Yo, @LastWeekTonight fam!

Sooooo, you probably heard about our state senator who spoke out in support of child brides last Tuesday.

The part of the story you're not hearing is that not one @MissouriGOP elected official has publically denounced it.

It's been a week.

(1/)
Missouri's a majority-GOP government.

They hold:
- 24 of 34 state Senate seats
- 111 of 163 state House seats
- all six statewide offices
- 6 of 8 U.S. House seats
- both U.S. Senate seats

They've had 149 chances to say "Hey, please don't marry kids."...aaaaand passed.

(2/)
Instead, this week:
- The Speaker Pro Tem talked shit on a rabbi with a trans child
- The Governor complained about "negative press coverage"
- A legislator who CONSTANTLY denounces "wokeness" on Twitter tweeted he "didn't have time to denounce every little thing folks say"

(3/) Miracle Whip spokesman and ...Technology guru Mo. Governo...Cosplay enthusiast and Mo. ...

Nicole transitions from saying that Fitzpatrick has met w/ her office several times to prepare for taking over her position to speaking about how the auditor's role is "to be independent minded and put politics aside and serve taxpayers." #mogov 🧵
She didn't say it, but I will. Fitzpatrick will be political in his position. He's already stated that his focus will be "on combating left-wing 'environmental, social, and governance—or 'ESG'—policies with respect to investments."
dailysignal.com/2022/11/30/inc…
Fitzpatrick sent his COS to a State Financial Officers’ Foundation meeting where fossil-fuel funded groups, including ALEC and the Heritage Fdtn, advised them on combating ESG investing.

Advocating for an embryo/fetus while ignoring children who are living, breathing beings right in front of you is easy, lazy & performative.

Kids deserve safety, quality education, healthcare, warm meals, a roof over their head. That’s the real work. That’s #ProLife #MoLeg
Allowing Agape’ Boarding School to remain in operation after decades of physical, emotional, and sexual child abuse is not pro-life. #MoLeg news-leader.com/story/news/loc…
Legalizing unfettered access to guns while Missouri children are slaughtered in their classrooms, their bedrooms, and on the sidewalk is not pro-life. #MoLeg

WalletHub ranks Missouri 10th among U.S. states in terms of financial damage wrought by natural disasters.
They released a monetary analysis focused on 2 metrics: the number of climate disasters causing at least $1B in damage since 1980 (Missouri is # 7), plus the loss amount
per capita of those disasters (Missouri is # 15).

How has #mogov and the #moleg addressed climate change which exacerbates climate disasters?

MO State Treasurer Fitzpatrick, who is running for state auditor, "believes a top legislative priority should be acting on the state’s investment relationships with any Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Funds through public pension systems."
thecentersquare.com/missouri/misso…
He persuaded the MO State Employees' Retirement Sys (MOSERS) Board of Trustees to vote to remove proxy voting powers from investment managers in June. Proxy voting allows company shareholders to weigh in on issues regarding public companies and to vote in board member elections

A lot of people have found their way to @MO_Independent's past coverage of @EricGreitens’ Senate campaign after he posted an ad today toting a gun and hunting his GOP rivals.

Here are a few of our stories that are suddenly getting a lot of attention. (1/6) #mosen #moleg #mogov
First is @RudiKellerMI's story today about the ad in question, which was blocked by Facebook and denounced as "distasteful" and "grotesque" by @EricGreitens' GOP rivals #mosen (2/6)
missouriindependent.com/2022/06/20/eri…
Then there is @Tessa_Weinberg's story from March about @EricGreitens’ ex-wife filing an affidavit claiming he physically abused her and his children.

Greitens has denied the allegations, though he has not done so under oath. #mosen #moleg (3/6)

@GovParsonMO Parson’s errors were part of the plan. šŸ¤” From the start Donald’s confidence man cities underresourced and lengthy drives endorsed. His remarks nearly come off deadpan. Jackson Co. he shorted by ½. In St. Louis, ā…”rds was his gaffe.

@GovParsonMO Mike discussed the Johnson Co. list. (City-center K.C. he just missed.) Jackson-Jackson’s #vaccine can help make that list clean, or at least that seems to be the gist, ’cause with Parson you can’t be too sure and the mass vax plan was premature.
#Missouri
@GovParsonMO .@beedubyah1967 then the
atmosphere helped to leaven.
K.C.’s mega-#vaccine šŸ’‰šŸ¤šŸˆ
can be taken to mean
senators in District [11 – 2]
local folks would assist, rather
than from #vaccine to blacklist.

I think one of the issues for a @GovJayNixon #MOSEN bid is that it’s not a good assumption that his past electoral success in 2008 and 2012 will replicate years after his state has shifted politically — just ask Phil Bredesen and Tommy Thompson.
Also I’ll let the former guv speak for himself but every time I’ve talked with him post-governorship he seems pretty content being in the private sector.
BTW, here’s the map of @GovJayNixon’s 2008 #MOGOV campaign courtesy of ourcampaigns.com:

@RepJasonSmith 's disinformation/misinformation campaign continues. "He [Rush Limbaugh] was able to cut through the spin and propaganda to provide clarity in a complicated world unlike anything we’ve ever seen."

Molly Ivens, back in 1995, wrote in a piece entitled "Lyin' Bully", "One of the things that concerns a lot of Americans lately is the increase in plain old nastiness in our political discussion. It comes from a number of sources, but Rush Limbaugh is a major carrier."

@NewsHour had a segment last night on how WV decided not to go w/ the CVS/Walgreens plan proposed by the fed's. They decided to send vaccines to independent pharmacies bc it's a rural state & small pharmacies are located where many live. WV has ā¬†ļø % of ppl that hv been vaccinated
Here is an article that explains WV's rollout of vaccines. nationalinterest.org/blog/coronavir…
How urban areas are covered by the state vaccine rollout policy:
Doses for eligible older West Virginians are being delivered to primary care providers, community health centers, and local health departments.

#Missouri government is fiscally irresponsible with our tax dollars!

The supplemental spending bill proposed by the governor "includes money to hire two attorneys and pay other increased costs as the Administrative Hearing Commission considers more than 850 appeals from +
companies denied licenses to grow, process and sell medical marijuana."
The state will "demand repayment of any unemployment money it paid in error to residents since the COVID-19 pandemic began — regardless of whether the overpayments came from state or federal funds."
