The appeal came right after Gov. Mike Kehoe signed a bill that gives the attorney general the right to appeal temporary pauses against state laws or constitutional provisions.

U.S. District Judge Matt Schelp is giving attorneys representing St. Louis until Wednesday to show why they didn't violate a rule against filing a lawsuit for an improper purpose in their case over state control of the city's police department.

Kehoe issued an executive order to activate the Missouri State Emergency Operations Plan and enable state agencies to coordinate directly with local jurisdictions to provide assistance.

If the Missouri House passes the bill as is, the legislation then goes to Gov. Mike Kehoe’s desk.

Missouri Republicans are gearing up for an unusual 2026 election cycle in which state legislative and countywide contests and ballot items could take precedence over statewide races.

Any state agency, or division thereof, is prohibited by the order from “activities that solely or primarily support diversity, equity and inclusion.”

MSU President Dr. Biff Williams said in a letter, “for us to continue providing a quality education to our students, we must align with the expectations established by state leadership.”

The new governor took questions from editors and publishers from around the state in his first unscripted session with journalists since taking office.

Among his first actions in office, new Missouri Gov. Mike Kehoe is expected to issue a variety of orders targeting crime. The tone-setting move on Monday reflects a trend in the U.S.

For the first time since 2018, Missouri lawmakers will work with a new governor. While outgoing Gov. Mike Parson pushed a more budget-focused agenda, Gov.-elect Mike Kehoe already has established policy goals.
