In less than 60 hours you went from snuggling in our bed, to losing our beloved baby, to joining him on the other side. You didn’t deserve this. But you fought like a champ. Thank you for everything my love. I’ll miss you more than you know and I can’t wait to see you again.
Would love to see the ven diagram of people who believe Brittney Griner shouldn’t have committed the crime if she couldn’t do the Russian time, and those who believe it’s ridiculous that Trump was even tried for this trial, let alone be found guilty of THIRTY FOUR counts.
Polls show that, somehow, most voters don’t know or have forgotten most of this, so here it is all in one place, as presented by @sethmeyers in tonight’s Closer Look: An overview of Donald Trump, the GOP nominee for president.
(And this is only a small fraction.)
Bill Clinton banned assault weapons in 1994; mass shootings dropped by 43%.
George W. Bush and the GOP let the assault weapons ban expire in 2004; mass shootings increased by 245%.
These numbers tell the whole story.
Missouri Governor Mike Parson, last seen running from gunfire at the Chief's celebration in Kansas City, signed into law last August a provision that would nullify federal gun laws in the state.
Just got SO close to witnessing what I like to call a “Midwest Collision”. 2 cars headed opposite directions almost hit each other at 2 mph bc they were both turning left at a stoplight, & they ope’d so much trying to let the other go 1st that they nearly inched into each other.
If you’re out at KC Pridefest this weekend be sure to stop by the youth tent to take a picture in the Photo Booth, play some games, or grab free snacks and swag. We’ll also have resources and support for those experiencing homelessness and housing instability.
I’m not embarrassed about texting myself links from my computer to my phone. There are probably easier ways to save that info, but whatever. It works.
I AM embarrassed, however, at the rate at which I look to see who is texting me when the link comes through 7 seconds later.
This is gross. But while we are on the subject of life altering decisions, now would be a good time to do something about the #1 cause of death in children in MO (guns) or like, maybe not forcing a child to carry an unwanted pregnancy to term? That feels pretty life altering, no?
Just got miffed at some young whippersnappers for driving their loud muscle cars too quickly through The Plaza. Earlier, I heard a girl tell her group of teenage friends that had her dad been with them, they’d have HAD to go in a store I was coming out of bc he loves it.
Me:
Congrats to the Kansas City Chiefs on their Super Bowl win and to MVP @PatrickMahomes on leading the team to victory. Through injury and obstacles, you showed grit and true resilience.
Looking forward to having you at the White House.
Just hopped in my Lyft wearing the @MizzouHoops warmups pullover my parents got me fro Christmas as an 8th grader (still fits baby) only to find my driver is wearing a kU beanie.
It has been a quiet ride.
