Donald Trump is an election-denier and a conspiracy theorist, and he should stop endorsing messages calling for Governor Kemp and Secretary Raffensperger's arrest. Period. Enough.

Fingers crossed for the Streisand effect.
For those of us warning about democracy's potential disintegration, the decision by CBS to pull an exhaustively researched 60 Minutes piece, critical of Trump, is another red alert moment.
When truth disappears as the media gets coopted by the regime, there's little left.

Missouri is already projected to lose $500 million this year by cutting the capital gains tax. We are set to another lose 2/3rds of our state revenue by cutting the income tax.
I honestly don’t know what will become of the state, but I think it’s going to be very bad.
Republicans can’t govern.
