Today at the Missouri Ethics Commission in support of the initiative to preserve and expand Missouri voters’ voices:

C264382 10/02/2026 Vote Yes on Amendment 6 Americans for Fairness 6170 Joliet Rd, Suite 200 Countryside IL 60525 10/1/2026 $250,000.00

C264382 10/02/2026 Vote Yes on Amendment 6 Respect MO Voters Campaign PO Box 901802 Kansas City MO 64190 10/1/2026 $50,000.00

[emphasis added]

On the November ballot:

Amendment 6

[….]

Shall the Missouri Constitution be amended to:

– expand the initiative and referendum petition process by making it a fundamental right;
– allow courts to revise ballot summaries through lawsuits;
– prohibit the legislature from weakening initiative or referendum powers;
– prohibit the legislature from changing or repealing laws enacted through the initiative process, or passing laws similar to those rejected by referendum, – without approval from at least 80% of both chambers; and
– preserve existing majority vote and signature requirements for initiative and referendum petitions?

State and local governmental entities estimate no costs or savings.

Fair Ballot Language:

A “yes” vote will prohibit the people’s elected representatives from directly amending or changing any law enacted through the initiative process; require that any modifications to laws enacted through the initiative process be referred to the people by a vote of at least 80% of each chamber of the General Assembly; restrict the legislature from passing laws that limit the ability to pursue initiatives and referenda; maintain the current signature requirements of five percent of the individual legal voters in each of two-thirds of Missouri’s congressional districts for proposing a law; maintain the current signature requirement of eight percent of individual legal voters in each of two-thirds of Missouri’s congressional districts for proposing a constitutional amendment; and maintain the current requirement that a simple statewide majority of votes cast on a measure by individual legal voters is sufficient to enact any law or constitutional amendment.

[….]

It is a plan.

Vote ‘Yes’ on Amendment 6.

Previously:

Campaign Finance: off to the races (September 12, 2026)

Campaign Finance: off to the races – part 2 (September 14, 2026)

Eric Schmitt (r) [2022 file photo].

Today:

Senator Eric Schmitt
[October 1, 2026]

Fraudsters are bleeding American taxpayers dry.
President Trump and VP JD Vance are going after the criminals who got rich ripping you off.
You earned that money. They stole it.
[…]

Like a family of grifters ripping off rubes for billions in the last two years? Just asking.

Some of the responses:

It true! Some people are even making feral shit up in Senate hearings, and destroying their entire political future.

You are a #Dipschmitt.

Like the Atlanta Hawks?

Red-tailed Hawk. Buteo jamaicensis.

So Trump and JD are going after each other??? I’m picturing a Spy vs Spy kind of scenario

Is someone a fraud if they falsely accuse someone of doing something they didn’t do?

Is it the Hawks or Hawkeyes that are bleeding us dry?

Can you help me settle a bet with a friend? They say your middle name Dip, and I think it’s The. Which is it?

it’s Dumb, with a “B”.

You mean like the Reflecting Pool?

The Lake of Warm Ooze.

So you’re saying they have Hawkeyes, not to be confused with just Hawks.

Where was this filmed, Atlanta or Iowa?

I didn’t think you’d have the balls to come out in public for at least a week

I’d start with the office of the President. That’s in Washington D.C by the way. (It’s next to Maryland, where I hear the Seahawks have played).

Attempted pivot.

Desperately trying to save his reputation, as if he had a good one to begin with

multiple pivots and he’s getting ROASTED each time he posts another one.

Rick Scott on the list?

Florida!

Yeah! I was gonna use that money to go see the Atlanta Hawks! Or, wait…was it the Iowa Hawkeyes?

I came for the comments…..

here for memes…I hope to find some … Thoughts and prayers for my meme journey please 🙏🏼

He was in Chicago to watch the Blackhawks. Or was it Kansas to see the Jayhawks? Or was it Seattle to see the Seahawks?

The irony here is hilarious. 😂

Satire?

Sadly, no.

Let’s ask the Hawkeyes

Are you going to see the Cardinals play at the Vatican?

