Last week of Missouri's legislative session: Repealing voter-passed laws on earned paid sick leave and abortion rights, building a KC Royals stadium, redeveloping St. Louis City, and maybe another Second Amendment Preservation Act? Which bills are you following?

Missouri's state Senate ended early this year. While it couldn't find the time to allow abused pregnant women to get divorced, it did find the time to overturn laws recently passed by Missourians. Better luck next year?

St. Louis has suffered over $1 billion in costs, damage to 5000 buildings, and the loss of 5 lives from the tornado. How does federal disaster relief work, and what can you do right now to help?

I encountered a lot of this today in North City. I also spoke with several families about issues with insurance. I gave out my number to a lot of families today. Attorney General Bailey, consider sending attorneys out with the volunteer cleanup teams. Would be a big help.

This is Bella. I think she liked my chainsaw, especially when we were clearing her street. Bella's mom is fighting her home insurance company right now because they don't want to cover the damage to her home from the tornado in St. Louis. There's no power at the house, but at

ST. LOUIS STORM SCAM WATCH While helping tornado victims, I've gotten a lot of questions about insurance claims, contractors going door to door, and FEMA, especially after folks realize I'm an attorney. 1) The President has not yet declared a disaster. There are no FEMA folks

Senator Josh Hawley, Iโ€™ve got a family Iโ€™m sending to your office. Insurance company is denying a claim for damage to the home. She lives on this street in north St. Louis where a neighbor rented a bobcat to make the road passable. Letโ€™s get FEMA here.

I've gotten calls today about landlords notifying tenants that they have to vacate their homes due to tornado damage. I dealt with the same issue during flooding in 2022. FEMA played a big role in helping residents find housing. We need FEMA in St. Louis as soon as possible.

St. Louis, we need your help finding this mommaโ€™s home. Sheโ€™s with us while weโ€™re fixing up the New Christ Church at Taylor and Greer.

St. Louis residents are starting to see these stickers appearing on their homes. They are placed by the SAVE Coalition, a Missouri state sponsored group of volunteer engineers who are doing emergency property assessments for safety. I spoke with one volunteer while his group

With buildings collapsed all around him, and even with part of his house in the front yard before we helped haul it away, the owner of this home put up a makeshift flagpole in the middle of tornado ravaged north St. Louis. America is at its finest when we help each other.

I'm getting a lot of questions about renter protections in the wake of the St. Louis tornado. Here's a flyer we made that you are welcome to share.

Yesterday, we came to another block of homes severely damaged by the St. Louis tornado. Mom, named Joy, lived across the street from her daughter. Joyโ€™s daughter was trapped in her own home when a tree came down in the front yard, ripped part of the roof, and blocked the door.

We worked on a street hit very hard by the St. Louis tornado in the Ville. On the west side, someone had put up an American flag. It was flying below a roof covered by a tarp. Driving just a block east, you had an idea of what had motivated the family to take the time in between

I've spent several days on Greer, the first street I was assigned to after the St. Louis tornado before our home stabilization crew started up. I don't call it home repair. We're essentially a triage unit hoping for federal assistance to get here in time. Since that first day
