Debate stunner: St. Charles County GOP candidates decline to back Amendment 5 I really thought voters might bite on the temptation of a tax cut now (or in 10 yrs) vs. the possibility of a sales tax hike. Now I'm re-thinking that logic. Could Gov. Kehoe's agenda go up in smoke?

Another memorable moment: Where would we be most likely to find candidates out and about in their neighborhood? Mayor Jones said Harold's Chicken on Union. An audience member shouted: "They're closed. They've been closed over a year."

The Missouri Senate just voted 27-5 with bipartisan support to approve the state takeover of the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department.

I asked Cori Bush how much her nonprofit raised off its tornado appeal and where the money went. She said that's "a PAC that I cannot speak to as a candidate." It's not a PAC. It's the nonprofit she called a 501(c)(4). Her team moved on. The full exchange: #MO01 #stlouis

A SLU law professor says the real fight is now the governor versus the Missouri Supreme Court, and the court has no enforcement mechanism. "Let's see them enforce it." Where that puts Missouri in the history books: next to Andrew Jackson and the Cherokee.

Cori Bush defiant in defeat: "All they did was radicalize me, so now they need to be afraid." "They about to see this other Cori, this other side," she said. "AIPAC, I'm coming to tear your kingdom down."

Kansas cast itself as the Union Army in a hype video. The 'Union Army' then lost by 17 at home. Grant did not have this problem. Also the team they called "wrong" is named for a Union militia. They had all week to Google it. #Mizzou

Sen Josh Hawley called Medicaid cuts "morally wrong" &amp; "politically suicidal." He said the "big beautiful bill" would eventually force rural hospitals to close. He called for a tax policy that is more fair to workers and families than corporations. So why'd he vote for this?

They needed 110,000 signatures. They turned in 305,000. The clerks verified them. Then the Secretary of State rejected the petition anyway, saying the count is irrelevant. Asked if any Missouri SOS has ever done that: "Not that I know of."

The U.S. Supreme Court just froze the federal order that barred Missouri from using any map but the new one. The full Court, not one justice. That leaves the state court's ruling against HB 1 as the only order in effect, nine days before military ballots go out.

Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey advances arguments made in Project 2025, says the obscenity laws in the Comstock Act of 1873 should prevent the mailing of abortion pills. I also ask him to explain his legal brief claiming declining teen pregnancies is bad for Missouri.

Tug of war over St. Louis' $230 million in NFL settlement money: Downtown says: our 4% of land equals 20% of the city's tax base. That money funds YOUR neighborhood too. North City says: you already have state cash &amp; private matching funds coming. We have people in tents.

Kamala Harris calls Missouri House Democrats to encourage them that “they are not alone” in the redistricting fight, according to this video from inside the Capitol last night. She acknowledges the career risks they’ve incurred, threats to their committee assignments. (1 of 2)

Great accountability questions from Shoshana Stahl last night. Notice how it takes three times before CEMA Commissioner Sarah Russell finally admits CEMA staffers were at a workshop when they should've been sounding an alarm. Russell also blames fire dept, old battered sirens.

In Feb, MO Sec. of State Denny Hoskins promised: your private voter info won't go to D.C. without a court order. Last month, the line moved. He sent driver's license numbers &amp; birth years to the DOJ — no court order — for a database a judge has since ruled unlawful. ⬇️

Asked the Festus data center developer what happens to neighbors' wells if his facility's water runs dirty. "That is a question I cannot answer." Asked who holds him accountable on water safety. "...my children." Asked if he'd drink a glass of it. "It's possible."

Illinois Governor JB Pritzker responds to Bill Clinton's suggestion during the Epstein probe deposition that maybe he took Pritzker on a Clinton Foundation fundraising flight years ago. Pritzker says Google sponsored the flight, Epstein wasn't involved.

St. Louis County prosecutors are investigating one of their own cases: a 107 mph ticket cut to a $50 parking fine. The driver was a county councilman's daughter. He helps fund that office. The office says it was "not handled properly." He also chairs the ethics committee.

At City Hall, there is still a lot of passionate disagreement over how to spend the Rams settlement funds. Alderwoman Cara Spencer says influence from "special interests" like WePower (who back $34M in early childhood education funding) are "a big concern for me."

Illinois wants the Cardinals? The team says, "Illinois is not on our radar." They're focused on Busch Stadium renovations and Ballpark Village. Never hurts to ask! #MLB #StLouis

Retired TV reporter Elliott Davis continues testing the patience of elected officials and his former colleagues in the press corps, this time with a string of incessant cell phone alarm disruptions during a press conference. I didn't see him apologize to anyone.
