Christa Pike was tortured by the state of Tennessee yesterday. This is now the second horrific botched execution by Tennessee in less than six months.

Can we just clarify that this beautiful 16-yr-old Missouri child is dead because another child had access to a gun. And could we also get clarification on how the child who is now being charged with second-degree murder came to have a gun in the first place. A child doesn't legally purchase guns.

It’s a pattern. Republicans voted against paid sick leave in 1993, 2015, 2020, 2022, and even repealed it here in Missouri after voters approved it. They will keep voting against it whenever it comes up.

A “survey released Thursday shows more Missourians disapprove of President Donald Trump and Gov. Mike Kehoe’s job performance than approve. For Trump, it is the first negative approval rating in the 6-year history of the SLU/YouGov poll. For Kehoe, it is the first since he took office last year.”

Packed room today to hear Boone County Clerk Brianna Lennon explain where we are with Missouri’s elections mess. Local elections officials do not know right now who might prevail, she says. Will it be the Missouri’s Supreme Court decision, or will the outcome be determined by federal judges.

“‘We should have the same expectation for all children,’ said board member Kerry Casey, of Chesterfield.” I have a lot of thoughts. Also she is the lady that singled SLPS out of all the school districts to be given only provisional accreditation. (Which is still accredited!)

At least 38 people were shot in separate shootings across Chicago this weekend, killing three. Gunfire terrorized people who were out at a park, outside in their neighborhood, and stopped at a traffic light. This dystopian violence should not be normal.

The overwhelming right wing sentiment is that COVID was an engineered bioweapon that was also harmless. Trump overreacted to it by shutting down the country, then engineered a drive to create a vaccine that was the real bioweapon that killed millions, and it's Joe Biden's fault.

Doublethink: the state insists you believe the president is brilliant and commandingly in charge AND had no control of, nor responsibility for, the top public health official in his administration, who operated right under the president’s nose at the president’s discretion, victimizing him and you.
