Not my first race...and I'm pacing myself. Thank you so much.

Just thrilled to have the support of fellow veteran Rep. Chris Deluzio for my race for Congress. We are building a coalition of leaders who want to see change for working Americans. I am honored to be part of it. Join us! #TeamWellman

You work for us Karoline. Us. We pay you. Stop lying.

This is absolutely insane. Iran is twice the size of Iraq. It is a vast country with millions of people and competing factions. You are inserting our military in the middle of an absolute disaster of our own making.

I always enjoy sharing time with our labor brothers and sisters. We are building something big here in Missouri and November can't come soon enough.

You would have a very hard time making a parody out of this clown show. The problem is that this clown show is costing my fellow military members their lives. These buffoons have no idea what they are doing.

I am saying that I oppose this war because I am defending the Constitution. The Republicans want to paint us as pro-Iran.

No one is defending Iran. We are defending the Constitution!

This is key. It isn't a 60-day pass to wage unchecked war. It is a means to expedite defense of the nation in an emergency. This is a complete twisting of it by Trump and the Republican Congress. Saying that Iran would have retaliated when Israel attacked them does not make it an imminent threat.

Fred is a friend, a warrior, and the type of leader that these moments desperately need.

Thank you, brother.

You cannot be serious about wanting a military coup. All coups are bad.

Our military deserves our support. Trump, Hegseth, and the Republican Doormat Congress are failing our heroic service members and their families. I won't.

We now know that the Iranian leadership was ready to comply with all of our demands in the negotiations when Trump, Netanyahu, Mohammed Bin Salman decided to attack instead. Our troops and their families deserve leaders that understand their sacrifice. I will. Keep our military in your prayers.

Those of us who have served in the Global War on Terror know the story that this will bring "stability" and broader peace to the region. It was wrong then. I don't believe for a moment it will be true now. Killing begets killing.

Leaders should feel that burden every time they send our men and women into combat. I don't believe Donald Trump, Pete Hegseth or their enablers in the Republican Congress do in any way.

I'm heartbroken by the news of the loss of 3 U.S. service members in the Iran War today. There is nothing more terrifying for our military families than the knock on your door of officers while your loved one is serving. 35 years ago I lost my first men in combat and that weighs on me still today.

I am not running for second! Hope you're doing well.

Please excuse their French, but as a punk-rock kid growing up in Kirkwood, I never thought I’d be this cool. -FW @dropkickmurphys.com

You can't imagine how cool it is to be sitting in the crowd and hear your friend Ken Casey shout you out to the fans right in your district. We are running to win this seat. Thanks @dropkickmurphys.com for all your support of working people and fighting the good fight! @wellmanformo.bsky.social

I've got a couple of friends running for Congress right now — Fred is one of them. Please take a moment to learn more about him and donate to his campaign. 💙

The America I served for 22-years didn't want to be feared. We wanted to be respected and as Ronald Reagan himself said, "the shining city on the hill." These Republicans are all just thugs and bullies.

We have a plan, the right people, and the momentum.

We have a plan. My district is on the target list and is rapidly turning bluer by the day.

We aren't hiding it. I'm a Democrat.