Cardinal. Cardinalis cardinalis.
Canon 5D III, 2.8 70-200 mm, 2x III.
F 5.6, 1/1600, ISO 1250, 360 mm.

Arizona or St. Louis? Not that Eric knows the difference.

Yea? Who paid for that big poster about a Hawkeyes game in Maryland?

Put it on a poster so we can all see the “facts”

Did you learn this at the Hawkeyes game?

In Australia we call it tap dancing.

Squirrel!

The call is coming from inside the house…

Coming clean are we ? 🙄

Do you have receipts on this claim?

1600 Pennsylvania Avenue…..

Gotta try to save face any way you can, right? Lol

🤫
i’m turning down the volume,
popcorn 🍿 in hand, here to read
the comments 🤡
🤣

Start at 1600 Pennsylvania ave.

Did you get the inside scoop from your colleague Rick Scott on that?

Florida!

Wondering: are those Hawks in the room with you now?

So Trump and Vance at the top of the list. This will be interesting.

Ah so this is a satire page

Are you going to make a poster about it.

“Only You Can Prevent Fascist Liars”
(2025)
Posterboard. Permanent marker, acrylic. 22 x 28.

Love it when Senators call themselves out like this. Heartwarming.

Dirtbag!!!!

Are we getting the tariff money back?

Sadly, no.

I’m so confused now about the basketball teams. Which is what and who’s on first?

Gaslighting at its peak

OMG! Too many hilarious comments! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Going to a basketball game anytime soon?

Question for you, how many pardons have been issued during Trump’s second term have been for individuals convicted of fraud? I’m just curious if we’re talking all fraud or just certain types of fraud.

Are the Buckeyes playing the Hawkeyes in Columbus Georgia this weekend?

Took a hawk eye to find that out 🤣🤣🤣🤣

It’s crazy how some people need no proof to believe a lie, but demand endless proof to accept the truth.

You should know.

Desperate attempt at damage control . . . but it’s not working.

Quick…change the subject…lol

Schmitt is watching them like a Hawk! 🤣😂😆

Oh my.

Eric Schmitt (r) [2026 file photo].

Yesterday:

Eric Schmitt
[September 29, 2026]

🚨Big news and a home state win—the Navy F/A XX will be built by Missourians
St. Louis is Fighterland, USA
I worked with President Trump to bring home the F-47 and fought hard to bring the F/A-XX to St. Louis as well
This is a WIN for Missouri and for our national security.

Uh, something else happen yesterday? Just asking.

There is much hilarity and piling on in the responses to Eric Schmitt (r):

Ah yes, St. Louis, home of the Arizona Cardinals

Great comments folks. This guy made a fool out of himself.

Are you sure it isn’t the Atlanta Hawks???

==========

That yo-yo spent hundreds of dollars just to make the idiotic sign.

I’m sure he spent taxpayer money on that.

==========

A few years ago St. Louis had a Hawks and my beloved Hazelwood High School is home of Hawks in North County.

Are you sure? There are poster boards to help you recall.

==========

maybe the Hawkeyes!

maybe the Golden State Warriors.

Eric Sh*tmitt ever hear of Women’s Basketball??

In my life my 65 years on this planet I have never seen a US congressman or senator make such a jackass of themselves as this idiot did today on national TV what a dumbass.

He said St. Louis, but we can’t be sure it’s not Louisville. Maybe a poster board will help?

especially one Senator Foghorn Leghorn Kennedy is holding up lol

It’s the poster board, it took me out.

‘St. Louis, which my staff has assured me is not Atlanta…’

Marked safe from not confusing the Hawks with the Hawkeyes.

Bro didn’t just miss the shot, he got called for traveling across state line

We see what you did there.

Hawks versus Hawkeyes. Run Eric run.

And here I thought he was obsessed with college sports.

Are sure it’s St. Louis, and not Phoenix, or Louisville? It’s hard to keep these teams and towns straight.

right there in River City.

