If you've been on social media this week, you've probably seen them: an ad promising Amendment 5 will "cut property taxes," and a meme claiming a judge "debunked" concerns about the Hancock Amendment.
Both are misleading. Both have been addressed by Missouri courts already. And both follow the same playbook — promise the benefits, hide the price.
We broke it all down, with the actual rulings, the amendment's own text, and a field guide for spotting this kind of messaging on any issue, from any side.

@RareCamellia If I am unserious, what word describes the kind of person who believes a new rule is going to solve the problem of people taking advantage of the rules? An ammendment is NOT the way to fix this.
@laralogan@Grizzledgreybrd How does the hospital have this authority? As a parent, isn’t it my right to take the child and leave? Or is this because of her condition - and Texas Children’s is refusing to keep her hooked up until she can be transferred to another hospital’s ambulance in their parking lot?
Tucker & Jimmy Dore want us to believe rich people s/b in charge of us (instead of government or corporations). Um… no. No group of elites can adequately represent. We need a republic w/officials who are actually held accountable to the citizens https://t.co/V9xmlwspM1
@MurielBlaivePhD There is a middle ground & that’s where we need to be. It was too far one way & then swung too far the other way. We must guard & protect our inalienable rights - not our world views & personal preferences. Other people’s choices should not impinge on MY health and wellbeing.
Did you know there is such a thing as the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues?
Lots and lots and lots of stuff about protecting the rights, culture, health, society and history of indigenous peoples almost everywhere.
Oddly, the ongoing persecution and cultural destruction of the indigenous peoples of the United Kingdom is something they have never explored.
@sfpengu1n@BreannaMorello That’s how I feel! But this generation is going to have kids who they will raise to think this is OK. No way around it. We gotta go through it - and let people experience real consequences. It’s sickening to watch, though..
@JustJenRX@RedGhostLover We were just there a few weeks ago. It was lovely! I felt safe at all times and literally did not see as much as 1 wrapper or other litter on the ground.
@SecKennedy For heavens sake - how about you stop Bill Gates and all the other wack jobs who are genetically engineering this?! Then we wouldn’t need a cure.
Dear @POTUS,
You said you won't approve anything from the Senate if they don't pass the SAVE America Act even if it takes 6 months or more.
Just curious if you're going to stand by your word.
Secondly, personally, I'd like you to veto the Ukraine funding. No more funding to Ukraine.
The Senate wants to play ball, why not play ball.
@JDVance Hang on… we did NOT support our LEOs. They were persecuted, hated, fired, sued and imprisoned of they DIDN’T give preferential treatment to some groups and automatically assume guilt for others. We did this. We allowed it. Maybe it wasn’t our idea, but we did not defend truth
@RealJamesWoods This is the result of not prosecuting anyone for the 2020 Election theft.
and Not Passing the Save America Act!
Mail-in ballots and no ID is how you rig Elections!
