Our new ad is running now. Ann has worked hard for the banks and rich while ignoring her constituents. I know what public service is supposed to be because I’ve done it my entire life as a soldier, veterans advocate, and COVID field hospital leader. I’m going to DC to fight for working people. @WellmanForMO

How spiritually bankrupt and morally depraved do you have to be to condition aid for veterans on the outcome of an election? What a small, desperate, power hungry man.
Trump on Camp Lejeune water contamination claims: "If we win the House and Senate, I am directing the Department of Justice to settle all remaining legitimate claims as soon as possible ... if we don't win, there's no money."

Trump: We were in the midst of negotiating and a lot of stupid people said why aren’t you putting Russian sanctions— Collins: But you said you didn’t give anything for his release Trump: If I didn’t do that, you wouldn’t have him coming back. Collins: So you did give something. Trump: You don’t know anything. You’re fake news CNN. Collins: You’re saying you lifted the sanctions in exchange for his release? Trump: You don’t know what you’re talking about. You’re a low IQ person. You’re a dummy.

Weird we can’t find any videos of Ann being this upset about costs in the last two years. It’s almost like she doesn’t care as much when Trump is in charge.
"The moms in my district can't find baby formula, OK? They can't afford to fill up their cars with gas." — Rep. Ann Wagner (R-MO) asks Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen what her department is doing to address inflation.

Absolutely disgusting action by Trump. He’s literally holding our veterans and families hostage for politics.
Donald Trump just told Veterans poisoned by toxic water at Camp Lejeune that they’ll only get the money they’re owed if Republicans win the midterms. These are Marines and their families who drank contaminated water for decades, got cancer, and have been begging the government for relief. But when Trump visits them for a rally, his only message is: vote my way or you get nothing. That's desperate and disgusting behavior from our Commander In Chief.

The Columbus Dispatch Editorial Board just endorsed Democratic candidate Dr. Amy Acton for Ohio governor. The board sharply criticized GOP nominee Vivek Ramaswamy, calling his aggressive campaign tactics—specifically an attack ad involving Acton's estranged mother—disqualifying.
JD Vance just held an outrageous news conference in which he defended Ramaswamy's vile attacks on Amy Acton, agreed with Steve Witkoff's assessment of Putin as a "humanitarian," and had the gall to claim "there is no person who hates the idea of people enriching themselves fraudulently over access to the government than Donald J Trump" Here's a supercut:

“The HMP memo said its polling found Rep. Ann Wagner (R-Missouri) down by 1 point to Democrat Fred Wellman, who outraised Wagner last quarter.” 13 days out and we’re on the brink of flipping a seat held by Republicans for over a generation and a half. We’re not done yet.
Washington Sun: Major Democratic Super PAC Begs Donors for More Cash The flagship Democratic House super PAC is urging donors to pony up more cash in the final sprint before the midterms, pointing to private polling showing a slew of deep-red House seats within the party’s reach. House Majority PAC told donors in a private memo that recent polling ‘shows that with additional resources, even more expansion seats are within reach.’ The memo included polling data from 13 districts that President Donald Trump won by 8 to 21 percentage points in 2024, all of which shows those congressional races now in margin-of-error fights. washingtonsun.com/campaigns/…

Ann Wagner and her outside dark money can attack me all day long but it still doesn't answer the fundamental question of this campaign: Where is Ann? Where has she been while prices skyrocket? Where has she been as corruption explodes? Where has she been amidst the chaos? It's not about me. It's about 14 years of hiding from her constituents. I'm not hiding. Why is she? @Wellmanformo fox2now.com/news/hancock-kel…

I have been warning about this for a long time! Trump aspires to fascism. The question is whether he will be enabled to get there.
A small group of U.S. national security officials has been discreetly advising state and congressional lawmakers on how to prepare for the possibility that the Trump administration will attempt to interfere in the midterms, according to people involved. wapo.st/3WjVke5

That’s weird. Ann has never needed help before. I wonder what those two polls she ran last quarter said?
Wow CLF made a $650K buy in #MO02 for GOP Rep Ann Wagner This is a Trump +8 seat but has gotten little attention before now. Dem nominee Fred Wellman outraised Wagner last quarter
