They don’t care what the majority of voters think. This is disgraceful.

"Rural Missouri said no,” said GOP Rep. Sara Walsh. Making the quiet part loud: R voters r the 'real Americans" whose opinions deserve to drive policy even if a minority. Urban/diverse are more like an alien force trying to 'cancel' real US. Same impulse behind suppression bills https://t.co/Tn0I5h4rZC

This is an absurd violation of the constitution and Missouri voters’ will. https://t.co/M1br5j4lvJ

Missouri House Budget Committee just voted not to fund Medicaid in Missouri. Voters chose to amend the Mo constitution to protect Medicaid from exactly this. Withholding Mo Medicaid funding is unconstitutional. The Missouri GOP doesn’t make laws, they make lawsuits.

With a member or two absent, every single Republican member of the Missouri House Budget Committee just chose to ignore our state Constitution (and Missouri voters) and vote against funding Medicaid expansion. Rejecting billions in state dollars and denying healthcare to 200,000.

Pretty sure Kansas City and St. Louis are still part of Missouri. https://t.co/CzBmoEOXKm

The big Republican argument against Medicaid Expansion is that able-bodied Missourians for some reason are less deserving of health care.

Lots of uninsured but employed folks in Missouri would finally have access to health care with Medicaid Expansion.

the ticking time bomb of american politics, imo, is the fact that the electoral college offers a pretty clear path to overturning a presidential election https://t.co/Y06AGcyUpm
