This is not something to be proud of. Can you show me examples of the American Library Association opposing Christians, embracing marxism, or refusing to protect our children? Can you even explain what marxism is? Or is this just another talking point to rile up emotions?

The former director of Agape Boarding School pleaded with a Cole County judge on Monday to keep himself off the state’s central registry of child abuse and neglect so he can keep working with children. #moleg #mosen #mogov via @clarabatess

I am ashamed to be a Missourian this week. Between ripping out healthcare from 275,000 people to nullifying federal laws in the state, the only people who will benefit from all of this are the lawyers.

It's important to show up for rural women. That's why I'm looking forward to being at the pro-choice rally in Maryville, Missouri.

I usually drive to KC, but we have to show up for rural women too, so I’m organizing a rally in Maryville. Please share this. Please show up. I’ll be there even if it’s just me, but I hope to show folks that we are here too.

Missouri Children's Division is doing this. They don't just take SSI. They take survivor benefits from Social Security, Railroad Pensions and Veterans' benefits. If a child in foster care receives a lump sum payment, the state takes it. State law mandates this.

Child welfare agencies are taking foster children's Social Security benefits. They take $180 million annually from the most at-risk children in the country. Congress needs to put a stop to it. @FREOPP #fostercare

It is appropriate for the Attorney General to investigate allegations of abuse of the medical system, including those against the WashU gender clinic. It is not appropriate for the Attorney General's office to publicize or politicize such investigations. There's a difference.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you a politician who doesn't know the difference between a personal attack and commentary on legislation. This State Senator thinks if you attack a bill as offensive, you're attacking the sponsor. Prime example of what's wrong in politics now.

When you politicize public health and attack the people whose job it is is to keep the community healthy, you lose those public health workers. Be careful what you ask for.

The Missouri House is continuing the Special Session, beyond the Governor's call, to pass a do-nothing resolution rejecting the results of the 2020 Presidential Election. The resolution has no binding power and only serves to degrade faith in our democracy. And spends taxpayer $

I can't get over the fact that a top elected official in #Missouri is arguing that the state cannot do anything to protect #children from #abuse unless a judge first orders that the unregulated facility where they live be shut down.

What does it mean that Missouri state workers are nearly the lowest paid in the country? It means government workers don't make enough money to feed their families. It means some state workers qualify for welfare benefits. 1/

Got a nasty email this morning after I pointed out a need for a mask mandate in response to both the Governor and the president contracting COVID; she asked that I "rise above" politics. Advocating for good policy, and calling out bad, should be the primary goal of a politician.

A concentration camp. Here in Missouri. Filed with children. I hate to share this information. It is horrific. It's also not the first time I've heard these allegations. Any of them. From different victims. A torture colony.

Right off the bat, paragraph 1 compares Agape to a "concentration camp or a torture colony cloaked in the guise of religion."

If Police can't take guns and ammunition away from dangerous people, And family can't take guns and ammunition away from dangerous people, Then what exactly are the constitutional rights of the rest of us? The 2nd amendment is a clause in the constitution, not the entire thing

Missouri law allows dangerous people to possess high-powered firearms and 600 rounds of ammunition even when family members come to police for help. That's because elected officials thought passing a stupid law for political credit was more important than protecting kids' lives.