Trouble, trouble, trouble, trouble…

They gonna call it the Hawkeye?

Atlanta Hawks or War Hawks?

Fighterland USA…do they have a mascot? Hope its not a Hawk….
[….]

‘St. Louis is home to the Navy F/A XX, the coyotes, the lakers, the Packers, and Atlanta. Yes, the whole thing and no, you can’t check that.’

For your future reference, Navy are the ‘Midshipmen’

Are we sure that we’re not in Atlanta, Senator?

You mean the Hawks?

My work here has already been done by others…..🤣🤣🤣

Just to clarify, you’re talking about St Louis MO and not St Louis Park MN, right? Making sure you don’t have another snafu moment 😉.

3

Senator Amy Klobuchar (D) [2019 file photo]

Heh.

Another distinction Senator Klobuchar could school him on, for sure.

That’d be two zingers in one day for AK.

The jokes write themselves.

You sure it isn’t going to Iowa, Eric?! 😂

Maybe Atlanta, Minnesota?

Not sure where Fighterland is. Maybe the Hawks play there.

Lets rename the jets the Fighter Hawks.

Wow… so, that’s kind of a slam dunk? Way to bring that three pointer home! Maybe it will distract from your technical foul earlier today. Sorry, these jokes are a bit of a lay up.

Jack Smith much?

Are we sure it’s not the Hawkeyes?

That’s not the big Eric Schmitt news for today, is it?

Squirrel!

Can it carry Toma-Hawkeye missiles?

Are you sure it’s for Missouri? It’s not for Atlanta and its NBA team? 🙄

You are talking about St Louis, MO, right? Not St Louis, LA? or California. Or Michigan or Oregon or Virginia. I know it can get confusing where certain things are, geographically….

You sure it’s not Atlanta?

Is that the one nicknamed Hawkeye?

Hey, Eric, did you ever figure out the difference between the Iowa Hawkeyes Women’s basketball team, and the Atlanta Hawks yet?

You sure you got the right state this time?

You know that St. Louis isn’t in Texas, right?

You sure it wasn’t a Grumman E-2 Hawkeye? 🤡

Slipped that one in under the radar. Nicely done.

Is it codenamed “Hawk?”

Don’t you mean Iowa?

Boeing, whatever you do, don’t give the plane the nickname “hawk” or “hawkeye” or this guy will get really confused!

Is this the right state Eric? 😂

Do you know St. Louis isn’t in Georgia?👀😆

This ratio is giving me life. Best to hang it up for the day ‘lil buddy.

The look on your staff’s faces when they suddenly realized their future tenure as VP aides wasn’t happening was pretty funny!

it was hysterical- like “ oh no, I’m never gonna get to be on the Eric Schmitt cabinet” because the world is laughing at him

…but what about that Maryland-Iowa game? Good one, eh?

Who here among us has not confused the Atlanta Hawks with the Iowa Hawkeyes?

It’ll fly like a Hawk! Or maybe a Hawkeye…

You sure it’s the Navy? For real for real…you sure?

‘YMCA!….’

Not the F-117 Nighthawk?

Hawks, Hawkeyes. Same thing only different

The F/A XX shall be nicknamed the Hawk

Red-tailed Hawk. Buteo jamaicensis.

How ’bout them Hawks?

Are you sure it isn’t Army tanks by Iowans?

Are you sure it’s not being built in Iowa?

Are you trying to change the subject? I thought we were talking about the Hawkeyes😂😂

Squirrel!

Are you sure about this? Do you have a poster board?

so its not gonna fly?

You sure it wasn’t an Old Navy?

Quick, change the subject!

schmitt brought the receipts today. Unfortunately it was a Target receipt he brought to Walmart

Dayam.

You sure it’s St. Louis? Could be Louisville Ky.

Naming competition for the F/A XX will be between the Hawk and the Hawkeyes

Are you sure you’re a St Louis Cardinals fan? Are you sure you’re not a fan of the Springfield Cardinals, the Ball State Cardinals, or the Louisville Cardinals?

