I spoke to a ton of straight D-ticket voters that didn’t know anything about Kunce, Quade, or Gross. More voters knew about Prop 3 and Prop A than anything else. I think we had candidates that didn’t inspire turnout and could never win. (Warning: anecdata)
Gonna be a lot of hot takes on STL City’s turnout dropping from 66% in 2020 to 49% today and it’s ~almost~ like having the second most expensive Congressional race in HISTORY burnt people out!!!

Today, BB72 was perfected by #STLBOA and is scheduled for final passage next week. This bill asks voters to amend the City Charter to remove the $500 municipal fine and fee limits to address non-owner occupied vacant and deteriorated properties. (A 🧵👇🏽)

One of the things I was trying to highlight while running for CAO is everything the city is losing when it’s losing its population. At just over 250,000, today the city only accounts for only ~35% of MO-1. We are losing tax rev, community, et al AND political power.

Relatedly, St. Louis County may now have one of the highest Congresspersons per capita ratios out there. It has 3 of MO’s 10.

Shot: Supreme Court Justice John Roberts in the "Chevron" decision: "Perhaps most fundamentally, Chevron’s presumption is misguided because agencies have no special competence in resolving statutory ambiguities. Courts do." Chaser:

We are experiencing a constitutional coup. The power grab of overturning the Chevron Doctrine is eye watering. Note the celebration on the right will say that this takes away power from unelected bureaucrats. Ask this: which federal judges were elected?

Rule making authority had been placed in the hands of experts in their fields that had to justify their decisions as reasonable in both interpretation of the law and the evidence/science available to administrative judges (also experts in the field).

Now this authority is in federal judges’ hands who were not elected, lack field expertise (or even any experience whatsoever), and have no incentive nor concern to provide timely rulings. A single district judge could hold up a case for the entirety of an administration.

Please consider adding your testimony to these important bills. The CJC is not in line with Federal recommendations for access to counsel (see link), and these Bills will help protect everyone’s Sixth Amendment rights. justice.gov/d9/2023-07/2023.…

We have a Cardinal nest in our backyard that has produced one chick (currently learning to fly). My wife wants to call it Albert Pujols. I pointed out that the newest Cardinal should be called Masyn Winn. She explained that she doesn’t know who that is. Send help.

Important update. The Cardinal is fluttering and has really taken off during the current hot streak. @Cardinals I firmly believe this birds life is in your hands.

103k people live in Lee’s Summit. It’s the @NFL and the @Chiefs that have really doxxxxxed Butker! How can an employer publish not only every location that he’ll be working this fall, but also the specific dates of his shifts?
This is disgusting. @buttkicker7 has a first amendment right to speak freely and without fear of being doxxed by his own government. Someone needs to be held accountable.

Wash U, this is what you look like.
RON DESANTIS PLANS TO EXPEL ALL STUDENTS FROM FLORIDA WHO PROTEST ISRAEL So, Americans can’t study in America if they speak out against the actions of a foreign government. Totalitarian society. Police State.

One of STL’s finest alderpersons breaks it down. Amazing what we have resources for when we identify a “priority”

Important work. Securus is up there as one of the most disgusting biz models currently at place in America.
THREAD. Predatory prison telecom Securus has just defaulted on over $1 BILLION in debt. After years of preying on incarcerated people and their families, driving many into debt, Securus can't pay its own. Here's the story about how advocacy made this happen.
