From the Riverfront Times, comes this story about important issues facing Missourians:
Missouri Republicans Have Found Their Post-Roe Enemy: Cardigans
Missouri has a lot of problems, but if you were in the statehouse today, you would have thought the biggest one was what female legislators wear.
Peter Merideth (D-St. Louis) shared the news on Twitter, "Debating the house rules on the floor today, and the first amendment offered by a Republican is about making stricter the rules of what women have to wear in here."

Ultimately the amendment was allowed to stay in, and women lawmakers were allowed to cover their arms with cardigans. As the Post-Dispatch pointed out, women hold less than a third of the seats in the Missouri House, surely this debate is not helping encourage women to run for office.
Would love to share @PeterforMO and others tweets, as some are quite witty, but alas, they keep getting removed. The article is quite well written and highlights our slow decline towards second-class citizenry status.
I guess guys bearing arms is great, but women baring arms is not. Oh well, the giant asteroid can’t get here soon enough…
