Republicans in Missouri are working to gerrymander Representative Cleaver out of his district at Trump’s direction. It’s an illegal power grab under state law, part of a nationwide effort to silence voters instead of fixing their unpopular policies.

More than 50 wagyu beef farms in Missouri are listed with the American Wagyu Association. Because Japan stopped exporting genetically pure wagyu cattle in 1997, most American farmers crossbreed the cattle with Angus beef cows.
