Good morning, Missouri.Today, our Attorney General is in federal court arguing that we should eliminate health care coverage for Americans who have preexisting conditions.
Let’s get a new Attorney General.

We are building the Wall now, but the reason the badly needed Wall wasn’t approved in the Republican controlled House and Senate was that we had a very slim majority in the Senate, & needed 9 Democrat votes. They were totally unwilling to give Wall votes to us, want Open Borders!

Is there anything more peak 2019 politics than @HawleyMO going on anti-Nike and anti-Big Tech rants and then posting a picture of his kid on @Twitter wearing @Nike shoes?
11:38 AM – 5 Jul 2019
Some of the responses:
Not until next week, when he goes all in on Steak-n-Shake for some offense with a mouth full of skinny fries and a (vanilla) milkshake mustache.
@HawleyMO is a fool, and a tool of dark money.
@HawleyMO is still here? He’s been on the job for 6 months. Isn’t it time for him to start looking for a new job?
Something, something, ladder.
Yep, and the tough-talking Arizona governor was photographed wearing Nikes yesterday. Their favorite shoe is Nike Hypocrisy.
It is because is fake outrage. Just something to give the base something to be mad about. Without outrage the base doesn’t pay attention.
Our Junior Senator has nothing to say.
He is the epitome of hypocrisy.
Typical Hawley!
Now this is funny.

This afternoon’s pearl clutching from Josh Hawley(r):
Josh Hawley @HawleyMO
Nike should apologize to Americans for denigrating the flag. They should apologize to Missourians who lost loved ones defending the flag. And they should restart production of the Betsy Ross shoe at their facility in St Charles, MO
12:42 PM – 2 Jul 2019
What a self righteous schmuck.
Some of the responses:
Start with your potus first.
#FakeOutrage
Literally zero Missourians died to defend the Betsy Ross 13-star flag. True historical fact.
Wish you would care more about the kids that are being treated cruelly at the border than what flag Nike decides to put on its products.
One question, how many Missourians died defending the Betsy Ross flag?
You should tell us who the dark money donors were who bought you that Senate seat
Heh.
Zero Missourians died defending a flag with thirteen stars, as it was the 24th state.
Which Missourians died defending that flag?
Which one of those 13 stars represents Missouri?
Lotta Missourians died defending that flag did they?
Should your focus really be on shoes? Your concerned about shoe design, but cool with kids in cages? Asking for a friend… and myself…and a bunch of other people. Ashamed to have you representing the state I love.
I remember in April when GOP m members of Congress reached out to big pharma companies and told them not to cooperate with a Democratic investigation on price gouging.
Odd, the things they publicly ‘clutch their pearls’ about.
Are you going to go after the huge displays of American Flag adorned clothing at Target, Kohls, Walmart etc that violate US Flag Code too? Or just the Nikes?
Fun fact: Missourians never defended a 13 star flag.
Which Missourians died defending the 13-star flag?
“I pledge allegiance to these sneakers…”
it’s a shoe, bro
Poor Miserians. Died for a flag that wasn’t even theirs.
You think Donald Trump (r) offered to let Josh play with one of the tanks on Thursday?

A year ago:
I really do care. Do U?
“Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!” cries she
With silent lips. “Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”
Late yesterday, via Twitter:
Elie Mystal @ElieNYC
Had a conversation with my mom after she saw @chrislhayes basically pleading with that goddamn Republican to end the suffering of children at the hands of this administration.
People with voice and opportunity are saying the things. These @realDonaldTrump people just don’t care.
10:05 PM – 24 Jun 2019
Elie Mystal @ElieNYC
I don’t think people who aren’t *in it* everyday appreciate just how evil the Republican Party has become under @realDonaldTrump. There’s a stubborn and gleeful aspect to their cruelty now. They’re so far into it, they have to like it now.
10:07 PM – 24 Jun 2019
Elie Mystal @ElieNYC
I have no clue how to stop them. But I know pretending that these people have any shred of decency left is not the way. These people… you just don’t “come back” from terrorizing children. Once you realize you’re the kind of person who can defend that, you are gone.
10:10 PM – 24 Jun 2019
Elie Mystal @ElieNYC
All I can promise is that, when the wheel turns, I won’t forget what they’ve done. Many will. Many will try to go back to “normal” with these people. I will not. Not forgetting, and not letting them forget what they’ve done, will be the very least I can do.
10:12 PM – 24 Jun 2019
We can remember what they do. We should remember what they have done. We should remind them every chance we get until the end of time. And the monuments put in place to extol their great works should include the legend “cruelly supported and enabled separating families seeking asylum and placing their children in cages.”
Oh, and the Emma Lazarus sonnet, The New Colossus, should be permanently erased from the Statue of Liberty.

From Missouri’s junior right wingnut sycophant in the U.S. Senate:

.@realDonaldTrump slapped new sanctions on Iran today. Showing toughness and strategic judgment, which is more than you can say for his DC critics. Keep up the pressure but on our terms. POTUS also right that other countries need to step up & help protect the Strait

This morning in Jefferson City several hundred individuals showed up at the capitol building (in rainy weather) to protest the radical anti-choice policies and legislation of the republican controlled Missouri General Assembly and Governor Mike Parson (r) and his administration. The rally portion was scheduled to start at 9:00 a.m. on the south lawn, but rainy weather moved that portion of the event indoors under the dome.
“We aren’t ovary-acting”
Individuals with their signs started showing up under the dome after going through security shortly after 8:30 a.m.
“I am not your incubator”
The rally and subsequent march to the Governor’s Mansion was initiated by one grassroots individual via social media. The idea snowballed and a permit to demonstrate on the capitol grounds was secured.
“Queen of my own uterus, thank you very much”
The rally under the dome allowed time for individuals to gather, chant, and speak out before the short march to the Governor’s Mansion.
“Keep your rosaries off my ovaries”
“My body, my choice”
“My uterus has more regulations than your gun”
“If you cut off my reproductive choices can I cut off yours?”
“We will not go back”
“Keep your bans off my body”
Speaking.
“Never again”
“If I wanted government in my womb I’d fuck a senator”
“Choice is freedom”
“She had a heartbeat, too”
Handmaid.
