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.

Meanwhile, here in #Missouri:

Despite a major spike in active positive cases of #COVIDー19 in #AudrainCounty (from 22 to 46 on Friday, alone, in a county of ~25K), testing numbers **WILL NOT BE REPORTED AGAIN UNTIL MAY 26**, because of #MemorialDayWeekend.

1/ Also (per @MexLedgerCD): During this sudden uptick, Audrain Co.'s drive-thru testing site at St. Mary’s Hospital, in Mexico, Mo., "will be closed Monday in observance of #MemorialDay."

The next closest testing site is in Columbia — 40 MILES AWAY. bit.ly/2ZvGxxB
