Missouri faces budget crunch as capital gains tax cut hits harder than expected  • Missouri Independent The capital gains tax cut passed this year by Missouri will cost far more than expected and shrink state revenues, a new estimate shows.

Congrats to you and your team Marc!

The truth is urgent legislative work. You were the one who refused to swear in Rep. Grijalva for 50 days"

So you mistakenly dismembered a journalist?

Saudi Crown Prince Is Held Responsible for Khashoggi Killing in U.S. Report (Published 2021)

A ProPublica investigation found little evidence to back up the government’s claims. For the first time, the Venezuelans arres...

"300 agents stormed the building, rappelled from a helicopter, knocked down doors and hurled flash-bang grenades. Agents ziptied and detained many US citizens for hours..."

Louisiana — the red state that Mike Johnson nominally represents — has the second highest percentage of residents enrolled in SNAP in the nation.

They’re pushing this fantasy about these being “Democrat programs” used only in blue states but that’s a PR fantasy divorced from reality.

Gonna be nice to be at the table with @nicollewallace.bsky.social today. Deadline Whitehouse. MSNOW.

This shows the rank unprofessionalism in Trump DOJ. Stunning.

Say WHAT??!!!
