The advocate’s own release, read in raw HTML 2026-09-14. It is the primary for Empower Missouri’s statements and nothing more: its claims are its own. The Woody quotation used in the alert is taken from here. KCUR’s printing of the same sentence drops the comma before “or paperwork”; this release is the text of record.

Not used, and named: the release’s counts of Missourians and children who lost food assistance “under HR1.” Those describe a different federal action.
