I wonder what the story is here. That’s a lot more than a normal falling off cornice fix.

Nothing can prepare you for who's singing this National Anthem (via lpaulfranklin / TT)

One reason Republicans are banning books and classes on race is because reading even one book about Jim Crow or Reconstruction makes it clear that they are hoping to reinstate segregation.

The argument that the new map can be used despite the referendum petition is disingenuous and should be treated that way. The enactment of a bill negates the ability to have the referendum. It’s why the referendum is not allowed for bills that have emergency clauses. They are immediately enacted.

have you ever seen a thing like it: a state hellbent on bankrupting one of its largest and most prosperous cities out of pure spite???

“This is egregious. You’re going to bankrupt the city,” Bosley said. “The state needs to pay for what the state is operating.”

ENGAGEMENT BAIT! What is your MOST CONTROVERSIAL Star Wars opinion? And I don't want embarrassingly lukewarm takes like "Jabba The Hutt was actually a good employer". I need opinions that could land you in jail. GO!

It’s a disastrous day for democracy. The Voting Rights Act made the U.S. an actually functioning democracy. And civil rights activists face impossible odds to gifting it to us. The Supreme Court‘s decision is vile.

the basic reality is that this court has already destroyed the united states as a functional republic and none of the reforms necessary to rebuild it will survive the court as it currently exists any democrat not committed to expanding the court is not serious about fixing this country

The only way out of the housing crisis is to actually build the fucking housing. There are no other shortcuts.

If things go poorly, it’s a bad reflection on TX and the US. This is such a self-own.

I don’t have words. Just very sad.

How many people could this possibly apply to?

Reporter: What do you make of Republicans saying that Virginia— AOC: Wah wah wah. We have asked Republicans for 10 years to ban partisan gerrymandering. And for 10 years, Republicans have said no. What they’re just mad at is that they have been accustomed to a Democratic Party that rolls over.

the other key success of magyar was uniting all the anti-orban factions into one overwhelming coalition united around accountability--around restoring democracy and the rule of law--around restoring the conditions under which other disagreements are possible www.liberalcurrents.com/two-lessons-...

Huzzah! We've spent hundreds of billions of dollars, killed countless innocent Iranians, caused major international tumult, further entrenched the Iranian regime in power, and the Strait of Hormuz is (allegedly) exactly as open as it was before we did any of that. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/04...

With general revenue slipping behind last year’s pace, state senators leaned on surplus funds to avoid deeper cuts. #moleg #mogov

In recent years, Republican lawmakers in GOP-led states have pushed for state takeovers of police departments and other municipal agencies. via @stateline.org

The suit argues that the law authorizing a state-controlled Board of Police Commissioners violates a provision of the Missouri Constitution that governs taxation and government spending.

In 2024, MO became the first state to end a total abortion ban at the ballot box. But now, politicians are forcing a new tricky abortion ban on our ballots to REPEAL our votes from 2024 and BAN abortion all over again. Keep abortion legal at your region’s base meeting: https://bit.ly/AAM-Bases

@jasonhancock.bsky.social is it normal to file a bill that just says “Subject to be determined at a later date.” with a smiley face?

Here is my thread on Trump's budget request, which I'll update throughout the day. He calls to cut domestic discretionary funding to the lowest level in the modern era. Trump's budget reimagines Americans' relationship with our govt, and proposes a country that does less to help people get by.

“They’re destroying more than fifty research facilities across thirty-one states, labs that house decades of irreplaceable long-term science…And they’re replacing all of it — the offices, the scientists, the institutional knowledge, the professional independence — with fifteen political appointees”

the trump administration is selling this country wholesale to rapacious, extractive industries that will destroy our collective resources for private profit morethanjustparks.substack.com/p/breaking-t...

The fact that Trump is going to oral arguments to pressure the justices to acquiesce to his attempted nullification of a constitutional amendment and create a stateless class for the first time since the civil war, illustrates what is really at the core of the Trump project and it isn’t tariffs.

Does this make a search warrant optional for surveillance? It seems like we’re going from the consent of the property owner AND a warrant to written consent of the owner OR a warrant.

Ruling by whim and an attack on direct democracy in Missouri. The filing of a referendum has always paused enactment of legislation until the people have spoken. Legislation with an emergency clause is excluded b/c it goes into effect immediately. Can’t have a referendum on a law that is enacted.

Only 23% of government workers believe they “can report a suspected violation of a law, rule, or regulation without experiencing retaliation.” That's way down form the share the prior year (72%) who said they could report suspected illegal activity without fear www.thebulwark.com/p/two-more-g...

The dissent from Judge Wilson is worth reading. It outlines how contrary this decision is with the clear intention of the framers to limit the power of the legislature.

‘While state and federal prosecutors have sent record numbers of people to prison for violent crimes and property- and drug-related offenses, the US retreated from prosecuting and punishing white-collar crime, despite a tsunami of elite-level wrongdoing.’ www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

I would argue that a recall election would be the equivalent of a “vote of no confidence.” If the Missouri legislature weren’t cowards they would expand its allowed use instead of leaving us reliant on quo warranto proceedings.

SLU led by as many as 40 points as it used an 18-0 run at the start of the second half to manhandle Georgia for a 102-77 win in the NCAA Tournament

Or, we could sunset federal highway expansion and focus on maintaining or removing what already exists. And ffs, EVs should not be paying more than ICE vehicles to continue overbuilding our infrastructure.

Genuinely just bonkers to watch the USA do this to one of the most successful and innovative hubs of scientific research the world has ever seen. All those years of Free Speech On Campus debates and it turns out they actually wanted less cancer research. Absurd.

@stlbeth.bsky.social Why is it that anytime there is an article about a crime in the city the PD uses actual SLMPD images but whenever it happens anywhere else in the region it’s generic?

St. Louis University head coach Josh Schertz and players, including Robbie Avila, cut the nets after a win vs. Loyola Chicago on Wednesday, March 4, 2026. SLU has clinched at least a share of the Atlantic 10 title.
