In addition to getting rid of permit and age requirements for guns in 2016, Republicans passed a Shoot First law (“stand your ground”). Now when a fight happens at a public event and turns into a shootout and bystanders die, which child shooters were just “standing their ground?”

Now apply that thinking to the people trying to cross our border for a better life for their families…

While the Missouri House Republicans are voting to defund cancer screenings, STI testing, and basic healthcare- most of them are in the back of the House shoveling cake in their faces instead of listening to the debate. #LetThemEatCake

Apparently Facebook is down for everyone? This must be what they get for taking away Echo VR…

.Rep. Peter Merideth fails to remove entirely language barring undocumented immigrants from attending public higher education at in-state rates; reads #Bible verses on welcoming strangers: "You have a leader selling bibles to make money," he says. "Maybe read it." #moleg #mogov. .

I’m so proud and grateful to be recognized by the Conservation Federation as a voice for our state’s incredible natural resources. But also… I’m pretty sure this is the coolest award I’ve ever gotten.

It’s so hard sometimes to listen to Rs like Ben Baker lie on the floor over and over again with such inflammatory rhetoric and not be allowed to reply. But sometimes these guys aren’t worth the effort anyway. Voters need to start answering with elections. November is coming…

This “concurrent majority” Rs are pushing for constitutional amendments is simple. They want Republican politicians to be able to gerrymander the vote of the people just like they gerrymander the legislature. They just can’t stand democracy or the will of voters.#moleg

Amid his speech of ignorant rhetoric about the “evils of DEI” Rep Richey did get one thing right - “you don’t fight racism with racism.” Exactly, Doug. You fight racism with education, exposure and empathy. You fight racism with diversity, equity and inclusion. #moleg

Apparently they decided to start PQing and prevent Dems from talking on the actual details of the budget because they wanted to spend our limited floor time left today congratulating themselves instead - on the least transparent budget they’ve passed yet. #moleg

I co-sign👇🏽. I worked w/ Elizabeth Fuchs before running for office ever crossed our minds. When she lobbied for PROMO Missouri and I did comms for ACLU of Missouri, I saw how she navigated a supermajority of Republicans at #MOLEG, kept her values and got things done. #VoteLilly🌈
