Yesterday at the Missouri Ethics Commission, first for the PAC propping up Governor Mike Parson (r):

C180490 07/23/2020 Uniting Missouri PAC AMERICAN FEDERATION FOR CHILDREN 1020 19TH ST NW SUITE 675 WASHINGTON DC 20036 7/22/2020 $25,000.00

[emphasis added]

That one is ironic on so many levels.

‘They’re going to get over it’: Missouri Gov. insists kids must go back to school even though ‘they will’ get COVID-19

And:

C190784 07/23/2020 Believe in Life and Liberty – BILL PAC American Federation For Children 1020 19th NW Ste 675 Washington DC 20036 7/23/2020 $25,000.00

For, of, same difference, right?

Well done.

I’m Ashley Aune and I’m running for state representative in Missouri’s 14th house district. If we haven’t met yet it may be because campaigning looks a little different these days. But it’s more important than ever to elect someone who will do whatever it takes to represent you. As a business owner and lifelong Kansas Cityian I’ll bring a unique perspective to the Missouri legislature, one that focuses on creating and nurturing opportunities for economic success, both for our families and our business community.

As your state rep I want to be a voice for progress in the Northland. You can trust me to fight for the best educational opportunities for all our children, quality affordable health care access to keep our families and workforce strong, a fair and transparent government that works for everyone, protections for the workers and union members who move our economy forward, and a balanced approach to ensuring the safety of our families in the face of crime, gun violence, and inequality.

Ashley Aune.

Well done.

Funny that.

This morning:

Josh Hawley @HawleyMO
Still waiting to hear back from the Smithsonian on this absurd and offensive chart. I want to know who came up with it and who signed off on it. So far, crickets
[….]

“…I want to know who came up with it…”

Uh, their name is listed as a source at the bottom.

A few of the comments:

Karen, the manager is busy.

Still waiting to hear back from @HawleyMO on tweets and calls to his office asking for his position on issues that impact Missourians. I want to know why a senator who ignores his constituents thinks he has any room to call others out. So far, crickets

I want Congress to act on Russian bounties on our military men & women. Still waiting on my Senator. So far, crickets.

Still waiting to hear back from you about doing town halls

Ask yourself why is this offensive to you? Why does it make you uncomfortable? Is this information inaccurate? What part of it is untrue?

Hi Josh, I’m a constituent and I still haven’t recieved my first stimulus check. Can you manage things like that instead of this culture warring?

Why do you pick the absolute dumbest fights to fight?

2024? Just asking.

Your reply just validated the purpose of the chart. Well done Senator [Man facepalming]

Russians paying bounties for American soldiers. Still waiting from some sort of response. Crickets.

Are you following any of this Covid stuff, Senator? How about the economy? What about the Russians paying a bounty for the lives of U.S. soldiers? Maybe you should pick up a newspaper….

Josh you gonna be okay? You’re doing so much hard work on all the important things during this trying time.

Crickets.
