Submitting signatures to force a referendum on a state law is not enough to suspend a new state law, a Cole County judge ruled Friday in a decision that means Missouri’s gerrymandered congressional map is in effect. #moleg #mogov missouriindependent.com/2026/03/27/jud…

NEW — Republican Rep. Sam Graves, the chairman of the House Committee on Transportation, is withdrawing his paperwork seeking re-election in Missouri’s Sixth Congressional District on Friday. “I think it is time for me to step down,” Graves said in an interview. “I filed for re-election, and I was still kind of evaluating…my next chapter in life, and what that might look like.” He said he made the decision earlier this week. He is joining dozens of other lawmakers who are retiring from Congress at the end of this term. Graves is leaving after 13 terms. wsj.com/politics/elect…






Your Eminence, I’ve tried calling you and texting you multiple times since the February 9th hearing on antisemitism which you and Bishop Barron were absent from. I wished to discuss this with you privately. But again, unfortunately, you’ve provided zero response to me. However, today, you publicly made the post which I am replying to now. You have publicly stated that you agree with Bishop Barron’s recently issued statements wholeheartedly. Please answer this question: Why did you say to me in person on September 8th 2025, at 8:26 in the morning, “if they are going to remove you for your support of the Palestinians in Gaza, then they will try to remove me too”? I explained to you at this meeting, that I was being asked to resign from the commission by the White House at the behest of our colleague’s Paula White and Dan Patrick. You expressed that you were shocked I was asked to resign in August because of my Catholic position on Zionism, and outspoken support of innocent human life in Gaza. You fully supported me as indicated by your words. I had expressed to both you and Bishop Barron months before the February hearing that I was asked to be removed from this commission due to my Catholic beliefs and my support of the Palestinians in Gaza. Both of you said that would never happen. But it did. Can you please explain to me and to all Catholics the meaning of this apparent contradiction? If there is no contradiction between what you said to me in August and why I’m presently removed, then please explain. I believe I was removed from the religious liberty commission in February for the same reasons I was asked to resign in August.


BREAKING -- Missouri Supreme Court rules 4-3 that last year's mid-decade redistricting special session was legal. The ruling, on its face, appears to grant lawmakers broad authority to redraw map lines at their pleasure. Story tk #moleg #mogov


Medicaid fraud is estimated to be $100 BILLION. @DrOz: “There are 20 times more durable medical equipment providers in South Florida than McDonald's.” We are just scratching the surface of fraud in this country.

Conservatives who attend church weekly are the least likely to have ever been diagnosed with a mental health condition. Liberals who have low attendance are the most likely to have a diagnosis.


I'm proud to endorse my friend and fellow conservative warrior @RickBrattin for Missouri's new 5th Congressional District! Rick and I fought side by side in the MO Senate to protect kids, defend the 2nd Amend., and lower taxes. President Trump needs MAGA fighters like Rick in Congress. #MAGA #MO05
