A Republican state senator on the Senate Appropriations Committee slashed $500,000 from the AG's budget request, citing lawsuits against school districts as the reason.

Schmitt hurt our schools financially. He should be fired!

Jack L

How could anyone NOT trust a face like that? xD

Max

The school board members that chose to break the law, hurt your schools financially. Eric upheld the law. The school board members should be held responsible, for any and all losses.

Jack L

Eric Schmitt needs to keep his nose out of school board decisions. He`s only doing this so he can advance himself politically. Leave the schools alone

Adam

Amen Jack

Max

School boards don't write the laws, but they do have to obey them..

Adam

This piece of crap has/had nothing better to do than sue schools for protecting our children. Just because HE thinks it's wrong, doesn't mean he can bully schools into doing it how he thinks it should be done

Max

I am glad that Eric and I are a Christians, and don't think about the sickness that you adore.

Adam

And I sure as hell hope I'm never like he is.

Adam

Take a second to breathe and pry your mouth off Eric's junk already. Good lord

Max

Thirty minutes of research, and you would find out just how wonderful of a person Eric Schmitt is, and how many good things he has done for Missouri and our Nation. You could never even follow Eric through even one days work. You and Jackle are nothing compared to Eric, and never will be.

Adam

Same place you get your common sense. Oh right you and the rest of the right wing whack jobs don't have that

Max

Oh, it's little Adam, the legal advisor. Where did you get your law degree? Cheerios, Wheaties, or Captain Crunch?

Many Missourians were opposed to school mask mandates when they were in place.

He made a ruling that some didn't like regarding schools and masks. He also made some happy with the same rule. This is another example of people trying to punish and silence others, who don't follow their way of thinking. So very childish.

Max

The liberals at Columbia Public Schools had issues with obeying the law.

Max

Eric Schmitt could become Missouri's next US Senator. There are many fine GOP people in this race. If Eric wins, he will have my full support. He has done an outstanding job, as Missouri's Atty. General. I don't have any respect for the RINO that wants to slash his budget. LGB

Lisa Gore

This News Outlet even asking this question is playing politics and not standing up for the Constitution. How about asking: Do you Support the Consititution? Or Do You Think Schmitt Upheld the US Consitution? Let’s see that question instead.

Should have filed more.

Hopefully, but not overly confident. Unlike Missouri, Auburn has played three top 20 teams, and although they lost, they fought hard. Auburn is no pushover, plus it will be in their barn.

Coaching staff adjustments and player talent.

Max

I would give MU the edge. It won't be easy. No matter what happens, the Tigers will win.

This is the actual correct answer.

Steve Baumann

I'd like to see how many of the democratic votes came from bots

Steve Baumann

Democrats are insisting on concessions related to health care policy (specifically extending Affordable Care Act health insurance subsidies) to reopen the government. Republicans argue for a "clean" funding bill without these policy changes.

Max

It's beautiful. Trump is getting rid of the fake workers Biden hired, and AOC will Primary Schumer. Winner winner, chicken dinner.

Max

As every 8th grade Civics student knows, it takes 60 votes to end the Schumer Shutdown. Since we only have 53 Republicans, we must have a handful of Senate Democrats

Max

"No one is so blind as one who will not see" means that a person who is unwilling to accept the truth is more difficult to convince than someone who is physically blind.

Max

Trump is ending wars, getting hostages released, after nearly 2 years, while Schumer is holding the US taxpayers hostage, for free medical care for illegal aliens, while our own citizens have to pay for medical care.

Wendy glassburn

The democrats want to add to the budget. It’s a CR, you don’t add to it. You open the government and then negotiate the budget.

Toasty

Wish I could vote for both. This shutdown is a game both sides are playing. I want to roll up a newspaper and smack 'em both.

Republicans could easily say yes to extending subsidies for Americans and no to the other provisions. If Dems say “no” then it’s on them. Not much compromising is going on.

Steve Baumann

Hand up not hand out.

Scott Kramer

I don't believe that the ACA causes a significant amount of money to go to healthcare for illegal immigrants
