I like when Missouri isn’t in the headlines!
🤡 Eric Schmitt beclowns himself during Jack Smith hearing 🤡
Schmitt concocted an elaborate conspiracy theory that Smith traveled to Atlanta to go to a Hawks game and collude with Fani Willis, and briefly displayed his "evidence" on a poster board before accusing Smith of perjury.

Springfield’s Schools are facing a huge budget shortfall b/c politicians like Melanie Stinnett voted to punch a $500 million hole in the budget by giving handouts to millionaires.

BREAKING: Missouri Supreme Court throws out the GOP’s 7-1 map that carved Rep. Emanuel Cleaver’s Kansas City district into three pieces, justices order Secretary of State to use the 6-2 map for the upcoming November election. Federal suits likely to follow.
It was great to meet @ProudUnionGuy in person. I really enjoy watching his videos and his ability to cut through the BS and tell his story of what the value of being a union worker means.
