Missouri Republicans' Amendment 4 is getting trounced not just in every congressional district but in every *county* so far. Trump won all but four counties in Missouri.

Screenshot of a New York Times 2026 election results page titled "Missouri Amendment 4 Election Results: Modify Amendment Approval Requirements." A description notes the measure, proposed by the Republican-led legislature, would require citizen-initiated constitutional amendments to win in each of the state's eight congressional districts rather than by a simple statewide majority. With 23% of votes in (AP data), "No" leads with 277,388 votes, or 81.1%, and is marked with a check indicating it is winning. "Yes" has 64,711 votes, or 18.9%. Total reported: 342,099. A "Results by county" table lists: St. Louis County, 85% No / 15% Yes, 82,026 total votes, 30% in; St. Charles, 79/21, 30,809, 20% in; Platte, 80/20, 18,648, 77% in; Buchanan, 82/18, 15,852, more than 95% in; St. Louis City, 90/10, 15,826, 22% in; Clay, 82/18, 15,613, 21% in. At right, a map of Missouri shades counties by result, with Kansas City, Columbia, St. Louis, and Springfield labeled. Reporting counties are shaded orange for No, most at the darkest shade of 70% or more; no counties are shaded teal for Yes. Counties without results are gray, covering much of the state.

NEW: Missouri voters have rejected Amendment 4, which Republicans had passed to make citizen-initiated constitutional amendments effectively impossible. It would have required initiatives to pass in every congressional district—not just statewide—giving the overwhelmingly red districts a veto

I shared this when it first came out five months ago but it's a good one to listen to now that the trade deadline has passed. #STLCards fans: this is a good interview with Cardinals Farm Director Rob Cerfolio. Lots of prospect talk & analysis. Thanks to @davidlaurila.bsky.social for doing it.

line from Rob Cerfolio's interview at FanGraphs is gonna stick with me for awhile bc so much of public player evaluation has turned the other way: "We’re not solving for Double-A performance. We’re solving for major league impact." blogs.fangraphs.com/cardinals-fa...

It would be amazing if the Angels brought Mozeliak in off the street a month ago, had him trade like seven guys, and then replaced him after the season. Like even by Angels standards that would be interesting to me. Also, re: "by Angels standards" it's not clear to me it's worse than status quo.

John Mozeliak was asked if he wants to stay with the Angels in a permanent role. “It’s been fun. In terms of what I want to do, I don’t know the answer to that yet.” Mike Trout wasn’t going anywhere at the deadline so Mo said he invited Trout into the Angels’ “trade room.”
