(6:05am) MORNING NEWS DUMP

Legalized baby killing has returned to Missouri as at least one preborn child was killed at Planned Parenthood in Kansas City over the weekend after a judge struck down the state's licensing requirements for abortion clinics. 

A winter storm has its sights set on the St. Louis area. Look for snow to move into the area late Monday night/early Tuesday morning. Expect 5"-9" of dry snow before it ends on Wednesday. Areas to the south may get 7"-12" of snow. Lighter totals are expected to the north. Also expect bitterly cold temperatures as a Polar Vortex accompanies the snow. Possible overnight lows below zero on Wed. and Thu. 

Sen. Tim Kaine comments on DOGE and tax cuts.

Rep. Tim Burchette comments on DOGE.

President Trump plans to impose reciprocal tariffs.

Speaker Mike Johnson comments on a possible government shutdown.

Rep. Byron Donalds comments on federal spending.

The cold weather combined with the short daylight hours can lead to what's called "seasonal affective disorder." It makes the winter months tougher to get through emotionally. It's not the same as depression or a mental illness.
