David Wasinger (2025)
On the latest episode of Politically Speaking, Missouri Lt. Gov. David Wasinger talked about his desire to see the Senate’s rules change, which provoked a backlash among GOP officials earlier this year.
Wasinger said lengthy filibusters often feature long-winded soliloquies that aren’t germane to legislation at hand and result in dysfunction. Wasinger conceded that he doesn’t have the power to compel senators to change their rules.
“I don't have a magic wand where I can just unilaterally say, ‘Here are what the rules are going to be,’” he said. “I just simply threw that out as a topic of discussion.”

Braggin' Rights blowout: No. 20 Illinois tops Missouri 91-48
Freshman guard Keaton Wagler made a career-best five 3-pointers and scored 22 points to lead No. 20 Illinois to a 91-48 rout of Missouri. Andrej Stojakovic returned from a first-half injury to score 17 points, and Tomislav Ivisic added 14 points as the Fighting Illini rolled to the most lopsided victory in the history of the Braggin’ Rights rivalry. Sebastian Mack had 15 points to lead Missouri as coach Dennis Gates left his reserves in for much of the second half with the game out of hand. The largest previous margin of victory in the series, which has been played 45 times since 1980, was Illinois’ 82-50 blowout in 2005, when it was coming off a Final Four run.
