Here's where some of that gambling 💰 was probably legally laundered to by MO Senate Minority Leader Doug Beck: Senate Dems Campaign Committee. From there it will be spent on Senate candidates. If you ever wondered why Dems vote for bad bills, legal money laundering is at the center of the problem.

Missouri Senate Minority Floor Leader Doug Beck is busy legally laundering money for gambling intetests and MCR PAC, Michael Rayner's PAC (Cargill family), the largest contributor to last August's MAGA pro Amendment 4 campaign 🤦‍♀️ www.mec.mo.gov/MEC/Campaign...

Watching videos of neighborhoods near AI data centers is insane. There’s no way that shit should be allowed. That loud, constant blaring would drive anyone insane. And the light pollution is so bad that it’s basically day time, all the time. That has to be tantamount to psychological torture.

Disclose the money! Show the receipts! Any "influencer" taking money from a campaign or PAC should have to reveal it. These sleazy shills destroy politics even more. Podcasters etc who fundraiase for candidates or who do their PR should be marked as operatives, not as journalists or creative people.

A lot of money has been changing hands between online creators and political campaigns and much of it has gone undisclosed, according to a recent New York Times report. @davejorgenson.bsky.social sees the revelation as a teaching opportunity.

STL Monday afternoon: they are shooting radar on 270 northbound near Big Bend, patrol is wedged between the rock cliffs, I have never seen that before in the past 40 years. Watch your speed. 

Diesel is on its way to $6/gallon nationwide average — higher than they have ever been. Just a reminder, before Trump's war in Iran started, it was just $3.76 a gallon and that Rep. Ann "Absent" Wagner voted to support funding for his never-ending war.

BREAKING: The U.S. Supreme Court has halted a temporary restraining order issued this week that only allowed Secretary of State Denny Hoskins to use a Trump-backed map lawmakers drew in 2025. That means the 2022 Missouri congressional map is back on.

NEWS: The Supreme Court just blocked the use of Missouri Republicans’ new 7-1 gerrymandered congressional map in the midterms, staying a Trump-appointed judge’s order that revived it. Missouri will now use its previous 6-2 congressional map in November. No dissents were noted.

Trump offers a bribe of $5,000 in exchange for votes, the bribe is promoted as a dividend and would cost $1.2 trillion dollars. This is a felony under 18 U.S.C. § 597, bribing someone to vote a certain way is a federal crime punishable by prison.

Missouri’s unelected Republican Attorney General is asking Scotus to invalidate my state’s constitution to force a gerrymander meant to oust Rep Emanuel Cleaver. They will do anything. Anything to consolidate power and rip it from the people including invalidating a state constitution.

Easy to blame the Cards closer for last night, but Soriano did him no favors with those 3 walks. Flipped the LA order and made the job a lot tougher 🤷‍♂️ With 35 saves n 42 tries, I’d say most teams would be glad to have him
