Missouri Republicans cut funding for Dolly Parton's free book program—affecting 167,000 preschool children.
Program mailed a free book to kids under 5 years—every month.
She gave away over 4.3 million books the past 2 years—just in Missouri.
Governor Mike Kehoe said, "Simply put the days of... ‘so-called surpluses’ are over."
"I think we’re making great strides to that with the $600 million in cuts."
It had been the first state to fully fund the Imagination Library program statewide—when it launched in November 2023 under the previous Governor.
Now the program will stop enrolling new kids almost immediately—kids already enrolled will receive books "as funding allows."

Off duty police pulls over Hispanic woman driving—while wearing his "Trump 45" shirt.
Cut the woman off in traffic with his gun drawn—then pulled her out of car and handcuffed her.
He never identified himself.
Cop is so MAGA—his truck has personalized license plate "Prez 45."
18-year-old Breanna Pantoja said she felt like she was being profiled—and was not involved in any accident like the cop accused her.
"At first I thought I was getting robbed or something cause I didn't know it was a police officer or anything. All I saw was a gun pointed at me."
The officer has been identified as Lt. Dan Miller—who was previously involved in an on-duty shooting of a Hispanic man in 2017.
That shooting left the unarmed man dead—and led to a lawsuit filed by the Gomez family that was settled for $599,000.

This man is a restaurant owner and he says that Door Dash is a completely different restaurant within a restaurant.
Prices are higher when you order from them because Door Dash can take up to 30% from the business. So when you think you are helping that business by ordering from them through Door Dash, sometimes you aren’t.
He also says that Door dash sometimes lets the food you ordered sit for for 20,30, even up to 45 minutes before they pick it up. So when you get it and it’s cold and call to complain, it was made on time but they were late.
As he says, I know it’s a convenience but I don’t like paying and extra fee. And herring this from him, I don’t think I will ever use it.
Why don’t these restaurants just cancel their contract with Door Dash? Do you use Door Dash? Will what he said change your mind about using them? What’s been your experience with them?
So the assistant Press Secretary Riley Podleski has a very interesting background and it makes you question how she got her job.I mean she did go to Liberty University which we all know has a 99% acceptance rate so I doubt it was that.
@MAGACult2 These men are all grown bullies and should be prosecuted for assault, theft, and possibly kidnapping for holding the kid against his will at times.
