On Saturday the annual Warrensburg Pride Festival took place at the same venue as last year. The well-attended family friendly event included vendors, information, activities, entertainment, music, discussions, speeches, swag, food (and an outdoor food truck!). There were protesters.

Several statewide and local Democratic Party candidates attended and spoke at the event.

Elad Gross (D), the Democratic Party candidate for Attorney General, attended, spoke to the crowd, and visited one-on-one with attendees.

Elad Gross (D).


.

Elad Gross (D): [….] As Attorney General I will start Missouri’s first civil rights division in the history of our state. It’s about damn time that we have one [applause]. Twenty other, at least twenty other, twenty-eight other states have one. Most states have one, including the, uh, vaunted Democratic capital of Oklahoma. I mean, come on, like, we need to have one. Okay? And we need to protect our rights, we need to protect our rights to reproductive freedom, which we will put in the state Constitution this November [applause]. We need to protect our rights on the job, we need to protect our rights in education, we need to protect our rights in public housing.

And I know that the state legislature refuses to pass the Missouri Non-discrimination Act, or MONA, which is a statute that would say you cannot discriminate against folks because they’re gay, because they’re a member of the LGBTQ community.

Well, I’ll tell you what. Whether or not they want to pass that law we are going to enforce that right. Because that is the right that every American and every Missourian already has. And our civil rights division will make sure that right is protected here in the State of Missouri [applause].

[….]

I think we need an Attorney General who represents the people of the State of Missouri, not big government, not big corporations that are paying for them, but for you and your family. And as your Attorney General I will get that office working for you again.

It’s about time that your rights are protected in our state and it’s about time that those folks who want to take ’em away suffer the consequences. So, we’ve got a lot of folks that we got to get elected, we got a whole lot of folks that we got to start suing, and I would be honored to be your next Attorney General to do that.

“…There is nothing these hate-filled people can do to stop me from representing you. I am not withdrawing from the race. I am not resigning from public life, whatever that means. I will never give up on Missouri….”

Today:

Elad Gross For Missouri
[December 15, 2023]

Last night, our only Democratic primary opponent dropped out of the race for Attorney General. She posted a statement and a video claiming that my family members and I are foreign agents of Israel while endorsing a Twitter screed alleging that my mother and I are interfering in Missouri’s elections.
My opponent also called on me to “resign from the Missouri Attorney General’s race and from public life.”

For the past week and a half, my family has been targeted by a group of antisemitic conspiracy theorists who spent many months manipulating a sitting Missouri state representative for their personal gain. At one point, these people openly discussed trying to access Missouri taxpayer money for one of their companies to map the DNA of foster children.

I don’t know how these con artists were able to do this to someone I knew for seven years. I am very worried for her, and I’m worried about what else these people have planned for Missouri. I know they’re not done targeting my family; they continued their attacks against my mom, my wife, and me late into last night.

Throughout my very public career, the only clients I have ever had are the People of Missouri. As an Assistant Attorney General, I had the honor of representing them all at once. As a civil rights and government transparency attorney, I just do it one at a time, and those cases are also about protecting the liberties that all of us should have as Americans and as Missourians.

There is nothing these hate-filled people can do to stop me from representing you. I am not withdrawing from the race. I am not resigning from public life, whatever that means. I will never give up on Missouri.

I am running to be your Attorney General for a lot of reasons, and you can read all about them on our website. At the end of the day, it’s because I love our state, I love working with people who want to make Missouri even better, and I know what a wonderful home we can build right here together.
So let’s go get this done.

If you can, do a couple things today:

1) Donate to our campaign at http://www.EladGross.org to support the crucial work our new regional organizers are doing all over our state, and

2) Send me an email at Elad@Elad4MO.org with your ideas for events, get-togethers, whatever you can think of so we can build a campaign that will bring home a big win in November.

Elad Gross, a Democratic Party candidate for Missouri Attorney General, spoke Sunday afternoon at a gathering of 4th Congressional District Democrats.

Elad Gross (D).

Remarks [edited for length]:

.

Folks, my name is Elad Gross. I am running to be your Attorney General so we can get this state working for us again. It is so important that we get this done…

[….]

So first, I was a former Assistant Attorney General of Missouri back when the Attorney General’s office used to function. And it’s been a while.

[….]

