Missouri State

The conservative Supreme Court has surprisingly chosen not to help out their buddy Donald Trump for once. On Monday, the high court declined to postpone Trump’s hush-money trial sentencing, after Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey tried to sue the state of New York to delay the legal proceedings. Bailey also sought to remove Trump’s gag order on claims that it violated the First Amendment rights of voters who could not hear the former president and convicted felon speak.The case was a long-shot effort, but still, it is surprising given the Supreme Court’s decision to grant Trump near total immunity last...

Kevin Roberts styles himself as a modern Prometheus, and thinks he’s here to bring the fire. The president of the Heritage Foundation’s forthcoming book, Dawn’s Early Light: Taking Back Washington to Save America, opens with metaphors about fires, claiming that in 2020 “our country went up in flames” and now it’s time to “fight fire with fire.” Using the massive California forest fires of 2020 as a stark, vivid metaphor, Roberts argues that America’s institutions have become “deadwood in a forest,” and that conservatives “can’t merely continue putting out fires”; they must be “brave enough to go on the offense,...

On Saturday, Donald Trump had revenge on his mind. As he prepared to campaign in Atlanta, the former president attacked several Georgia Republicans who helped thwart his efforts to steal the 2020 election, including the state’s governor, former lieutenant governor, and secretary of state. “We have to purge the Party of people that go against our Candidates, and make it harder for a popular Republican President to beat the Radical Left Lunatics,” he wrote on social media with his characteristic odd capitalization. It was an alarming and familiar post. For nearly a decade now, Trump has railed against his enemies,...

In early July, a dairy farmworker in Colorado tested
positive for H5N1, the current strain of avian flu that’s ripping through
dairy cows. It marked the fourth human case contracted on a dairy farm; a
worker tested positive in Texas in April, and then two others in Michigan.
While the virus has yet to be found spreading among the general public, it’s
clear that the dairy industry’s workforce is very much at risk of infection.
And each time a new person gets sick, it’s a chance for the virus to mutate,
allowing it to potentially spread beyond the agricultural workforce.  Yet there is effectively no federal agency with the...
