Palacios delves into the various boards she has served on over the past 15 years, including the Missouri Chapter of the National Women's Political Caucus and her experiences as one of the few Latina members among these boards at the time. Burnett, Williams and Palacios discuss happenings within the Missouri State Capitol in Jefferson city including a special session request for the legislature from Gov. Mike Kehoe. Within the special session call, three items are proposed for approval including Kansas City Stadium subsidies at Truman Sports Complex, relief aid for Missourians impacted by the storms and capital projects from Missouri House of Representatives Bill 19. These bills are discussed in length as well as a lawsuit, which the Missouri Chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) has filed against Missouri Attorney General, Andrew Bailey and the University of Missouri. *This podcast was recorded on Wednesday, May 28. Since its recording, this Special Session — which Burnett, Palacios and Williams discuss in this episode — ended on Wednesday, June 11. The Missouri House of Representatives approved $1.5 billion in funding for Kansas City sports stadiums as well as $125 million to aid areas of St. Louis, which faced severe weather damages, according to an article by the Missouri Independent. All three of these bills were previously approved in the Missouri Senate and made their way to the Governor's desk, which he signed into law on Saturday, June 14.*Music used within this Women Speak episode is a song called “I Wish I Knew You Then” by Kansas City local artist Honeybee and the group's lead female vocalist, Makayla Scott. “I Wish I Knew You Then” is a recent single, which Honeybee released in March 2025.  Honeybee's latest single “Lindenlure,” was released on May 30 and is now available on its streaming platforms. 2025 singles “I Wish I Knew You Then,” “Charmed Life” and “Lindenlure” as well as additional Honeybee tracks are available on Spotify, Apple Music, Youtube, TIDAL and Youtube Music. *Disclaimer* I Wish I Knew You Then and any previous or future Honeybee songs used by The Northeast News within the Women Speak podcasts are courtesy of and approved by Makayla Scott and Honeybee under proper copyright law.

6-16-2025: Wake Up Missouri with Randy Tobler, Stephanie Bell, John Marsh, and Producer Drake

A summary of the news this week in Northfield, Minnesota. Also a summary of all the action that happened at the Minnesota State Legislature during the Special Session held on Monday to pass the state budget. 

During the just-concluded special session, a bipartisan contingent of Missouri lawmakers were able to get the stadium package across the finish line while also aiding victims of the May 16 tornado. State Sen. Steven Roberts, D-St. Louis, and House Speaker Jon Patterson, R-Lee's Summit, discuss the legislative action. STLPR statehouse and politics reporter Sarah Kellogg also joins the discussion.

Minnesota lawmakers are breathing a bit easier now that they've finally adopted a new budget — roughly $66 billion over the next two years. The Legislature met earlier this week for a special session to get the work done. There were protests, long debates, stories of immigration, but lawmakers managed to pass 15 bills in less than one day. On this special podcast edition of Politics Friday, MPR politics editor Brian Bakst and reporter Ellie Roth take us through the action.Use the audio player above to listen to the full conversation. Politics Friday won't be coming to you every Friday this summer but will appear here and there in this podcast feed as events warrant.  Rest assured, we'll be back to a more-regular cadence this fall.  Subscribe to the Politics Friday podcast on: Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or RSS.

The news of Texas covered today includes:Our Lone Star story of the day: There is a push from the Trump camp for Texas to consider mid-decade redistricting to aid in picking up more Republican seats in Congress. The rumor that such might be considered has been around for a while but now there has been a meeting of Texas Republican members of Congress to discuss such. At present there is not much enthusiasm for such and it comes with big risks. At present, under current conditions, I don't expect much to come of it but, if Governor Abbott were to get aboard, he'd be the one to set it in motion with a Special Session call which would need to be in July, or the very earliest days of August fit time constraints.The New York Times broke the story: White House Pushes Texas to Redistrict, Hoping to Blunt Democratic Gains Our Lone Star story of the day is sponsored by Allied Compliance Services providing the best service in DOT, business and personal drug and alcohol testing since 1995.City of Abilene officials looking to make home ownership that much more out of reach with another property tax increase. Has anyone actually run the numbers to demonstrate a total net savings, over principal and interest costs, from the proposed “energy improvements?” Most often these things do not produce a net savings.So much of the reporting on arrests by ICE is cleverly misleading propaganda. This Houston Chronicle story is an example: ICE agents arrest 3 people at southwest Houston immigration court. I explain why it is misleading to most as well as why the objections are silly.Listen on the radio, or station stream, at 5pm Central.

Hour 2 – The Drive reacted to the latest wave of updates coming out of Jeff City about the special session in Missouri about stadium funding.

If legislative leaders and Governor Tim Walz had their way, all 201 lawmakers would be headed back to the Capitol for a special session as soon as Wednesday. The governor has not yet made that report-for-duty call, and the legislature hasn't polished up the budget enough to stage bills for up-or-down votes. Officials are making early preparations for a possible partial government shutdown, but that worst-case scenario is still weeks away. Peter Cox joined Minnesota Now from the Capitol to talk about what's ready and what's still holding things up.
