[Louis Capozzi @CitizenCapozzi]

Very proud of the SG team for successfully defending the constitutionality of the St Louis Police Board. St Louis needs, and @AGCHanaway will always fight for, law and order!

[Attorney General Catherine L. Hanaway @AGCHanaway]

Another win for public safety.

Today, a judge ruled that HB 495 complies with the Constitution. We will continue vigorously defending the St. Louis Police Board in court and fighting for the safety of Missouri communities.

I am proud of our team who continue to secure results for Missourians.

[Louis Capozzi @CitizenCapozzi]

Pleased to deliver a win for Missouri prisons at the 8th Circuit, which reversed an adverse ruling. The opinion gives broad protection to public officials. It’s not easy keeping prisons safe and secure; that’s why the law gives guards breathing room.

@JaneDueker was also a leader in achieving this win.

American Shaman to stop selling kratom and 7-OH in MIssouri https://t.co/SLC3YwWeuJ

[Louis Capozzi @CitizenCapozzi]

I’d like to give particular credit to Assistant Solicitor General Alex Buttram, who put in the grunt work on this investigation and lawsuit. He did really great work on this!

[Louis Capozzi @CitizenCapozzi]

Promise made, promise kept. The defendant in the case—the largest distributor of kratom and 7-OH in the State—just agreed to stop selling or marketing all these products in Missouri. Now we’ll make sure the smaller players do the same. @AGCHanaway delivers again.

[Louis Capozzi @CitizenCapozzi]

Proud to be fighting to get 7-OH, which the FDA already found to be a dangerous opioid, off our streets on behalf of @AGCHanaway. We won’t stop until the fight is won.

[Louis Capozzi @CitizenCapozzi]

@GregoryMGoodwin Thank you! It’s a pleasure working with you on this and other matters that help keep Missourians safe.

[Louis Capozzi @CitizenCapozzi]

When @AGCHanaway says she’ll get something done, she does it.

[Attorney General Catherine L. Hanaway @AGCHanaway]

JUST IN: American Shaman, Missouri’s largest kratom distributor, is suspending all in-state sales effective immediately.

Any retailer who uses free samples and misleading marketing to hook consumers, especially those struggling with addiction, will face swift enforcement.

Missouri Democrats are 0-197 in lawsuits this cycle. Wholly-owned subsidiaries of @AGCHanaway and Team. #moag

[Louis Capozzi @CitizenCapozzi]

Pleased to report another win in court. Missourians will get to vote in August on whether to eliminate the state income tax. I’ll be voting yes!

[Attorney General Catherine L. Hanaway @AGCHanaway]

BREAKING: A judge has rejected a liberal activist lawsuit seeking to block Missourians’ right to vote on eliminating the state income tax.

Missourians will have their say this August.

[Louis Capozzi @CitizenCapozzi]

We’ll never stop fighting on election integrity. @AGCHanaway deserves a lot of credit for leading nationally on this issue.

[Attorney General Catherine L. Hanaway @AGCHanaway]

BREAKING: A DC judge has denied the Democratic Party’s ridiculous request to stop President Trump’s executive order on election integrity.

Proud to lead this win against left-wing lawfare seeking to undermine our ability to engage with the federal government to secure our elections.

[Louis Capozzi @CitizenCapozzi]

@chriswithans They didn’t. Judge Nichols’s standing analysis is strong. A breath of fresh air in a time when some federal judges are breezing past standing analysis.

[Louis Capozzi @CitizenCapozzi]

This is true. Though parts of the standing analysis suggest the plaintiffs will struggle to challenge at least some parts of the executive order even once it is finalized. Judge Nichols has yet to rule on a pending motion to dismiss…

[Kyle Cheney @kyledcheney]

JUST IN: Judge Nichols has rejected Democrats request for a preliminary injunction to block Trump's executive order on mail-in voting and citizenship lists.

He says it's not ripe yet because no concrete action has occurred to implement it. https://t.co/0VfpaxGEy2

[Louis Capozzi @CitizenCapozzi]

Another win. Missouri intervened as a defendant because we don’t think the federal government should be preemptively barred from considering reforms to strengthen the security of mail voting. States can benefit from such reforms. Looking forward to continuing to defend this EO.

[Reuters Legal @ReutersLegal]

A U.S. judge declined to block President Donald Trump's executive order tightening rules on mail-in voting in a loss for the Democratic Party, whose lawyers argued that it could disenfranchise millions of voters. https://t.co/LE3S83ZmFl

[Governor Mike Kehoe @GovMikeKehoe]

Appreciate the work of @AGCHanaway and her team in securing another victory for Missourians and the Missouri First Map.

[Louis Capozzi @CitizenCapozzi]

Another week, another win for the Missouri SG team at the Missouri Supreme Court defending the Missouri First Map.

[Attorney General Catherine L. Hanaway @AGCHanaway]

Another win for the people of Missouri and the Missouri FIRST map. Another loss for left-wing lawfare and the @NAACP.

The Supreme Court unanimously ruled, almost immediately, that @GovMikeKehoe acted within his constitutional authority when he convened the special session which passed the Missouri FIRST Map.

I’m proud of our talented team who continue to win for Missourians.

[Louis Capozzi @CitizenCapozzi]

The rule of law is worth fighting for.

[Attorney General Catherine L. Hanaway @AGCHanaway]

We are proud of our Missouri Solicitor General @CitizenCapozzi for testifying in the U.S. House of Representatives this week against attempts to pack the U.S. Supreme Court and undermine judicial independence.

[Louis Capozzi @CitizenCapozzi]

That’s exactly what I think.

[RNLA ⚖️ @TheRepLawyer]

@repdarrellissa @RepHankJohnson @JudiciaryGOP @Jim_Jordan @RepRaskin @CitizenCapozzi 12/ @CitizenCapozzi: "Disagreeing with the Supreme Court’s decisions is no excuse to threaten judicial independence—a cornerstone of our Republic that took centuries to build. "

[Louis Capozzi @CitizenCapozzi]

Looking forward to testifying against packing the Supreme Court tomorrow in the House of Representatives. Judicial independence is worth defending. Thanks @JudiciaryGOP for the invite!

[Louis Capozzi @CitizenCapozzi]

Eric scooped me. Two landmark election law wins in favor of the Missouri First Map from the Missouri Supreme Court. Very proud of my team; the advocate at the podium never does it alone!

[Eric W. @EWess92]

Twin wins for @AGCHanaway & @CitizenCapozzi defending Missouri's new fair maps. First, plaintiffs argued that the new maps should not go into effect due to a pending referendum. Second argued the map is unconstitutional. Both challenges fail. Important wins for election integrity

[Louis Capozzi @CitizenCapozzi]

Credit is also due to the intervenors’ lawyers: John Gore, Marc Ellinger, @stephaniesbell, and Nathaniel Sutton. Congrats to all of you!

[Eric Schmitt @Eric_Schmitt]

Big win.

The Missouri First Map keeps racking up court wins.

The Missouri Supreme Court upheld the plain meaning of the Missouri Constitution and refused to let a referendum petition automatically suspend the state’s duly enacted congressional map.
