Every freaking year. The incompetence is astounding.
Officials with the Missouri Department of Transportation admitted their crews didn’t pre-treat roads before a quick burst of snowfall blanketed the St. Louis region and led to numerous crashes and traffic gridlock Monday afternoon.
MoDOT didn’t pre-treat roads before Monday’s snow. Agency says it expected later arrival
The National Weather Service says between 2-4 inches of snow could fall in the St. Louis region Monday.

Thanks @democrats.org for consistently showing us your asses by really focusing on the things your base cares about. #smdh 🤦🏼♀️
US Congress voted 285–98 to condemn "socialism." 88 Democrats joined Republicans, including Hakeem Jeffries.
What they mean by socialism is your access to healthcare, housing, safety regulations, and anything that benefits you instead of the oligarchy. There has been no vote to condemn fascism. #3E

Yes. Hold the line.
The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

This is chilling. The President is asserting authority to kill completely outside of the law. And plans to keep at it.
We are not at war, and he is ignoring the criminal laws that actually apply (eg, murder).
No limiting principle stops him from doing this to others he labels "terrorists."
