The US is joining these countries in public executions: Iran, Afghanistan, Somalia, North Korea, and Saudi Arabia.

The Missouri Constitution clearly states that no taxpayer funds may be appropriated for use at private religious schools. Here is exact language👇🏻

BREAKING WSJ: The Trump Justice Department is reviewing whether the special prosecutor's office that investigated Watergate committed misconduct. A revisionist historian went to DOJ HQ to present his case that Richard Nixon and his associates weren't treated fairly.

I recommend people read this to get a sense of the president's grave cognitive impairment. Trump is either unwilling or unable (or maybe both) to answer the questions he's actually asked, so he just rants and raves while the interviewers do their best to provide structure to his random brain firings

You know I’m a teacher by trade, but I can’t stand for women to have to share their most intimate horrors to try to educate men on abortion or rape. The men already know…they either don’t care, or they are already actively working on our side.

We fight for democracy by showing up, not just where winning is easy, but where someone has been told not to even bother. I ran in one of those places, and I lost, but the next Democrat won’t have to start from scratch. Now imagine doing that in every district. open.substack.com/pub/jesspipe...

If you’re not from Missouri, you may not know that Eric Schmitt got his start in MAGA politics by suing public schools for mask mandates while their teachers died during a pandemic. The really strange thing? He never sued his own kids’ school for their mask mandate. He’s a piece of Schitt.

🤡 Schmitt beclowns himself 🤡 Schmitt concocted an elaborate conspiracy theory that Smith traveled to Atl for a Hawks game and to collude with Fani Willis, & flashed his "evidence" before accusing Smith of perjury. There's just one problem -- his facts were totally wrong. Here's the whole sequence:

Things that Senator Eric Schmitt always confuses: Iowa Hawkeyes vs. Atlanta Hawks. A John Deer Tractor vs. A Dear John Letter. Washington State vs. Washington DC. Gorrillas vs. Guerrillas. Duke University’s Blue Devils vs. Arizona State University’s Sun Devils.

Before calling someone a “dirtbag,” the Senator should have had his facts straight. An apology is in order. Glad one of us knew the difference between the Atlanta Hawks and the Iowa Hawkeyes!

How scared are Missouri Republicans about their anti-abortion amendment not passing in November? They are running commercials that don’t even mention the amendment will ban abortion… because they know we already gave women the constitutional right to abortion. VOTE NO ON AMENDMENT 3.

The Nebraska Farm Bureau is still "neutral" on the Governor's race and isn't endorsing Pillen. This is a big change from their endorsement of Pillen just four years ago. The Farm Bureau is known for nearly exclusively endorsing Republicans in agricultural states across the country.

They are much more democratic leaning than other farm associations

They are definitely shaken by prices and costs, but I can’t say for sure they will vote for Democrats. I think a lot of them will stay home or leave races blank.

Missouri Republicans have had power for over two decades. They have had the votes. They have had the budgets. They have had every chance to fund our schools and rural hospitals and roads and libraries and make this state work. If they wanted to, they would. open.substack.com/pub/jesspipe...

The Eighth Circuit has ordered the district court to reinstate Missouri’s 2025 congressional map. But before folks freak out, it also ordered that court to pause such a ruling for long enough that the challengers can (and will) seek further review from #SCOTUS: s3.documentcloud.org/documents/28...
To allow for appellate review, the district court should administratively stay its permanent injunction until September 28, 2026, at 5 p.m. Central Daylight Time. Without any stay, Secretary Hoskins and local election authorities would be required to immediately begin implementing the 2025 map before the Supreme Court receives or decides any appeal. And without a limit to the stay, PNP could wait to file its petition for a writ of certiorari until the December 21, 2026, due date, see
SUP. CT. R. 13.1, thus preventing the Supreme Court from considering the merits of this case until after Missouri has conducted the November 2026 general election. The mandate shall issue forthwith

NEW: The CNN/MSNOW/Politico case has been assigned to Trump appointee Judge Timothy Kelly. You'll recall he presided over the Proud Boy's case, approved domestic terror enhancements, and called Trump out for revisionist history when asked to dismiss the charges against them.
