Aaron Joseph Metzger is not a career politician. He is a CT technologist who has worked at a Joplin hospital, scanning patients through every emergency that does not wait for daylight. Now he is running as the Democratic candidate for Missouri House District 161. Missi Hesketh is not a politician who came to southwest Missouri to run for office. She is from here. With elections around the corner, Missouri voters need to know the dates, deadlines, and requirements before the

This is not a political opinion. It is a documented record, sourced to the nonpartisan international institutions that have been measuring democracy in every country on earth for decades, of where the United States of America stands right now, in June 2026, and how it got here. It has a name, and it is not "democracy." And what you can do today.

†rump told the country he was fighting for them. What he was actually doing was building a machine, assembling the full weight of the federal government into a weapon aimed not at America's enemies, but at America's own people. This is the documented record of how he did it, agency by agency, lie by lie, and with a blueprint that his own people wrote.

She warned you. She showed you exactly who he was and what he would do. She named the tariffs that would empty your wallet, the enemies list that would target truth-tellers, the paramilitary force that would come for your neighbors, and the pedophilic class of wealth and power he has served since the day he took office. This article is the documented proof that Kamala Harris was right about everything, and an honest reckoning with the double standard that put him there instea

THE LONG CON — PART II | A CATN INVESTIGATIVE REPORT The Big Lie: 81 Million Votes, 64 Dismissed Cases, and the Words He Said in Private

Missouri voters head to the polls on August 4, 2026 for the state primary election, and this year the stakes are much higher than most primaries. Here is what is on your ballot and what it means.

Doniphan is a town of roughly 1,800 people in one of the poorest counties in Missouri, where nearly 1 in 3 residents lives below the poverty line, the nearest hospital closed in 2018, and every elected official who represents them is a Republican who has voted for policies that make their lives harder. In 2026, that can change. This guide tells you exactly what is at stake, who is running, what the Republicans have done to this community, and why the Democrats challenging the

Journalists are being arrested, deported, shot with pepper spray bullets, and had their homes raided by federal agents. Mainstream media is barely covering it. Here is the full documented record, and here is where to find the reporters who are willing to tell the truth.

People sometimes ask we why we go so deep into federal policy, Supreme Court rulings, counterterrorism strategies, and congressional maps. Some claim we are wasting our time. Here is our honest answer for you to know what your vote means.

Today, April 29, 2026, the United States Supreme Court completed what scholars are already calling the most consequential rollback of civil rights in a century. In a 6-3 decision in Louisiana v. Callais, the Court's conservative supermajority gutted Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 — the last meaningful legal shield protecting Black, Latino, Native American, and Asian American voters from racially discriminatory electoral maps. What you CAN still do.

These scripts and templates are ready to use for Voting Rights. Find your senators at senate.gov and use these to email and/or call your representative and senators.

Missouri Republicans, at direct instruction from †rump, have gerrymandered a Black congressman's district out of existence, put the abortion rights voters just won up for repeal, and are now trying to make sure citizens can never use the ballot initiative process to fight back again. This is the 2026 playbook. And Missouri is ground zero.

Access. Affordability. Accountability. Southwest Missouri deserves all three from its representative in Congress. For three-plus years, Eric Burlison has delivered none of them. Missi Hesketh is running to change that.

Missi Hesketh, running for Congress in Missouri's District 7, will be at the Town Hall TONIGHT. Be there!

April 7 came and went. Some results hurt. Some inspired. And now, with August 4 on the horizon, southwest Missouri Democrats cannot afford to sit this one out. Here, we break down everything that happened on April 7 — from SB 3 to the Joplin City Council race that is still not officially called — and lays out exactly who we are voting for and why on August 4.

The Jasper County Municipal General Election is this Tuesday, April 7, 2026. Polls are open 6:00 AM to 7:00 PM. If you are white, you have something many of your neighbors, coworkers, and fellow Americans do not have right now: the ability to walk into a polling place without fear. Not because you are more of a citizen. Not because you have more rights. But because of the color of your skin and because this Regime has made it very clear that it intends to use that fear as a

On the evening of March 31, 2026 — the same day eight million Americans were still celebrating the largest protest in U.S. history — Donold †rump signed an executive order targeting the way Americans vote. Not the way undocumented people vote. The way you vote. The way your neighbor votes. The way your grandmother votes from her assisted living facility.

Since January 2025, independent researchers and global democracy watchdogs have documented an unprecedented erosion of American democratic institutions — and are now asking a question the Founders never wanted asked lightly: does systematically dismantling the constitutional order constitute treason?

"We're the only country that does mail-in voting. Mail-in voting means mail-in cheating. I call it mail-in cheating." — DONALD TRUMP, MEMPHIS CRIME ROUNDTABLE, MARCH 23, 2026 ⚠ FALSE

From a Fox Business confession in August 2020 to a bill now moving through the United States Senate, this is the documented record of one man's systematic campaign to eliminate the voting method that threatens his party's grip on power — and why November 2026 is the deadline to stop it.