Are you sure it is being built for the Navy not the Air Force? Better double check yiur notes…

Will it be built in Atlanta, College Park, or Iowa City? Do you know the difference?

Is that the one the Ambassador to China promised them? 😬

Fought hard. Who were you fighting?

Bet you felt the need to post this after your day today.

You sure they are building here? Or is it Iowa?

I want to say something funny using “Dirtbag”, but I can’t stop laughing.

Are you sure it is the Navy? or Army? is it planes or trains?

Instead of hawk for supper he’ll be eating crow.

Eric, which state sits directly north of Missouri?
A. Georgia
B. Maryland
C. Iowa
D. I’ll lie to get a ‘gotcha” viral moment during a Senate hearing

Apologize yet?

Do you need a poster????

Loved your act today, when are you clowning next

Did you also know that the White Sox and Red Sox are different baseball teams?

OMG, loved your comedy act today. I am still roflmao. Are you going to take your show on the road again? I want to buy tickets for your act.

What would you say if I had a series of text messages..

are you sure you remember where Missouri is?

Minnesota State Screamin Eagles or the Philadelphia Eagles?

This comment section makes me happy

Careful Eric Schmitt don’t perjure yourself…

We see what you did there.

caitlin clark’s greatest assist of all time

Dayam.

Thanks for the update, Hawkeye.

Watched you on TV today. Hahahaha!!

Aaaaaiiiirrrrr balllll!!! 🤡

This distraction from your epic failure today is not working. 🦅👁️

Where does your state rank in education? Just curious 🤔

So much for V.P. possibility.

They consider that a feature, not a bug.

This comment section delivers 🍿

What’s up Senator? How’s your day going?

What is Josh doing all day?

He went for a run.

I was not in Atlanta, February 3rd, 2024. (In case anyone asks)

Have lunch with Denny tomorrow @ the Cracker Barrel

Dan Quayle sends his thanks.

Dayam.

Hey, I will give you $50 for that cool graphic you shared during the Jack Smith hearing.
Just DM me and we can work out the details.

Define home team

When does your Failing Up masterclass start?

Imagine thinking that this is some kind of flex. I only hope that curiosity gets the better of you and you actually spend all night scrolling through the comments.

I’m just glad that you were well prepared for the Smith hearing today and didn’t come off looking like a f-cking idiot. Thank you for not embarrassing yourself in front of the entire nation. You are truly a good and highly intelligent person.

And on and on….

Today:

Marisa Kabas @marisakabas.bsky.social
renaissance painting when the renaissance is really fucking stupid
[….]
1:31 PM · Sep 29, 2026

Heh.

Some of the responses:

Scoop — I’ve ID’d the two men sitting behind Sen. Eric Schmitt during his botched attack on Jack Smith this morning.

Ethan Harper (left) is Chief Counsel to Schmitt, and Andrew Ceonzo (right) is Counsel to Schmitt and the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Trial lawyer here. Cult behavior aside, conducting a hard cross (if that’s what you want to call it) based upon a false premise, then doubling down when that premise is openly proven false is more damaging than not showing up at all. But cults do what they do.

Embarrassing for Schmitt, but I guess only if he has integrity

Left to right:

“we got ’em.”

“do we got ’em though?”

“…we don’t got ’em.”

Dirtbag and His Douchebags, by Titian

Those are the faces of 2 attorneys who realize they gave really bad advice to their Senator.

When you realize you just Schmitt our pants…

The Dark Ages, I guess.

Now known as taking a Schmitt in the Senate.

the three stooges of the renaissance

He’s all kicked back in his chair – obstinate and oblivious still.

He was so incredibly smug during his time “on stage” here thinking he’d found something incredibly damaging to Mr Smith.

I love for him that he & his team screwed it all up royally.

He deserves to be mocked endlessly over this.

The look when you know you’ve done something stupid but did it anyway and then realize you’ll probably do it again

Hanlon’s razor, “Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.”

Future meme for when you realize you’re a dumbass.

Eric Schmitt (r) [2025 file photo].

