Just so you know, the President of the United States is *personally* involved in convincing state lawmakers to pass gerrymandered congressional maps that erase Democratic seats. This is not governance. trib.al/WmFCTTc

The DEI caused the plane crash narrative is a distraction. The tariffs are a distraction. Whatever insane nonsense Trump spews that the media will chase like cats chasing a laser light is a distraction. The only story that counts right now is the wholesale hijacking of control of the US government.

Missouri funds schools in the most inequitable way…only 32% of funding comes from the state. The rest must come from local taxes, which is why schools in the city have massive performing arts centers and million dollar football fields, and schools in the country don’t have science labs.
