One reason to care about state supreme courts: They are only defender of abortion rights in some places. In Kansas, Wyoming, Missouri, New Mexico, justices who ruled in favor of abortion access are on ballot this year. And Right is going after them. Time to learn more—I covered all states:

$9.50 for a loaf of "peasant" bread seems just plain mean.

Was in Kirkwood, Clayton, and Town & Country today and was happy to see all the @wellmanformo.bsky.social signs!

Have a pleasant evening.

So glad the guy in charge of our nation’s health is an exhumed cowboy boot with a taste for toilet seat cocaine and raccoon penis

I have been derelict in my duties it's been a while since I offered a fashion report. Though its certainly not complete, here is my spring/summer WHO WORE IT BEST round up. You're welcome. merrillmarkoe.substack.com/p/who-wore-i...

Wish there were an antibiotic for Trump's explosive logorrheic liarrhea.

I'm seeing local reports of cyclosporiasis, the common denominator being Taco Bell. Diarrhea? Or vomiting? ¿Por que no los dos?

When I was 9 or 10, we lived across the street from a woman who pronounced lasagna "lazajj-na" & told my mom the school held back her son only to help the "slow" kids. Man, I wish she were president.

This World Cup has felt like standing in line at Walgreen's (interminable).

My parents were married on 7/10/65. They say the secret of their longevity is: small lies, cheap beer, & laughter. Lots of it. Mom says the same thing about Dad that Anne Bancroft said about Mel Brooks: "I get excited when I hear his key in the door; I know the party's about to start" (paraphrasing)

Never seen TMZ fail this hard. There should be video of the ventilator by now. What's happening over there?

While buying groceries today, I heard the cashier ask the guy in front of me if he was having a good day. The guy responded, "I am. In fact, I just met with my financial advisor & my portfolio is looking great." What kind of freak says that? Keep it to yourself, Richie Rich!

I went out with a Maine Oyster farmer once & he showed me his dad's Nazi plate. He thought it was weird his dad had just that one thing. I told him I'd never get over my dad owning official Nazi china & he said, "Well aren't you Little Miss Perfect! What were you, born in a vat or sumthin'?"

Graham Platner, after a 20 minute conversation with Mitch McConnell, has decided to suspend his campaign.

I talked to Mitch McConnell for 18.5 minutes but Rose Mary Woods erased the tape

What a great morning celebrating America’s 250th with friends, neighbors, and supporters at the Webster Groves Parade. Thanks to everyone who waved, cheered, or stopped us for a yard sign. Days like today are a reminder that this campaign is about being present, listening, and earning every vote.

Why has the government kept this tragedy secret for so long?

Was at holiday gathering tonight where most guests were watching the World Cup, so I joined them rather than talking to myself and, I gotta say, having just read "Among the Thugs," I was deeply disappointed by the total lack of hooliganism. Never once did it seem like it was going to go off.

Democratic socialist Melat Kiros beat U.S. Rep. Diana DeGette in a Colorado House primary, a stunning victory for the first-time candidate against a nearly 30-year incumbent. More at bit.ly/4oXXhaw

I've really got to start getting into sports. Y'all are having so much fun.

I know, I know---I could be in Europe where it's much worse, but it's damn near 1130p & still feels like 92. A week into summer. Ugh. What's even worse is I've become something I never thought I'd be: someone who posts a forecast screenshot. Time to watch Fortitude & yearn for the cold

All this campaigning has us parched. Good thing we're meeting at 4 Hands Kirkwood. Join us NEXT MONDAY, 6/29 from 5:30–7:30PM. Come grab a drink, talk politics, ask questions, and help us grow the campaign that's going to flip #MO02. Can’t wait to see you there! RSVP: WellmanforMO.com/events

Hey everyone! I just posted 22 new volcano tissue box covers in my Etsy store. They are lidar (or radar)-derived scale models of actual volcanoes that I art-ified. Lots of cool colors in this batch that include Etna, Olympus Mons, and cascade favorites. They sell FAST. phaneritic.etsy.com

Fell asleep during Frasier & woke up to one of my fave scenes from Transparent. Having waited tables during college, I recognize Vicki as that customer who thinks 5 bucks is a great tip no matter how high the bill or how much they've run you ragged. Now, *20%* is when they stab you.

Happy Flag Day!

Very happy and excited for all you Knicks fans!

I wish ballet brought people together the way soccer and basketball do.
