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!
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
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.
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.
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 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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
This makes my blood boil. And makes me more determined than ever to KEEP GOING. Thanks Jess.

Thanks Jess! Very glad you told this story!
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....
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.
I agree, Jess we have to be aware. Thanks for sharing.
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!

Stay strong. Thanks for telling the tale.

Thank you!
The story absolutely should be released to everyone as a warning! What happened to you was so outrageously unjust!😖
The GOP took a play right out of Putin's KGB/FSB handbook. Not surprising.
Makes me furious as hell.

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.
