Kansas Senate Overrides Governor’s Veto on Transgender Sports Ban Bill
The Kansas Senate on Monday voted to override Gov. Laura Kelly’s veto on The Fairness in Women’s Sports Act, a bill that would ban biological male athletes from competing in women’s school sports across the state. Also known as SB 160, the legislation “requires interscholastic, intercollegiate, intramural, or club athletic teams or sports that are sponsored by public educational institutions” to ban male students from joining teams or sports “designated for females.” It does not ban female athletes or girls from participating in men’s or boys’ sports. The bill was introduced by Republicans in February 2021 and vetoed by Kelly on April 15. However, the Senate voted 28–10 on Monday to override the governor’s veto, and it now heads to the House for lawmakers to vote to sustain or override the veto. Republican sponsors of the bill say it is needed to create fairness and protect the integrity of female sports and opportunities for girls to gain college athletic scholarships.

[Listen] Senator Eigel Blows Up On The Senate Floor Over Gov. Parson $47 Billion Budget
"Today fiscal conservatism died on the Missouri Senate floor. We’ve (Republicans) grown government more in the past 6 years than in the previous century. Even the Soviet Politburo would blush. Many Republicans in Jefferson City voted for socialism today.”

Senate Zips Through Budget
All the worrying that the Senate would get bogged down in the budget melted away as they zipped through the thirteen budget bills yesterday. There were only two moments of drama. First, Sen. Rick Brattin offered an amendment to restore $500,000 which Sen. Lincoln Hough had cut from the Attorney General’s office in committee. While there’s a tradition of supporting the Appropriations Chairman and not amending the budget, it was surprising that the amendment only garnered nine Yes votes (Brattin, Burlison, Eigel, Hoskins, Luetkemeyer, Moon, O’Laughlin, Onder, and Wieland).
One observer thought it was slap to Schmitt: Tells you about his standing…if Ashcroft had asked for election integrity money, he would have gotten a blank check. But I’d wager the money gets added back in during conference, Hough’s point having been made. The other moment of suspense was a fiery speech by Sen. Bill Eigel in which he decried the bloated budget. He blasted his Republican colleagues, saying that they campaign as constitutional conservatives and then govern differently. He said the budget was full of excessive spending, citing a “dinosaur museum.” One building veteran wondered if the campaign rhetoric of Eigel’s speech is what the Conservative Caucus wanted from the proceedings, to draw a clear distinction as they look forward towards primaries. And one Senate source fact-checking Eigel’s speech texted me, “there is no dinosaur museum in the budget… Eigel was bitching about something not in the bill.”
Also, interesting to note, Sen. Andrew Koenig, didn’t go along with the Conservative Caucus script.
Almost all of the Conservative Caucus voted against all the budget bills (with the exception of public debt which they all voted for). Sen. Denny Hoskins peeled off on a few. But Koenig voted for nearly every single budget bill and against the Brattin amendment.

Missouri Bill Aims To Ban Outside Groups From Donating To Local Election Officials
Local election authorities would be barred from accepting donations from nonprofits or political organizations under a bill debated by the Missouri Senate on Wednesday. The language was added by Sen. Bob Onder, a Lake St. Louis Republican, to House Bill 1606 during a flurry of amendments added by senators during floor debate. It would restrict county clerks and boards of election commissioners from taking or accepting "funding, grants or gifts of any kind from any source other than from the governing board of a political subdivision, the state of Missouri or the federal government."
Onder called the measure a "hard line in the sand" to prevent influence from outside groups in state elections. He specifically cited a federal grant funded in part by Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg that distributed almost $350 million to local election authorities throughout the U.S. leading up to the 2020 election. "I think we need to be pretty strict about this," Onder said.

Gmail Treatment of GOP Emails ‘Horrifying’
Researchers' findings that the majority of Republican candidates' fundraising emails went to a spam folder in the Gmail accounts owned by Google, while Democrat candidates' emails were delivered, were "horrifying to see," Republican National Committee Chair Ronna McDaniel told Newsmax Wednesday, following a filing to the Federal Election Commission about the issue. "These researchers in North Carolina, nonpartisan researchers, said that with the Republican Party and campaign emails 70% of them, went to spam," McDaniel said on Newsmax's "Wake Up America." "For Democrats, less than 10% went to spam, so we've done some number calculation over since 2019 that would cost Republican candidates in the over $2 billion in donations, not to mention all the get-out-the-vote and other things that are important with these emails."... Earlier this year, North Carolina State University's Department of Computer Science published its study, "A Peek into the Political Biases in Email Spam Filtering Algorithms During US Election 2020," after a study from July 1, 2020, to Nov. 30, 2020, to determine if algorithms for Gmail, Microsoft's Outlook, and Yahoo were biased toward any certain party and determined that Gmail "routed Republican emails to spam at a rate approximately 820% higher than similar Democrat fundraising appeals during the 2020 Election cycle," the RNC said in a press release.
