Excited about these appointments to the Uniform Law Commission. It’s about time we got a handle on all the lawless wearing of uniforms. We live in a society! Governor Kehoe Announces Gubernatorial Appointments | Governor Mike Kehoe governor.mo.gov/press-releases…

During Holy Week, perhaps we should return to the old benchmark, WWJD.

Now that Artemis II has launched we have 10 days to get everyone on Earth a Planet of the Apes costume so we can do something hilarious when the astronauts return 😁

So is this deal revenue neutral? If so, they HAVE to raise sales and services taxes in order to lower the income tax, right?

@Auditor_Fitz Also avoids the too common mistake of confusing the star of the best podcast by state auditors who were once state treasurers with Dr. Anna Fitz-James, a well known litigant/activist in the ballot title space.

In an effort to place more attention on the work done by his office and reduce confusion among members of the media who struggle to correctly identify him, the Missouri State Auditor announced today he will now be known simply as Fitz. The auditor formerly known as Scott Fitzpatrick said the change is necessary in large part because reporters from all parts of the state have regularly struggled to correctly pronounce his name beyond Fitz, commonly misidentifying him as Scott Fitzgerald. "I have immense respect for the work the members of the media do to cover our audits and investigations, but it has become abundantly clear that correctly identifying me as Auditor Fitzpatrick is something that gives them fits. The switch to Fitz will allow me to spend less time correcting misprints and more time holding government accountable for every tax dollar," said Fitz.

Organizers say a court fight over Secretary of State Denny Hoskins’ ballot language delayed coalition-building, forcing them to abandon a 2026 push. #moleg #mogov missouriindependent.com/2026/03/31/mis…

@byEliHoff I suspect Mizzou v Nebraska volleyball in Chicago will be a reasonably priced ticket.

Pretty cool: #Mizzou volleyball will be playing in an outdoor match on Sept. 6 at Wrigley Field. The Tigers will face Nebraska, and the game will be nationally televised on Fox. HC Dawn Sullivan: "This is a moment our players will carry with them for the rest of their lives."

BREAKING: A Cole County judge has ruled that Missouri's new congressional district maps are not frozen, despite the submission of petitions calling for a referendum. courts.mo.gov/fv/c/Findings%… It will almost certainly be appealed.

VICTORY: The Missouri Supreme Court permanently struck down FOUR anti-voter provisions of a law that criminalized the work of civic engagement groups to register and educate voters. This is a major win for our clients. campaignlegal.org/update/victory…

Wait. Did someone say costly litigation?

Very good overview of the various lawsuits and scenarios.

The Missouri Supreme Court upheld the Missouri FIRST 7-1 map — a huge win! I wanted to draw a 7-1 map back in 2022, but the RINOs objected and blocked it. This map will help President Trump by giving us a much better shot at retaining the Republican majority in the U.S. House. If Democrats take the majority, the Trump agenda is dead. Time to deliver for Missouri and America First! 🇺🇸 #MissouriFirst #MAGA

Nothing stopping us from changing “et al” to “and the fellas”

The Missouri Supreme Court on Tuesday ruled lawmakers had the authority to pass a new congressional map last year, left intact the state’s photo-ID requirement for voters and struck down limits on voter-registration and absentee-ballot outreach. #moleg missouriindependent.com/2026/03/24/mis…

Quick story, which will be updated. One key line from majority opinion: “The obligation to legislate congressional districts once a decade does not limit the General Assembly’s power to redistrict more frequently than once a decade." #moleg #mogov kansascity.com/news/politics-…

The Court also today struck down two unconstitutional statutes that made it harder to register voters and assist with absentee ballots. Good win for voting rights.

Missouri Supreme Court has just ruled (4-3) that the general assembly may redraw congressional districts as often as it chooses. On to the referendum fight!
