    2. Bill from Klobuchar and Grassley - Heartland in the house, or the senate

  2. Yeah…NO (6-7 min) AG Eric Schmitt has sued (45 still good?) schools in MIssouri including 0 charter schools - over mask mandates

    1. https://www.kansascity.com/news/local/education/article257710628.html

    2. Becomes pretty transparent the point of it all when you pick on only some schools

    3. Talk about the $$ districts have to spend, Crystal’s proposed bill for the state to cover the costs

    4. If passed, MO taxpayers are literally paying for both sides with nothing to show for it.

    5. Calls for sanctions on Schmitt https://www.newsweek.com/missouri-ag-facing-sanction-call-after-suing-45-school-districts-over-mask-mandates-1672951


  1. Buy or Sell (6-8 min) The Open Missouri Senate Race will be Hartzler v. Kunce

    1. Sen. Joni Ernst of Iowa endorsed MO Rep. Vicky Hartzler

    2. Sifton did his Missouri tour of all the Counties - the output was less than expected

    3. Koch’s Americans for Prosperity is going hard for this junior Congresswoman. Clear that the Koch’s want an issue that isn’t pro-life or pro-Trump to attract swing voters during the midterms?

    4. She’s very smart, here’s the quote to end all quotes: ““It’s American, it’s uniting,” Mace says. “There are three things that really bring people together—animals, Britney Spears and cannabis. Those are the three things I've found that have struck a chord with the American people and that can bring people together at the dinner table—just like apple pie.” From a purple swing district in SC.

    5. Rachel: If I were Scott Sifton or any of the Dem Sen candidates, I’d endorse this bill right now and blow it up all over my social. Go to SC and talk to her about it. This is Missouri, etc.
