If you don’t want St. Louis’s crime discussed, then stop electing city officials whose hearts bleed for every criminal’s circumstances.
Crime is crime. It doesn’t matter who commits it or what circumstances led them to do so.
And stop accepting unskilled migrants who lacked those skills in their home countries, only to act surprised when they arrive here and commit violent crimes. Apparently, that is the one skill they brought with them.
Fun fact: The real incentive is that these asylum and relocation programs create lucrative, taxpayer-funded jobs for liberal do-gooders who have built careers around keeping them running.
@realjakejacks@DanielInBranson Kehoe delivers WINS for this state.
I have no interest in pirouetting around the drain and missing opportunities for positive change because of the hyper-contrarian ethos you so inelegantly display.
Americans deserve to know that the drivers sharing the road with their families are legally authorized to be here and fully qualified to operate heavy commercial equipment safely. In Missouri, we have strict protocols in place to ensure proper verification and highway safety.
Today, I sent a letter to @GovPritzker calling on him to immediately review and overhaul Illinois’s commercial licensing procedures to ensure thorough vetting that weeds out criminal illegal aliens.
When a state fails to vet applicants before handing over the keys to a commercial tractor-trailer, the consequences do not stop at the state line.
Missouri has three cities ranked among the top 12 of 313 qualifying U.S. cities for violent crime per capita, according to FBI data.
5th — Kansas City
10th — St. Louis
12th — Springfield
What’s in common? Democrat control.
@Beganovic2026 Missouri has three cities ranked in the top 12 of 313 qualifying U.S. cities for violent crime per capita.
St. Louis ranking 10th is hardly an accomplishment. The federal grant is sorely needed.
Refusing $68 million in federal police funding in a city like St. Louis, which ranks second in the nation in per-capita murder rates, because of selective hysteria over surveillance is an act of SELF-HARM.
These same people don’t seem particularly concerned that their phones listen to them for personalized advertising or that their personal information is bought and sold by hundreds of data brokers online.
Selective outrage.
The grant was entered into on behalf of StL city by one member of the state controlled board. It will fund surveillance equipment and an AI system linked to the federal government with no rules governing how the data will be used, accessed or retained. https://t.co/4zGEzYIXau
@Beganovic2026 Unfortunately, being the “safest it’s been in 70 years” does not mean St. Louis is sufficiently safe.
Homicide and violent crime rates remain exceptionally high compared to comparable cities.
Progress is worth noting, but improvement is not the same as acceptable public safety.
Senator Schroer, can we make comprehensive data privacy legislation a priority in Missouri? We need protections similar to the Texas Data Privacy and Security Act (TDPSA), including enforceable rights for citizens to access, correct, and request deletion of their personal information held by businesses and online data brokers.
These companies collect, publish, and sell home addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, property records, relatives’ names, employment history, and even estimated income.
This is a privacy concern and a matter of personal safety. Missourians should not have to pay third-party services to protect their own information.
This is common-sense consumer protection. Can we get legislation introduced? @NickBSchroer
@IsaiahAscher It’s actually something everyone can agree on.
The only people who stand to be upset are a few lobbyists. But hell, Texas seems to be doing just fine with those protections in place.
That’s the same form of reasoning you used to oppose A3.
‘Everything is a conspiracy’.
If this funding prevents even one senseless killing in the city of St. Louis, it will have been money well spent.
This all-or-nothing approach you take to every issue stymies progress on virtually every cause you claim to stand for.
MISSOURI, THIS IS WHAT WE WARNED YOU ABOUT.
We warned that Amendment 6 would make sweeping changes to Missouri’s Constitution and laws harder to reverse. Now, just days after its passage, 10 new initiative petitions targeting the 2028 election have been submitted to the Secretary of State.
And what’s being proposed should concern every Missourian.
Here’s a breakdown of what these proposals would do:
🚩001 – Redefining Marriage & Gender Rights: Removes Missouri’s constitutional definition of marriage as between a man and a woman, establishes constitutional protections for gender identity and sexual orientation, and allows minors to seek trans surgery, therapy, or counseling with parental or guardian consent.
🚩002 – Proxy Voting in the Legislature: Allows citizens to assign their legislative votes to individual lawmakers, giving some legislators potentially thousands of votes while others have far fewer. This would fundamentally change how representation works in the General Assembly.
🚩003 – Overhauling Missouri’s Legislature: Repeals multiple constitutional provisions, eliminates legislative primaries, introduces statewide elections for legislators, and radically restructures how representation works in Missouri.
🚩004 – Electronic Initiative Petition Signatures: Allows initiative petitions to be signed electronically rather than requiring traditional paper signatures, raising serious questions about verification, security, and FRAUD.
🚩005 – Stripping the Governor’s Authority: Takes away the Governor’s independent power to issue pardons, commutations, and reprieves, and replaces the line-item veto with recommendations subject to legislative approval.
🚩006 – Ranked-Choice Voting: Introduces ranked-choice voting in Missouri elections with more than two candidates for a single office, replacing our traditional voting system with multiple rounds of vote counting and candidate elimination.
🚩007 – Eliminating Primary Elections: Abolishes primaries for congressional and state legislative races and moves to statewide elections using party lists, stripping voters of their traditional ability to choose their party’s nominees.
🚩008 – Government-Run Healthcare: Creates a state-administered healthcare cooperative funded through income-based membership payments, dramatically expanding government’s involvement in healthcare.
🚩009 – New Taxes for Green Energy: Imposes a new tax on long-term capital gains and qualified dividends to fund a government-administered renewable energy program.
🚩010 – Government-Built Housing: Establishes a state-run housing program financed through government bonds, offering homes at cost with no down payment and no interest over 30–40 years.
Make no mistake: These aren’t minor policy adjustments. These proposals would fundamentally reshape Missouri’s government, elections, and economy.
We warned about the consequences of Amendment 6, and now we’re seeing exactly why those warnings mattered.
Missouri’s Constitution is not a playground for radical political experiments. The fight to protect our state and our representative form of government is far from over. 🇺🇸
Pair this with harsher criminal penalties and mandatory deportation for violent offenders who are in the country illegally or here under temporary or asylum-based immigration status.
You’d be amazed at how many individuals fitting these categories are sitting in our jails right now.