This morning at the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing with witness Jack Smith:

emptywheel @emptywheel.bsky.social
[….]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH.

HAHAHAHAHAH.

Eric Schmitt just accused Jack Smith of lying about going to an Atlanta Hawk’s basketball game.

Smith went to see the Iowa Hawkeyes.

9:44 AM · Sep 29, 2026

“[Eric] Schmitt is a Fascist doosh”

Some of the responses:

🤔 Is that all they’ve got? lol

Thanks for the absolutely LOL I just had. Almost peed my pants I laughed so hard and long. 🤭😎😆

Incomplete staff work or deliberate misrepresentation of facts? I’ll take door number two.

That creep called Jack Smith a dirt bag. MAGA is slime.

I’m glad they’re wasting time on important discussions.

Fuck these people are beyond being embarrassed they’re so dumb. So far it looks like it’s blowing up in their fucking faces. Thank you for reminding us that the orange meat stick would’ve been convicted of serious crimes.

Is it the Mizzou Tigers or the Hamilton Tiger-Cats?

It’s a Missouri reference.

jesus

Maybe Natalie shouldn’t be in opposition research.

We see what you did there.

Is this all they have?

They never had anything.

Eric Schmitt is full of shit head clown in the Republican circus wasting time and tax payers money instead of fixing the economy and doing the jobs they were elected to do.Disgraceful.

Nothing to say but he has to fill his 5 minutes. Like Kennedy, they have nothing, they know Trump is guilty of all the stuff and Jack Smith had him dead to rights, and if it wasn’t for the machine covering up and excusing Satan, we would have a much better world.

Eric Schmitt is either a liar or a moron. Probably both.

Schmitt does not know ball.

Conspiracy peddling swatted down in real-time love to see it!

He was so certain of his “gotcha.” LMAO.

Schmitt’s “questioning” was embarrassing to him
and the State of Missouri.

Eric Schmitt’s big gotcha moment not only backfired on himself, but it also made him look like an ass.

Eric Schmitt (r) has always looked like an ass.

I just called his office and laughed for the whole message.

Now that’s funny.

right-wing morons are giving it their best

Schmitt is not a serious person.

it’s an instant SNL skit
[….]

Let’s call it was it is: #SchmittIsAnAssHat

Every single one of these repubs are complete morons

Douchebag extraordinaire

Heh. See image above.

Then he proceeds to call Smith a dirtbag. Schmitt was trying to play gotcha and it backfired on him! [Sen. Amy Klobuchar] (I don’t know you as they didn’t show her) chimed in with the correction, the score of the game and demanded Schmitt apologize to Smith!

Klobuchar just confirmed it was a University of Maryland/Iowa Hawkeyes game that Smith attended (in Maryland)
Smith testified that he went to the game, because he wanted to see Caitlin Clark play. That will make MAGAs implode.
and Eric Schmitt exposed again, as an incompetent dirtbag

Hawks, Hawkeyes, NBA team, womens college team. Who can tell the difference? So confusing!

His face was beet red.

“You can’t fix stupid”

An embarrassment to the Judiciary Committee, the U.S. Senate, Missouri, and the U.S.A.

Schmitt calling Mr. Smith a ‘dirtbag’ is rich. Schmitt is one of the purest examples of MAGA scum.

He used this as the basis to accuse Smith of being in Atlanta at that time to meet with Fani Willis as she was being dismissed. Ridiculous!! An ignorant fishing expedition.

more than ignorant–dishonest attempt to spread misinformation–which backfired in spectacular fashion–and reminded everyone that Schmitt is a dirtbag.

The voters of Missouri should be embarrassed that Sen. Schmitt is “representing” them.

That fool is repping my state. He’s getting a nasty phone call. 😜

Good. He should get a lot of negative phone calls from constituents about this. Missouri should vote Eric Schmitt out as soon as they can. What a shameless and embarrassing display. The GOP doesn’t bring their best, that’s for sure.

Eric Schmitt is thicker than a plank

Idiot!!! Schmitt is an imbecile
