@AGCHanaway “Because the secretary’s certification process under chapter 116 is ongoing…, it is impossible to say as of this opinion … whether HB 1 went into effect on Dec 11 or whether HB 1 was referred to the
people as of December 9 and can only go into effect when approved by [voters].”

[Chuck Hatfield @chuckhatfield]

Interesting territory here. The law is pretty clear that the SOS doesn’t decide what the law is, only the courts can. The court yesterday said it can’t determine the law until the SOS makes a certification decision. So local authorities are kinda on their own out there.

@Cheri_Angel1 @ActforMissouri @MuchoGonads If you mean that Missouri’s current (1945) constitution includes protection for a set of individual rights (Article I) that draws from and largely (but not completely) parallels the Bill of Rights amendments to the US Constitution, you’re right.

[Jim Layton @JimLaytonMO]

@Cheri_Angel1 @ActforMissouri @MuchoGonads Actually, no. Missouri constitutions (we’re on #4) were based on prior state constitutions, whose history precedes the US constitution. State and the US constitutions are quite different in many ways—including their provisions as to legislative procedure.

They dropped to a lower tier plan, but the ‘26 premium is still 2x what they paid in ‘25.

[Jim Layton @JimLaytonMO]

Today I asked a family member (she & husband are self-employed entrepreneurs) about their ‘26 health insurance premium on the ACA marketplace. The premium for their plan tripled from ‘25.

[Mike Levin @MikeLevin]

Mike Johnson sold Republican health care cuts as a crackdown on undocumented immigrants.

It was a lie from day one.

Undocumented immigrants were never eligible for Medicaid or ACA subsidies.
Here’s what’s actually happening:

Premiums have more than doubled on average, ACA enrollment is down 1.5 million, and the Urban Institute projects 4.8 million Americans will lose coverage in 2026.

Democrats warned about every bit of this.

Johnson did it anyway.

Still waiting for @AGCHanaway. Take a look at the number of MO media markets affected by this!

Our Savior Jesus Christ taught us how to relate to one another. The great commandments in the law, He taught, were to love—God and neighbor. (Matthew 22:37-39)

@stlpolitics Would a school that adopted a policy addressing antisemitism but not similar behavior regarding other religions be violating the Missouri or US constitution?

[Jim Layton @JimLaytonMO]

@AGCHanaway Endorsing federal involvement in Missouri elections? That’s quite the departure from Mo SoS Jay Ashcroft who pulled Missouri out of even a joint state effort to promote voter registration integrity.

"In the first major case in which the Court granted emergency relief as a means of shaping nationwide policy, it turns out that the justice who led the charge was the one who was doing quite a bit more than calling balls and strikes."

“‘It is incumbent on us to make the tough decisions that every single family has to make every single day,’ Brattin said.”

I don’t know of a single family that is looking for a way to decrease its income.

[Jason Hancock @J_Hancock]

The first-year cost of a House-passed proposal to eliminate the Missouri income tax ballooned to $4.2 billion under revisions made in the state Senate that were called “drafting errors” Monday during a committee debate. #moleg #mogov https://t.co/NMepmYLUHW
