I am on the scene of an officer involved shooting near the intersection of Fantasia Drive and Fencer Road. Multiple roadways are blocked by crime tape as investigators patrol the scene. @csgazette

The entire parking lot of Walmart along East Platte is lined with crime scene tape as investigators remain on the scene of an officer involved shooting early Wednesday morning.

I love how succinct this is.

And accurate.

900 pages that would hand Donald Trump unprecedented power to:

Ban abortion nationwide.
Rip away affordable health care.
Cancel student loan relief.
And much more.

We will defeat his dangerous Project 2025 agenda at the ballot box in November.

BREAKING: In a horribly embarrassing moment for Donald Trump, he forgets what state he is in. Trump suggests he is in North Carolina while he is in Pennsylvania. Retweet to make sure all Americans see this and know Donald Trump is senile.

[Democratic Wins Media @DemocraticWins]

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, attendees of the Trump rally (however few that were there to begin with) have begun to trickle out while Donald Trump is speaking. Retweet so all Americans see this and know even Republicans are fed up with Trump’s BS.

🎉CONGRATULATIONS CHIEF!🎉

Well, folks, he's done it again. Our very own Fire Chief Randy Royal has been named the Career 2024 Fire Chief of the Year, this time on an international level!!

The International Association of Fire Chiefs made the announcement this morning. Since 1996, the prestigious International Fire Chief of the Year award has recognized one volunteer and one career fire chief for their leadership, innovation, professional development, integrity, public service, and contributions to the fire service on an international level. There are more than 22,000 fire chiefs across the country.

We could not be more proud of Chief Royal. He is the true definition of what it means to be a good leader and he is well deserving of this honor. Chief- we love you and we are beyond lucky to have you!!
