ONE in every SEVEN people in Eastern Missouri face hunger.

Tomorrow our letter carriers make it really easy to help!

Here we go. The Missouri Senate is now on a Republican attempt to eliminate ‘one person, one vote’ by counting some people’s vote count more than others, depending on where people live.

Senate Democrats strongly oppose this scheme to take power away from voters. #moleg

HUGE WIN! After months of Republican opposition, Senate Democrats have PASSED critical funding for Missouri’s hospitals, ambulances and nursing homes.

This FRA legislation stabilizes Missouri’s health care system and prevents a $4.5 BILLION budget deficit. #moleg

Nine GOP Senators just voted AGAINST funding postpartum healthcare for #MO women

Missouri has one of the highest maternal mortality rates. New moms die in Missouri at a higher rate than in most other states.

Thankfully, Senate Dems delivered the votes to pass this vital funding

The Senate Democratic Caucus has unanimously approved and proudly supports the FY25 budget bill for Missouri’s police officers, emergency responders, and National Guard. #moleg

The budget to spur economic development and create jobs across the state has passed the Missouri Senate with Democratic votes, after the Republican supermajority fails to whip the 18 votes needed to pass legislation. #moleg

Despite their supermajority, Senate Republicans continue to fall short of the 18 votes needed to pass budget bills, including funding to fix Missouri’s roads/bridges and support rural communities & farmers

Democrats have delivered the votes needed to balance the budget each time

HUGE VICTORY FOR MISSOURI SCHOOLS!

Senate Democrats just RAISED TEACHER PAY and made a RECORD INVESTMENT in Missouri’s kids & classrooms through HB 2002

This bill ONLY passed thanks to the Democratic Caucus, after Senate Republicans failed to get 18 of their members on board.

.Senator Denny Hoskins, CPA is back with his anti-DEI amendment
Lauren Arthur asks about study using identical applications w/ 'Black' and 'White' names and asks who gets more calls for interviews
Hoskins: 'If it is an NBA player…
Arthur: 'That feels like a really gross stereotype...'
#moleg

The first (of many) budget bills have been passed by the Missouri Senate 25 to 7

The Republican supermajority failed to get 18 Republican votes to pass these significant investments.

Thankfully, #DemocratsDeliver and provided the needed votes to balance the budget. #moleg

Bill to ban all child marriages runs into resistance from Missouri House Republicans

“Any explanation used to justify opposition is nothing more than, you know, an excuse to protect predators,” Office of Sen. Lauren Arthur said in an interview. #moleg

UPDATE: Senate Democrats have defeated this amendment!!!

Excellent work by the entire Caucus to stand together and stop the Republicans’ extreme government overreach #moleg

Missouri Republicans blocking bill to end child brides

Missouri previously had one of the nation’s most lenient laws surrounding child marriage and the state’s current law has been criticized as a loophole that leaves thousands of teenagers open to abuse & exploitation - The Kansas City Star

Earlier this year, Republican Senators said IVF treatments should be outlawed.

Now, Republican opposition to birth control has delayed - and possibly derailed - a ‘game changer’ piece of legislation for Missouri women.

Notice a pattern? #moleg

Missouri state budget in limbo as legislative deadline nears

via FOX2now : A constitutional deadline is looming over the General Assembly to pass a budget by the end of this week but before that, senators must renew a multi-billion-dollar tax. #moleg

Funding for teacher raises, funding for healthcare for new moms, funding for fixing roads & bridges, funding for law enforcement and more is at risk because of CHAOS within the Republican Party.

From Washington DC to Jefferson City, Republican chaos is costing taxpayers. #moleg
