Second only to the Big Lie, the next biggest lie that Republicans tell voters is that they represent the little guy, that they’re looking out for the forgotten man. (A thread)
Shielding employers who risk their workers lives during a pandemic.
Stripping consumers of the right to sue businesses, churches, nursing homes and healthcare providers for wrong-doing during a pandemic which can result in life-long disability, death and thousands of dollars of medical bills.
Increased the criminal penalties for individuals who protest.
Proposed but shelved for now, a bill that would tie Missouri’s minimum wage to the federal minimum wage which is lower.

One thing that might be hampering vaccine supply/demand in Missouri is that the vaccine is being distributed by percentage of population. However, the priority populations (based on Missouri’s Phases and Tiers) are NOT proportionately distributed throughout the state. /1
The disparities I’m going to focus on fall along two main categories: Employment classifications and race. First, let’s deal with employment classifications. Currently eligible for vaccination in Missouri are people in the following jobs: /2 Image
But as you can see from these maps pulled from the BLS, employment in these occupations are not evenly distributed throughout Missouri. /3 ImageImageImageImage

My parents are in their 70s. Neither with any college. Dad barely graduated high school. Both independent voters. Neither of them needed to research Hawley to know that he was trouble. /1
I’m glad people are finally starting to properly vet Josh Hawley. I can forgive voters for not having the time or resources to delve into Hawley’s history. But it’s tough for me to forgive people like frmr Senator John Danforth or frmr Ambassador Sam Fox. /2
Tough to forgive never-Trumpers who mused in 2018, that Hawley, like Nikki Haley, would be the future of a resuscitated, post-Trump GOP; that Hawley might return the GOP to true conservatism. /3

I don’t have time to be all fancy and eloquent but I’ve been listening to news today including Biden’s remarks, economists, etc. IMHO, the COVID relief is today’s ACA. We need a full-court press on this like we did for the ACA. Really. /1
For years, constituents of Republican members of Congress were fed lies about the ACA through TV appearances, radio interviews, newsletters and emails. They believed those lies even as the majority of them were benefitting from the ACA’s consumer protections and /2
expanded coverage. It wasn’t until the ACA was under real threat that everybody went to school on it. And it made a difference. IMHO, Democrats should bypass members of Congress. We need to sell this COVID package to the people in plain and simple terms. /3

States that have supported the President have seen more aid. nytimes.com/2020/06/07/us/…
“Economists at Kansas State found that farmers were paid up to as much as 8x their estimated losses from trade friction in 2018....The trade relief payments drove up net farm income by 12% in 2019”.
“One study suggested that the department had paid out more than was actually lost...While the government paid $28B in 2018 and 2019, he estimate that through mid-2019, the trade wars actually cost farmers about half of that.”
