Still waiting for @AGCHanaway. Take a look at the number of MO media markets affected by this!

@KMOV @jmannies Odd that the story doesn’t also talk about closures. Like #webview=1&cap=swipe" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">fox2now-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/fox2now.co…

St. Louis was once among the strongest manufacturing centers in the U.S., producing cars, clothing and household goods for the nation. But as American manufacturing shifted overseas, St. Louis lost much of the industry that made it great. Now, some of t... firstalert4.com/2026/05/01/fir…

Our Savior Jesus Christ taught us how to relate to one another. The great commandments in the law, He taught, were to love—God and neighbor. (Matthew 22:37-39)

@stlpolitics Would a school that adopted a policy addressing antisemitism but not similar behavior regarding other religions be violating the Missouri or US constitution?

Missouri schools must adopt antisemitism policies under law signed by Kehoe stltoday.com/news/local/art…

@AGCHanaway Endorsing federal involvement in Missouri elections? That’s quite the departure from Mo SoS Jay Ashcroft who pulled Missouri out of even a joint state effort to promote voter registration integrity.

Read the motion to intervene here: ago.mo.gov/missouri-attor…

Missouri will not allow partisan gamesmanship to diminish, dilute, or harm the integrity of our elections. We are leading a coalition of 12 states in a motion to intervene to defend @POTUS’s common sense executive order from legal attacks by progressive states and activists.

@JudgeDillard @AppellateDaily @DietCoke_Esq My approach (when I have or make the time) is to read the brief backwards—that is, reading paragraph by paragraph from the end to the beginning. Better yet, read it sentence by sentence starting with the last sentence in the conclusion.

Nah. It happens to even the best lawyers (and judges). I will offer you a tip that has helped me catch many a typo over the years. Once you’re ready to file your brief, save it under another name, change and increase the font, and then re-read it one more time (preferably in a different environment than normal). It’s like reading an entirely different document.

Just found a typo in something I filed. Estoppel is spelled estopple in TWO (2) PLACES. The judge probably thinks I’m stupid

TRUMP SAID YESTERDAY THAT (quote follows): “THE RUSSIAN CONSTITUTION IS MUCH BETTER THAN THE AMERICAN ONE. Putin told me he never has any problems with his constitution.” — THAT’S A QUOTE, DAMN IT! “Russia has much better constitution writers than we do,” he said. “I talked to Putin, and he said their constitution never gives him problems.”

For one of my college geography classes I measured temperatures, looking for a heat island. Maybe I should repeat the exercise. This looks far more dramatic than the few degrees difference I found in my hometown.

@AGCHanaway If upheld, this blows a big hole in Missourians’ constitutional right to referendum.

A win on all counts. The Missouri FIRST Map remains in effect.

@AGCHanaway Splitting fewer counties and municipalities doesn’t make it more compact.

Today’s ruling by Judge Stumpe regarding the Missouri FIRST Map is a GREAT win for Missourians. Although certification has yet to be determined, the court rightly recognized that the Missouri FIRST Map splits fewer counties and municipalities, and is thus more compact than the prior congressional map. We remain steadfast in our commitment to protect the constitutional, lawfully enacted Missouri FIRST Map.

“Under no circumstances shall any county or political subdivision make an adjustment under this subsection to result in any reduction in funding to the public schools within, or serving, such county or political subdivision.”

He claims that the proposal protects public school funds. But it seems to only protect schools from reduction in local sales tax revenue (if any) they now get, not from reduction in state assistance $ that comes from income tax.
