A constitutional amendment to protect abortion rights in Missouri and overturn the state’s near-total ban will remain on the November ballot, despite right-wing efforts to remove it.

But on Tuesday, Missouri’s Supreme Court ruled that the amendment shall remain on the ballot. The Missouri Independent has the deets on the rulings.

Right-wing commentators and Xitter enthusiasts are having a difficult time coping after their hero blew the presidential debate against Vice President Kamala Harris on Tuesday night. All the Xitter polls in the world won't help the felon after he repeatedly stumbled and took Harris's bait at every turn.

It is already illegal for non-US citizens to vote, but Trump is claiming that a problem that doesn't exist is the problem, so he can claim that the election will be rigged.