This is about energizing the Missouri Democratic Party so we stand up for working families in our state. That is what this is about. And this is a particular moment when we can do it.

And I would be remiss if I didn’t mention this. But the UAW right now is on strike. And the first facility that they chose, the first one listed….by the President of the UAW, Shawn Fain, was the one in Wentzville [Missouri]. The one in Wentzville. And the reason is, because in 2019, I was standing with them in that time, too, in 2019 they did such a good job. They were so together, they collected resources from all over the community. They did such a good job of leadership that they wanted them to be first. And they are proud to be striking now, because the work that they are doing isn’t just for them, it’s about whether we are going to be a country that supports working folks in our, in the United States of America.

Whether we’re going to be able to afford to go to good schools. And to be able to have good roads. And to have good housing. Or whether we’re gonna have crappy everything just because a bunch of rich people want to get even richer.

It’s about time. It’s about time that our government, that this country, supports regular people, not just those who have a whole ton of money.

This is a decision we have to make now. Absolutely. This is a decision that we have to make as a party, as a state, as a country. And this is the work that we have to get done together in this election. Because when we go down the wrong path on this, at this crucial moment, it’s very hard to go down the right one afterward.

Folks, this is a particular moment, not just for one campaign, it’s really about building a community that folks can rely on each other within. And I can’t think of a better place to do that then the great State of Missouri because of all of you…

Judge rules Missouri AG had no authority to order end of school mask mandates
Former Attorney General Eric Schmitt’s public attacks on school districts led to ‘even greater confusion than the pandemic had already caused’
BY: JASON HANCOCK – MAY 27, 2023

Former Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt lacked any legal authority to order school districts to end COVID-19 mitigation measures, a Jackson County judge ruled Friday.

In his 18-page decision, Judge Marco Roldan concluded that the attorney general’s office did not follow Missouri law when it demanded last year that Lee’s Summit R-7 School District rescind the measures put in place to mitigate the spread of COVID-19.

Schmitt sued Lee’s Summit, along with 46 other school districts, then amplified his attacks on social media, “encouraging parents and students to defy the authority granted to the board of education by Missouri law,” Roldan wrote.

That led to “even greater confusion than the pandemic had already caused.”

“The attorney general lacked any legal authority to insert himself into the school district’s efforts to manage the COVID-19 pandemic,” Roldan wrote.
[….]

Via a link at the Missouri Independent:

[….]
Former Attorney General Eric Schmitt twice directed the Lee’s Summit R-7 School District to rescind its COVID-19 mitigation measures, even though its Board of Education had validly adopted those measures under Missouri statutes giving the Board of Education broad powers to control and govern the School District’s operations. The Attorney General did not identify statutes or constitutional provisions to support his order, resting his directive instead on a judgment in another case to which no school district was a party, and whose rationale did not apply to the School District. The Attorney General then amplified his orders on social media, encouraging parents and students to defy the authority granted to the Board of Education by Missouri law. Parents and students followed the Attorney General’s lead, leading to even greater confusion than the pandemic had already caused.

Aside from lacking any authority over locally elected boards of education, the Attorney General’s orders did not follow Missouri law and were therefore without legal force or effect. Neither Attorney General Schmitt nor his successor has disavowed the orders, and in fact, the Attorney General continues to insist that school districts lack the very authority granted them under Missouri law.
[….]

[….]
This case began with a petition filed by then-Attorney General Eric S. Schmitt on behalf of the State of Missouri. Several individual plaintiffs joined in the petition. Broadly speaking, the petition alleged that the Board of Education of the Lee’s Summit R-7 School District acted unlawfully by adopting a mask mandate in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The School District denied many of the material allegations of the petition and asserted a counterclaim against the Attorney General. Its counterclaim sought a declaratory judgment that the Attorney General exceeded his lawful authority when he issued and publicized through social media letters to the School District and its Superintendent ordering them to rescind the School District’s mask mandate and abandon other COVID-19 mitigation measures.

The Attorney General and the individual plaintiffs voluntarily dismissed their petition less than two months after filing it, leaving only the School District’s counterclaim for the Court to resolve. Both parties have moved for summary judgment since there are no genuine issues of material fact and the School District’s counterclaim raises only questions of law. The Court agrees there are no material issues of fact. After carefully considering the arguments raised by the parties, the Court GRANTS the School District’s motion for summary judgment and DENIES the Attorney General’s motion for summary judgment.
[….]

