Fact Check: Josh Hawley is a demagogue and a gaslighter. Half of Missouri's state budget is funded by the U.S. government; $23.7 billion. In addition 83% of Missouri's supplemental budget comes from the federal government. Missouri is a net taker from the federal government, not a net giver. Josh needs to sit down.

California Democrats are trying to entrench their power by making it harder for voters to block their laws. @WSJ This tactic is used in red states (e.g., MO and TX) as well. Whenever you have one party dominance, you get these tactics. wsj.com/articles/california-…

Republicans are always talking about the deficit. Well, guess what? The last guy increased the debt with tax cuts for big corporations. Not a penny of it was paid for.
This year, we've reduced the deficit by more than $1 trillion.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
While that number is factually correct, it’s lacking some context. Most of the drop is because of the recovery from COVID, and the government spending during that time coming to an end. There’s no indication that any policies have specifically targeted the deficit.

Every Republican in Congress voted against lowering prescription drug costs, health care costs, tackling the climate crisis, lowering energy costs, creating good-paying jobs, and a fairer tax system.
Every single American needs to return the favor and vote them out of office.
About all that Republican outrage ... (St. Louis Post-Dispatch), Sep 02, 2022
