Missouri is one of only 13 states with a sales tax on food and groceries. It’s time to take Missouri off that tax list and give families a tax cut on their grocery list. My legislation HB 1992 eliminates the sales tax on food. #moleg

This is Tristan. He didn’t wear a mask to school, and in response, @DrClintFreeman Superintendent Clint Freeman (636) 479-5200 cfreeman@dunklin.k12.mo.us) called the cops on him for trespassing, and he was promptly hauled away in the back of a police car.

In what was clearly an attempt to humiliate Tristan, and intimidate other students, Freeman made sure Tristan got a perp walk” so all students could learn the consequences of not wearing a mask.
Tristan is holding a protest tomorrow at 11:15 am at 497 Joachim Ave, Herculaneum 2/

In my view, kids should not have to fight this battle alone and I will be standing with him by contacting his superintendent @DrClintFreeman and tell him to stop wasting tax payer dollars and misusing law enforcement resources to enforce illegal mask mandates. 3/

Test scores are falling in Herculaneum and school officials ought to be focused on keeping kids in school and improving their education, not sending law enforcement to haul them away when they don’t wear a mask they should not be forced to wear in the first place. 4/4

Another kick in the face for the shrinking middle class families who saved to put their kids through school and worked second jobs to pay off student loans.
I said I wouldn't back down from using every tool at our disposal to get student loan borrowers the relief they need.
That's why today we're announcing new plans that, if implemented, would cancel student debt for millions more.

It shouldn’t be controversial to point out everyone has a say in how public $ is spent. Does a parent have the “absolute right” to spend *public* $ to teach their religion or bypass standards for math? You have the right to choose any ed you want, but not with everyone else’s $.
