The St. Charles City Council voted last night to effectively ban data centers, approving zoning changes that block those facilities in the city. The vote came after significant public pushback against a proposal known as Project Cumulus. Under the new rules, any developer looking to build a data center in St. Charles would now face major regulatory hurdles.

One year after the tornado, here's a question nobody in Washington seems to want to answer.

New Orleans got $5.2 billion in federal housing recovery money after Katrina. Houston got $5.7 billion after Harvey. Joplin, Missouri got $110 million after their tornado.

St. Louis got zero.

And here's what makes it harder to explain: Missouri has received this money before. Four times. Congress remembered every one of those storms.

Do you remember the storms that hit Missouri in 2017? In 2019? Or 2022?
Because Congress did. And they sent money every time.

So what's different about St. Louis?

That's what we're checking the record on this week. Watch the full segment and decide for yourself. And if someone in Washington is hoping you just forget about it, will you let them?

A Democrat is running for Congress in a district Missouri Republicans drew specifically to bury him. He says the map gave Ann Wagner maybe two or three extra points. He says the tariffs, the farm losses, and the gas prices give those points right back. Whether he's right is what November is for.
