The expansion of #Medicaid work requirements makes it more important than ever to get rid of outdated barriers that actively block people who want to work from getting a job.

The Office of Government Efficiency is off to a great start with split leadership: two people to do the work of one person.

Yeah, this seems REALLY efficient.

AP CALL: Amendment 3 passes. This overturns Missouri’s near total ban on abortion.

This is big for: Missouri was the first state in the country to enact an abortion ban after the fall of Roe in 2022. Two years later, voters have overturned it
