The state is using Chiefs HQ as a carrot for munis to give their tax $s too. States should always discourage, not encourage, horizontal local gov competition as it’s wasteful.

Remarkable: Rep Chrissy Houlahan, one of the Dems that Trump called for executing, tells me her office literally filled out a Capitol Police threat report that listed "the president" as the person making the threat.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

Absolutely crucial that everyone turn up this weekend. We need to show that we will not be deterred and show everyone else that there are a lot of us.
Meanwhile, millions of people nationwide are expected to protest Trump on Saturday.
Pro-democracy groups like @indivisible.org are planning a NO KINGS Nationwide Day of Defiance. Organizers expect protests in more than 1,500 cities in all 50 states (!).

HUGE turnout in Ballwin, MO! The initial count was 1486 people and another 600+ people showed up after the count. I am in awe that over 2000 people joined together in the cold rain to stand up for our country. We were very close to Wagner’s office.😉