[….]
The Attorney General also posted Facebook messages asking parents to notify him about “school districts continuing to enforce mask mandates and quarantines, in violation of the recent Cole County ruling” and to notify him of “mask mandates that are null and void under the judgment.”
[….]

[….]
The Attorney General has argued that his letters were standard cease and desist letters that any prospective litigant is free to send as a precursor to litigation. The Court rejects this post-hoc rationalization because it ignores both the tenor and threat of future orders of the letters and the social media posts the Attorney General distributed to amplify them. It also elides the interpretation of the orders the public had of the Attorney General’s authority. The letters were not supported by statute or legal precedent and were subject to misinterpretation of the laws of the State of Missouri. The clear intent of the Attorney General’s letters, particularly in view of his later communications and social media posts, was to leave the School District and the public with the impression he had authority he did not have.
[….]

[….]
The Attorney General’s December 7 and 9 letters to the School District, stating that the School District was bound by the Robinson judgment was an incorrect statement of the law and was interpreted by lay persons as the law of the State of Missouri.

The Court therefore GRANTS the School District’s motion for summary judgment and DENIES the Attorney General’s motion for summary judgment. As a result, the Court enters judgment for the Lee’s Summit R-7 School District, and declares that the Attorney General’s December 7, 2021 to the Lee’s Summit R-7 School District and his December 9, 2021 letter to the School District’s Superintendent exceeded the Attorney General’s authority, and had no legal force or effect.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
[….]

Interestingly, Eric Schmitt (r) has yet to say anything about this on social media.

Losing. Again.

Today:

Attorney General Andrew Bailey @AGAndrewBailey
First it was gas stoves, then dishwashers, and now it’s refrigerators.

The Biden Administration is moving yet again to exceed its authority and unlawfully interfere in Missourians’ rights to be free from government interference. My office isn’t standing for it.

What a clown.

Some of the responses to Andrew Bailey (r):

Jess Piper @piper4missouri
First it was gay folks, then child-bearing women, and now it’s trans kids.

The Missouri AG is moving yet again to exceed his authority and unlawfully interfere in Missourians’ rights to be free from government interference.

His office is totally cool with it.
2:26 PM · May 17, 2023

More responses:

[….] We don’t care Andy. We are tired of your performative lawsuits to try to further your political career instead of doing things that actually benefit Missourians. So far your focus has been harming the citizens of Missouri.

Speaking of exceeding authority and unlawfully interfering with the rights of Missourians, let me introduce you to our Attorney General, Andrew Bailey….who actually sent this tweet unironically. [….]

You’re one to whine about exceeding authority, you just got your face slapped. Wasting our money again on nothing, eh?

That’s coincidental since you were trying to tell people what they can and can’t do with their own bodies, banning trans healthcare… but you’re worried about government interference? You’re such a fraud. Maybe focus on the real issues instead of this non sense.

Now do women’s bodies

Bailey, when do you plan on doing something worthwhile for Missouri citizens & stop trying to create further division amongst its people for your own political gain?

Thank you! Keep fighting against his communist dictatorship.

Just stop!

Says the man who wants the government to have a hand in my reproductive health.

Talk about the government exceeding its authority. You want the state government to legislate women and transgenders’ bodies. I’d rather have the government involved with my appliances than my uterus. #Hypocrisy , #mogovSUCKS

No one came for my stove. No one came for my dishwasher. And no one is coming for my refrigerator.

YOU came for abortion rights. For books. Libraries. Public schools. Medical decisions.

And now you’re coming for my voice by trying to suppress my initiative petition rights.

Ok we will give you your “refrigerator freedom” if you give me back my reproductive freedom. Don’t you dare mention GOP fighting for “freedom” again.

You’re desperate for attention

What next? Uteruses?

Good grief, Andrew. Nobody came for any of those things. Quit trying to rile up your impressionable fans over absolutely nothing. Even if they HAD taken my appliances, I’d much prefer that to them taking away my actual rights as a female and as a human being. Try harder.

Honestly, the last person who should be talking to about someone else exceeding their authority.

Cool more theater from our AG to boost his personal career [….]

Seriously?

