American shows up in a disco suit and his own homemade Flock safety camera that he made in his garage to the Lee’s Summit, Missouri City Council meeting
He’s exposing how the city spent $909,000 on only 54 Flock cameras the cameras remain property of Flock. Even if the contract runs its course and they cancel, Flock will keep the cameras despite paying nearly a million dollars for them
It’s true I looked into the flock contracts and they maintain all rights and ownership over the cameras, once installed the city can’t even move the location of the cameras or remove them
- Flock hardware “is owned and shall remain the exclusive property of Flock.”
- “Title to any Flock Hardware shall not pass to [the city].”
A The city may not remove, move or take possession of the units
- At the end of the term, Flock removes the cameras
The city is leasing the cameras and using the software…. This sounds like one of the biggest ripoffs to taxpayers in history
That’s $16,833 per camera over the 5 year contract

I look forward to the glowing statements from @AGCHanaway and @DLHoskins praising the judicial restraint of #SCOTUS today, which has twice now backed a unanimous Missouri Supreme Court.

Missouri Republicans are calling to impeach Supreme Court justices because they’re considering a motion to hold Secretary Hoskins in contempt.
Local election officials I’ve never met are sending kind words of encouragement and thanks for my reporting.
Who’s intimidating whom?
Everything you are seeing on the Left, from @MarkMaxwellTV to @chuckhatfield is an attempt to intimidate county clerks and keep them from following the law. Thankfully we have an SOS in @DLHoskins who will not back down the tyranny of SCOMO or Leftist “journalists” and lawyers.

The Missouri Supreme Court ordered Republican Secretary of State Denny Hoskins to explain why he should not be held in contempt for directing election officials to use a congressional map the court barred him from implementing. #JCMO #MidMo newstribune.com/news/2026/se…

@stlcsb Request for doorways to be boarded up at 1901-03 Marcus. Bldg caught fire over weekend & there are 7 doorways accessible on the ground/first floor (3 openings at rear & 4 in front). Concerns of future fires due to squatting issues at this address. Thank you!

@stlcsb hey there! VERY dangerous situation in front of 1720 Mississippi with the elementary school right next door. Please fix or help the owner fix? This hole is 3+ feet deep.

St. Louis County prosecutors are investigating one of their own cases: a 107 mph ticket cut to a $50 parking fine.
The driver was a county councilman's daughter. He helps fund that office. The office says it was "not handled properly."
He also chairs the ethics committee.

#BREAKING: Legendary #Maddow: “Headline: ‘Donald Trump can’t open the Strait of Hormuz, so instead he’s blocking the Strait of Detroit.’ It’s a headline from The Globe and Mail, the Canadian newspaper. The big beautiful new bridge that Trump is not allowing us to use, is a bridge that crosses the Detroit River. It goes from…Detroit…to…Ontario. Canada fully financed and paid for this bridge. It is ready to be opened, it will be the biggest U.S. border crossing in Canada, it will be one of the most important routes for trade in the entire world, the single most important one with one of our two most important trading partners, Canada, but Trump won’t let anybody use it, even though it’s ready, ready to be driven on.” 🤦♀️

#BREAKING: Legendary #Maddow: “It was supposed to open Friday, it is not open because Trump says he does not want it open. When this bridge does open some day, if Trump ever lets it open, you should know that there is a competing bridge a little way down the river, a privately-owned very old very congested toll bridge that will likely LOSE some of its traffic…because of competition. It will lose some of its traffic to this pretty, brand new bridge that has just been built. The family that operates the competing old bridge, earlier this year, made a $1 million donation to Donald Trump’s super pac. In short order, a member of that family then got an in person meeting with Trump’s Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick. The White House and the pac say that was just a coincidence…but after the million dollar donation, he gets this meeting, and then the SAME day of the meeting, Howard Lutnick calls President Donald Trump and then Trump suddenly discovers new supposedly trade-related reasons why he’s now suddenly against this bridge, even though previously he has been for it.” 🤦♀️

Since the @WhiteHouse and @POTUS is mad about this, please don’t retweet or share

One year after the tornado. Zero in HUD disaster recovery funds.
Now Cori Bush is attacking Wesley Bell for not knowing how to get it as Bell unveils new legislation this morning.
The federal recovery fight has become a Democratic primary fight.

INCREDIBLE!
Washington Post journalist Hannah Natanson who had Trump’s FBI raid her home and take her phones and laptops, just won the Pulitzer Prize with the Washington Post.
Congrats!!

Part 2: Senator Moon inquires of a lobbyist!
Here’s why Missourians are done with “just trust us.”
In this late-night clip, Senators openly acknowledge that at least some members had not seen the substitute language until they returned and found it on their desks. Senator Hough says it was “the first time I’ve seen the substitute when I walked in here, and I had it on my desk,” and Senator Moon notes they’re “taking others’ word for it.”
This is not a minor bill. They describe it as a “pretty substantial change” in how taxes are collected.
Citizens should not be asked to accept major changes after late-night negotiations with limited time to read, understand, or debate what changed.
That’s why we are pushing for:
Public video for floor and committee proceedings
A real public archive so citizens can verify what happened later (not just live audio that disappears)
If you haven’t seen Post 1, it shows how empty the chamber was when the bill was called.

We've now learned that Katie Johnson not only sued Donald Trump for raping her at 14 and gave sworn testimony under the penalty of perjury, but that she was interviewed by the FBI not once but FOUR TIMES and her story was found to be credible.
Donald Trump raped children.
BREAKING:
The DOJ deleted this Epstein file showing that they provided Ghislaine Maxwell with notes from 3 FBI interviews of a woman who claimed Trump sexually assaulted her at age 15.
Why the hell did they remove this file after releasing it and why aren’t we seeing the actual notes that this file says exists?
