Really wish Steve wild have pushed back more on the KS legislators during the @kcur.org Up To Date episode. No way you spend an additional $3B with no “new taxes” and don’t have to cut services. The net increases in sales taxes won’t cut it.

4.4 million veterans live in rural America, many of whom are older and rely on Medicaid. With Republicans slashing funding, struggling rural hospitals face even greater challenges, putting veterans' lives at risk. #TrumpsHealthCareShutdown

The MO GOP has had majorities in BOTH houses in the state legislature since 2003. (Not a typo)

That's 22 years.

263 months.

1,147 weeks.

8,031 days.

And the MO GOP has had a TRIFECTA for 12 of those years.

They've had the time. They've had the power.

Question is: what have they done with it?

Here’s a montage of Trump repeatedly promising to “end inflation” and specifically lower the cost of groceries.

Today, however, Trump told Time magazine that he likely won’t be able to lower prices, saying: “It’s hard to bring things down once they’re up”
