As an Eagle Scout, I'm appalled by Scouting America (formerly Boy Scouts) for cowering to Trump and Hegseth and agreeing to end DEI.
The organization had finally taken long overdue steps to become more welcoming. Now they're regressing ass-backward - for a bigot.
Embarrassing.
Trump announces a war in the Middle East in the middle of the night on a Friday wearing a baseball hat. I never thought I would miss the days 20 years ago when Bush presidency spent months in public hearings giving bullshit reasons for a war in the Middle East.
Senate Appropriations Chairman Rusty Black released the following statement on the Governor’s proposed cuts to disability services and his intention to work with colleagues to restore funding as the Senate builds its budget. #moleg
A proposed $80.7-million reduction to Missouri's developmental disability services under Gov. Mike Kehoe's budget could cut day program rates by 33 percent, putting organizations like Day Solutions at risk of shutting down. Access the News Tribune to read the full story. #JCMO#m
Hey @tonymess why have all of the major newspapers across Missouri written stories and opinions on the massive and disastrous budget cuts to developmental disability services proposed by the Kehoe administration and so far not a word from @stltoday?
And yet not a word about any of this from the largest newspaper in Missouri. As a longtime Post-Dispatch subscriber I would love to see a story about the numerous Missouri families fighting against these proposed budget cuts.
Or even better an editorial from your department about the devastation to the families of adults with disabilities that these proposed cuts would cause. It is time to end the silence from @stltoday before it is too late! Thank you!
Last year, the governor signed special tax giveaways for the ultra wealthy. This blew a hole in the budget. To fill that hole, he now wants to take money from people with disabilities. Outrageous.
