These types of situations are not political. Are there some politics involved? The answer is yes. When it comes to threats the political side of it doesn't matter. Threats have legal conciseness that come with them and can be very serious. The Justice Dept needs to get into threat investigations

Mary Ann Bittle

It's definitely ~very~ political, sadly. The MO GQP (formerly GOP) is really intent on protecting their KKK White Supremacist activities; no way they'd want to have qualified investigators involved.

HazmatTravis

When there are dangerous White Supremecists making threats at our the most local levels of government, yes, somebody should do something about it.

We are so fortunate that this socialist Garland did not get selected for the SCOTUS.

School board members should not be threatened because of differences of opinion. People should learn to disagree in a more civilized manner

They are already stretched too thin, while harassing Americans for other reasons.

Lisa Gore

The MO school board association yesterday separated from the NSBA who owes millions in backtaxes while Biden’s admin gave the leader of corrupt NBSA a high level position in his cabinet. Merrick Garland head of Justice Department’s son has a company promoting CRT. It’s personal Conflict of Interest!

Adam Schrader

Doj has enough other things to look into. Trump, Steve Bannon, Proud Boys, etc.

Cleaning up all the bloat, fraud and corruption in our federal government all while helping with the massive over spending causing inflation.

Tim Kennedy

People need to get back to acting on what’s good for The country and sop asking what the country can do for them. We are in a me society we need to get back to a we society.

Scott Keel

Long overdue!!!!

Eric Smith

Absolutely! Long overdue.

Maria Gose

Accountability is way past due. Keep forging forward .

Melissa Hill

I think government spending has gotten out of control and needs over site and their own audit.

James Lucas

The Democrats, since Clinton have talked about doing what DOGE is not doing. Yes, Clinton and Obama did some EO, but always gave more lip service than action. Now we have action from Republicans' and still Democrat lip service.

Max DeYoung

Best thing that's ever happened for our government.

Rodney Scott

I don't support. Things I'm against: 1)They feed women crumbs to nibble, as a tactic to keep us thinking we aren't losing rights.2)Racism & hate is worse &must go.3)Hacked in to sensitive info, causing safetyconcerns. 4)Defunded and fired many. No jobs+No $=economy toworsen. 5)They're clueless.

Max DeYoung

You just defined a democrat.

Ellen Jarvis

Think before you act!

Connie B.

Horrible what they are doing to people. I don't understand how firing people would take care of fraud and abuse. They are stripping people of their livelihoods and it will come back at us because the government will have to cover their unemployment stipends and we will have many more homeless ppl.

Max DeYoung

That's the problem. You don't understand.

About 14.5% of the US workforce, or 20.2 million people, work in the public sector. This includes state, local, and federal government employees. That's way to many people working at a job that produces nothing.

Fat Guy Outdoors

Maybe you should turn of the news and research. Why pay 5 people to do the job of 1. Why keep lazy employees who don't produce when you can keep highly productive workers and increase there pay. See its called rewarding hard work and punishing lazy people. Hard work does pay off.

Elon is not an elected official, not even a cleared contractor for what he is doing. This sabotages democracy.

Max DeYoung

Elon is only exposing criminals. He is doing nothing else. Become informed, instead of brainwashed.

Max DeYoung

While often categorized as a democracy, the United States is more accurately defined as a constitutional federal republic.

Fat Guy Outdoors

Just like Dr. Fauci right.

Ashley Edelen

Unilateral decisions from the Executive branch cannot go unchecked (on BOTH “sides”). Just like when Biden shouldn’t have bypassed the SC with student loan forgiveness. Democracy is fragile and we cannot lean towards dictatorship.

Fat Guy Outdoors

Please explain how exposing fraud, waste and abuse is harming democracy in a republic?