This is Missouri.

sounds like the same old crap eric schmitt used to pull.

Same circus, different clown.

The standards apply to NEW APPLIANCES ONLY! And it saves energy and electricity. Nobody is coming for your fridge. Why are you lying about everything [….]

please go back to the kids’ table, Andrew.

The last time I heard your name mentioned it was because you were interfering with people’s right to healthcare.

Wait, wait, I just thought of something, what’s your stance on toilets?

But you’re fine regulating women’s health care?

What are you smoking?

Thank you for standing against this blatant overreach by the #WorldEconomicForum .

Please grow up and find yourself an interest that doesn’t harm the masses.

Too late.

Yet you’re fine with government interference in healthcare and taking away rights from Americans you don’t agree with.

Can’t have it both ways, hypocrite.

They’re funny that way.

So, you don’t believe the government should regulate anything in our homes…
But, our bodies need massive regulations?
Is that about right?

Things > People.

Why do we not want to move forward? Do you remember regular gas? Asbestos? Come on. Let’s move forward instead of trying to recreate some strange notion the 50s were amazing.

Do you read what you type before you hit send?

Evidently not.

Seriously, does anyone believe this?
I don’t know anyone who has had the Appliance Police come to their home.
I do know people who no longer have bodily autonomy.
Which do you think most people care about Andrew?

You seem pretty cool with interfering with our healthcare and basic human rights. No one is worried about refrigerators. You sound ridiculous!

Thank you so much for doing this and helping Missourians! We can’t afford to just get up and buy a new refrigerator, freezor, dishwasher, dryer and washer, or A.C. Thank you @GovParsonMO for choosing Andrew Bailey. You made the right choice.

Yes, there are people on this planet who are that stupid.

Please get out of Missouri’s pants before you talk about government overreach.

There’s that.

So tired of Biden admin trying to lay the foundation for a better tomorrow for my kids. Things should always suck forever. Why is that so hard for libs to understand? Improvements are un-American! Appreciate you doing your part in the revolving door of worthless MO AGs.

You waste so much of our time and money. JFC.

[….] setting up new standards for appliances moving forward that are more cost efficient for their owners and better for the environment does not do anything to any of the shitty appliances you already own. Stop with the fake culture outrage. We are all tired of it.

Thank You please keep telling Biden to stay out of my life as a Missourian. And please continue to stand up for kids of Missouri born and unborn just as the bible says.

Interesting. Does the Bible say anything else?

Yes because clearly Missouri is the beacon of freedom…good lord. These republicans will do anything to distract you from their true agenda as they usher that state into fascism.

Missouri voters – either stop falling for this nonsense or embrace your future as a dystopian state.

Too late, we’re already there.

Another grifter using taxpayer dollars to fund his election campaigning.

Is this sarcasm? You interfere in individuals’ health decisions, ban books, and destroy reproductive rights — but reducing greenhouse gas emissions and lower consumer costs — that you’re against? Nobody is taking anyone’s appliances; this is fomenting conflict where none exists.

Complete horseshit.

it’s just amazing, seeing the sheer festering intellectual dishonesty from the man

My god you’re insane. You tried to unconstitutional take away adults access to life saving gender affirming care and you think pushing for greener appliances is “overreach” you are all projection aren’t you fascist?

It’s sad that you think your constituents are stupid enough to buy that pile of 💩 you just spewed.

Sadly, enough are.

You really think people are THAT stupid?!

Yes. This has been another edition of Short Answers to Simple Questions.

You do realize that the government has been regulating appliances for LITERALLY DECADES right? Decades, moron. Oh, that’s right. You’re only worried about harassing and abusing LGBTQIA+ folks and performative nonsense instead of doing your ACTUAL job.

Josh Hawley Violates Sunshine Law While State’s Top Attorney
Feb 02, 2019

[….]

Missouri Democratic Party Executive Director, Lauren Gepford, released the following statement:

“’t has become abundantly clear that Josh Hawley used his taxpayer-paid office as Attorney General to climb the ladder to the U.S. Senate, and apparently was willing to disregard the laws he swore to uphold in doing so. When the very person charged with enforcing our Sunshine Law can’t be trusted to follow it, Missourians’ trust in their government is undermined. Senator Hawley is no different from those career politicians he blasts on the campaign trail.’
