from Iowa.
Thanks Jess, it must be so exhausting being in politics these days...nothing but a mind game and disinformation. What you do is important, and informing voters is important, too...at least it reaches those of us that don't wait until the final week to decide who to vote for. After this election, I am beginning to believe that the US deserves the president they voted for, and until they discover the price they pay for inattention, it was almost inevitable.
Um, I'm an American, and we are not a "they". I don't believe that I or anybody "deserves" a president that doesn't serve us, doesn't care about us, doesn't even consider us. Almost as many of us voted for Harris as voted for Trump. He didn't even get 50% of the national vote, and if a few of the self-important hold-outs had just put democracy before their pet peeves, the outmoded Electoral College very possible would not have had the power it had to choose a President we don't deserve and don't want.
I hope you're not talking about the dumb-shit "they" those clowns had blasting all over the TV day & night. That's not what she meant. And "they" are not the boogie-men anyway. That was nasty propaganda, because the media is not talking to "them"
The GOP are boogie-men and THEY elected a clown back into the White House along with his henchmen. Not those of us who voted for Harris/Walz.
I understand your feelings; I share them. But this is a country that is based on our constitution and if, as a country, we can't educate our voters, or make non-voters care enough to get out and vote, then I think that is exactly what we, as a country, deserve. Whether the rest of us like it or not.
I had a photo of a small squirrel sculpture sporting a VOTE sign rejected from promotion on Instagram once in 2020 and again in 2024. $30 donation? Squirrel sculpture? Pretty pathetic. Clearly the rules only apply to us.
Interestingly, Substack does allow me to post a screenshot of Facebook’s removal of Jess’s article on Robert B. Hubble’s Substack post that referenced said article.
This makes my blood boil. And makes me more determined than ever to KEEP GOING. Thanks Jess.

Remember this:
On November 5, Americans chose:
Lies over truth,
Ignorance over knowledge,
Chaos over order,
Malice over good will,
Division over unity,
Cowardice over courage,
Sleaze over character,
The criminal over the law,
And billionaires over ordinary people.
Proud to be a liberal woman, more than ever!
Proud to wear this totally unhinged radical liberal t-shirt in front of Republicans 👇

We're going to fight against and resist Trump every way we can!
True, true, true. But we're still on the right side of history.

dirty rotten scoundrels - but they show up to church every Sunday to ask for forgiveness. back at Monday morning.
I don't thnk that they even ask for forgibeness because they think that whatever they do is right....
Or by Sunday afternoon.
I don't think they go to church. I really don't.
This makes me so angry. You were targeted and harmed by people with no scruples.
Your perseverance is an inspiration to me, we all benefit from your refusal to give up.
That the source of the donation was tracked down surely irritated the heck out of the Republicans responsible for the donation.

Thank you!
The GOP took a play right out of Putin's KGB/FSB handbook. Not surprising.
Makes me furious as hell.
The story absolutely should be released to everyone as a warning! What happened to you was so outrageously unjust!😖
The St. Louis Dispatch needs to know!
So sorry this fraudulent retaliation happened to you! These people are despicable ! Thank you for trying to better Missouri! All you can do at this point is to keep doing what you are doing! You are fantastic and I love your spirit and determination! Thanks for all you do and have done to make Missouri a better place to live!
I agree, Jess we have to be aware. Thanks for sharing.
That’s the way the Republican Party operates, and it’s sad. I’m still trying to figure out why a convicted felon and rapist was such a good choice to become the President. Thank goodness there wasn’t enough votes in the Senate for Matt Gaetz. Otherwise we would have a suspected sex trafficker in Trumps cabinet.

Stay strong. Thanks for telling the tale.

Jess: I posted your article on Facebook but the comment was removed for violating Community Standards.
I’d post a screenshot of their response here, but Substack won’t let me.
Thank you for what you do!
Thank you for letting me know. It has been blocking more and more of my posts.
I had a photo of a small squirrel sculpture sporting a VOTE sign rejected from promotion on Instagram once in 2020 and again in 2024. $30 donation? Squirrel sculpture? Pretty pathetic. Clearly the rules only apply to us.

Like I needed another reason to deactivate my account
I wonder if Bluesky would reject it? Might be worth a try
