Directing the National Guard to help ICE hunt people isn’t just un-American, it’s inhumane, and it won’t make Missouri safer. It’s telling that our governor is prepared to waste taxpayer money so ICE can spend more time terrorizing Black and Brown communities. (1/2)

It was a privilege to stand with my colleagues for the signing of Board Bill 60, a landmark measure legalizing accessory dwelling units across the City. A special thanks to Alderwoman Clark Hubbard, whose years of hard work got this bill across the finish line.

On behalf of the City, I'd like to congratulate the St. Louisans who celebrated becoming U.S. citizens today. Ceremonies like this one are a reminder of what makes our country truly great—the idea that anyone can be an American.

This morning, the Hispanic Heritage flag was raised high above City Hall. Our city and country are so much stronger when we embrace the culture and traditions of our Hispanic community. I'm proud to celebrate that heritage here in St. Louis!

It's been almost four months since the tornado, and we're still waiting on federal aid for debris removal. Without substantive assistance from the White House, the City could be on the hook for over $700 million. We simply don't have that kind of money. Send help, not fear.

We couldn’t have asked for a better weekend at the Festival of Nations! It’s always a joy to spend time with my favorite people at one of my favorite events—and I’m always amazed by the diversity of cultures that make St. Louis so special. Already looking forward to next year!
