KSDK has invited both Rep. Ann Wagner and Democratic challenger Fred Wellman to join live in studio during the weekend morning shows this weekend to respond to the map ruling and to discuss the race. Polls show it’s going to be a tight one.

Fred Wellman responds to SCOTUS map ruling: "Republicans can't defend their record on rising costs, attacks on our freedoms, or corruption, so they tried to cheat because they were afraid to compete." "Now Republicans have to compete..."

Gov. Kehoe: Voters deserved...not for the rules to be changed between elections. SCOTUS: [Hoskins] was well aware that conducting the August primary election with the 2025 map carried significant risks. [Hoskins] nonetheless chose to proceed with the 2025 map for the primary.

It is disappointing that today’s decision by the United States Supreme Court means Missouri will conduct its November general election under a different congressional map than its primary election. Voters deserved consistency and certainty, and not for the rules to be changed between elections. Nevertheless, Missouri will follow the Court’s order.

Supreme Court for the third time rejects Republican redistricting push in Missouri

A Republican effort to use a new congressional map that would eliminate one of the two Democratic-held districts in the state has again failed in court.

The clock outside City Hall is 14 minutes slow. The one tracking $100 million in pandemic money inside is three months slow. ksdk.com/article/news/local/…

St. Louis has 97 days to spend $100 million in pandemic aid. City Hall says the real number is...

The city's ARPA portal is a June 30 snapshot. The comptroller, the mayor and the budget chairman all say it's stale. SLDC says $11 million.

BREAKING: SCOTUS keeps the Missouri 2022 congressional map in effect for this election in an order that criticizes the Eighth Circuit's actions in the case. The five page, per curiam — unsigned order — came with no noted dissents. More to come at Law Dork: lawdork.com/

The final episode of The Sopranos aired in 2007. Even without the first 2 seasons, this is still the worst snub of all time. Top 5 should be: Sopranos Mad Men The Wire Breaking Bad Game of Thrones True Detective, Always Sunny, Eastbound and Down all rated way too low

The public needs your help in identifying the NYT staffer who vetoed The Sopranos because it started in 1999

NEW POLL in MO-2 (Remington) Wagner 43 Wellman 42 Generic D beats generic R, 47-46. Trump underwater in St. Louis County (-16) AND St. Charles County (-8). 65% don't know Fred Wellman yet. This one comes down to three words: St. Charles, St. Charles, St. Charles.

Remington pollsters asked likely general election voters in MO-2 to use their own words to describe what comes to mind when they think about Ann Wagner.

Here's the breakdown from last cycle. Ann narrowly won the largest county, cleaned up in St. Chuck. Her biggest bucket of votes came in Franklin. This cycle, assuming old map lines endure, Wellman would need to flip St. Louis County & win it by 10 to have a shot.

Last week, Ald. Sharon Tyus brought her lawyers as special guests & a shot across the bow, warning colleagues not to censure her or she’ll sue. This week, Ald. Rasheen Aldridge brings SEIU workers. He shouts out “burger flippers,” a callback to Tyus’ insult.

The chief Justice of the Missouri Supreme Court, asked the lawyers gathered at The Missouri Bar’s annual conference to stand and repeat their oaths. Then he gave a full-throated defense of the independent judiciary. Link to my column in comments.

No president has ever gone into a midterm election as unpopular as Trump is today. Not even George W. Bush in 2006. Trump's net approval is twice as low as it was at this point in 2018. blog.fiftyplusone.news/p/no-…

"Together we will defeat communism, socialism, and Marxism in America. America will never be a communist country." President Trump is front and center in this new ad airing nationally. The ad's disclaimer reads, "Paid for by the U.S. Government."
