Data centers have already paid Ameren Missouri $28M. If they come, everyone’s bills could rise
Ameren Missouri is courting AI data centers by building new power plants and offering them lower bulk electric rates, but their unprecedented energy demands could drive up everyone’s electricity bills...

Gas stations are vectors for crime, pollution, blight, car crashes and car dependency.

St. Louis also has another #WeekWithoutDriving opportunity on Sunday. During the Gravois Walk Audit, trash and overgrown landscaping were mentioned on every single feedback form. We’re going to make Gravois a better and cleaner place to walk or wait for a bus. Join us! bit.ly/GravoisCleanup

My annual report-
My bus still sucks with 1 hr frequency and the route still ruined.
The Metrolink gates suck and are demeaning.
This atrocious bus stop, among many, endures 7 years after the construction that moved it finished.
Homicidal drivers still run rampant.

I wanted to see the progress myself around the NGA. Cass is being repaved just around the NGA for its ribbon cutting. The sidewalks across the street are missing at best. A public road is closed because it goes past McKee’s failed “hospital” and its 4 security vehicles, and nature has taken over.

Option C but do it in St. Louis for I-44 near the Gateway Arch. Thanks, Mayor Q.
What’s your preferred Hwy 71 option presented:
➡️ Conversion into traditional freeway with aligned trail network;
➡️ Enhanced parkway with slower speeds;
➡️ Tearing out the highway and return to the traditional street grid
Thoughts welcome here & at KCMO.gov

MAGA #moleg working to undo Missouri's 118 year old initiative petition process.
But this would not affect constitutional amendments or statutory changes sent to the ballot by the legislature.
That means last year's Amendment 3 would have needed to pass in 8/8 congressional districts. The measure that #moleg put on the 2026 ballot would only need a simple majority.

All of this outrageous crap is orchestrated to keep the outrage up and make us crazy, divided and paralyzed, distracting from the issues and scandals.

A Confederate memorial removed from Arlington National Cemetery in 2023 will be reinstalled, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said.
This comes a day after the announcement that a different Confederate statue would return to D.C.
