Before we start hearing the Trump administration blame this mass shooting on mental health, let’s review what they’ve done in 8 months:

1. In May, Trump refused to renew $1B in grants that originated during the Biden administration to increase mental health support in schools. Image
2. In June, Trump cut $11 billion in grants that were supposed to run through September. The grants were meant to help states address mental health and addiction. Image
3. Trump has proposed $31 billion cuts to HHS’s discretionary budget which is expected to negatively impact funding for behavioral health services. Image
4. Trump and the Republicans in Congress cut $1T from Medicaid, our country’s largest source of funding for mental health and addiction services. Image

Tried not to be surprised. Josh Hawley is lying about Amendment 3 requiring transgender treatment and gender affirming care for minors because they’re losing on abortion. /1 stltoday.com/news/local/gov…
Below is the text of the Amendment. It does not mention transgender treatments or gender affirming care. /2 Image
Mary Ziegler, a law professor at UC Davis said that abortion restrictions and transgender care are sometimes legally connected but not because they’re viewed as reproductive care. They’re connected because the legal opposition to both relies on arguments of sex discrimination. /3 Image

Down ballot candidates get very little if any national help in Missouri. It’s like we’ve been written off. Lucas Kunce is getting some national media attention but we have so many other good candidates going up against the GOP war chest, billionaires and Fox. I’ll share some:
First up, if we’re thinking about electing our first woman president, how about the first woman governor of Missouri? As minority leader in our state legislature, Crystal Quade has done the Lord’s work staving off the most extreme policies of the GOP. crystalquade.com
Bethany Mann is running to represent MO-3 in DC. Her opponent? He tried to ban IUDs in the state senate. He will vote for a national abortion ban. Even though he’s a doctor and profited from vax research, he opposed public health measures during COVID. bethanymannforcongress.com

Ed Martin isn’t just a “well-known social conservative activist”. He ran the Stop The Steal grift with Alexander Ali and helped rally people to the Capitol on January 6th. He was at the rally. Now he’s writing abortion policy for the GOP. washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/…
Image
He runs a 501(c)3 raising money for people arrested for attacking the Capitol. That’s him, next to the Pillow Guy at a fundraiser for Trump.
Phyllis Schlafly’s Eagles were a co-sponsor of the Stop the Steal rally resulting in the attack on the Capitol. Ed Martin is not just a “well-known conservative activist” unless WaPo is conceding that supporting and encouraging insurrection is now synonymous with conservatism.

I heard voters on Morning Joe say they think Trump has or had good policies. They just wish he would stop posting on social media and shut up. What policies are they talking about?? The policy where he hands our foreign policy over to Russia like a swag bag full of freebies? /1
Or is it the policy where he trashes our environment and poisons not just but future generations? /2 nytimes.com/interactive/20…
Image
Do they like the policy of school shootings and gun violence? Because I don’t see Trump or even the next generic Republican administration doing anything about those two issues. /3

Where do criminals get their guns? Last year, the ATF released a report. You want to keep guns outta the hands of criminals? Start here: #moleg

1. 54% of guns used in crimes can be traced back to a legal purchase. npr.org/2023/02/10/115…
Image
2. In 5 yrs, more than 1,000,000 guns were stolen. Those are the ones we know about because when a gun is stolen, owners are not required to report it. Image
3. Ghost guns, privately made firearms, are not serialized and are virtually untraceable. The number of ghost guns recovered and sent to the ATF for tracing “‘increased by 1,083% from 2017-2021’”. Image

Is this how @DougRichey is “holding gov’t accountable” and “stewarding our tax dollars”? Hawley’s campaign directed taxpayer-paid staff in the AG’s office and racked up $250K in fines. stltoday.com/news/local/gov…

Image
Image
Seems like Republicans in #moleg let Josh Hawley write the playbook for how to use taxpayer resources for campaigns. Eric Schmitt used the AG’s office to get to the U.S. Senate. stltoday.com/news/local/gov…

Image
Image
Conveniently, Eric Schmitt didn’t keep track of who was paying for his travel when he was AG running for the Senate. Seems like it would be hard to “hold government accountable” if you don’t have the records. @DougRicheyMO aol.com/news/eric-schm…
