The thing about Kansans—we are resilient.

Time to go help some more people.

The museum alone is worth the trip to Atchison.

The Sunflower Summer program starts today. If you want to visit KS sites with your child, the app has museums, parks, etc. You get discounted entry, & every place you check in, that site gets a fee from the program. It’s a great way to #travelkansas and help fund historic sites.

[Governor Laura Kelly @GovLauraKelly]

The Sunflower Summer program is back with more than 230 tourism attractions for Kansas families to visit for free. From museums and historic sites to zoos and art galleries, there’s something to explore in every corner of our state. More information: https://t.co/IGQXQF6ovZ

@KCStar This was an excellent exhibit. I’m glad to learn that it still lives on in another medium.

[Carl Folsom, III @CarlFolsom]

@KSArchaeologist Thank you for teaching me something new about Kansas history!

I did not realize that Barber County was named for Lawrence pioneer Thomas Barber. If you’re ever near the KU campus (near the Lied/Dole Centers), you can visit his grave in the Pioneer Cemetery.

[KansasArchaeologist @KSArchaeologist]

Barber County: Formed in 1867, named after Thomas Barber, a free-stater who died in the “Wakarusa War” during the Bleeding Kansas period. The County Seat is Medicine Lodge.

Barton County: Formed in 1867, named after American Red Cross founder and Civil War battlefield nurse Clara Barton. The County Seat is Great Bend.

Bourbon County: Formed in 1855, named after Bourbon County, KY where many pro-slavery settlers in the area were from. The County Seat is Fort Scott.

@AintNoSeatsPod One of the best performances I’ve witnessed in person. Bourbon Street was fun that night.

[Carl Folsom, III @CarlFolsom]

@dd0031 I’m pretty sure this means you and the family have to move back to Kansas. I don’t make the rules.

@3YearLetterman FYI Liberal, KS beat Olney, England in the annual International Pancake Day Race today.

Last year, my daughter and I waited in line for beignets on Fat Tuesday for over an hour. We left empty handed and hungry. And she was late for school.

This year, I heard her wake up before sunrise. We were first in line. And the early girl got the beignet. #lifelessons

@CamM27889671 My rule is that there should be no court storming on any court named after a Jayhawk.

[Carl Folsom, III @CarlFolsom]

No court storming at Phog Allen. We expect to win.

The clear winner of the first half: Patrick Mahomes.

Y'all wanted someone other than the Chiefs in the Super Bowl. You reap what you sow.

[Carl Folsom, III @CarlFolsom]

@Swanee54 @TheRealHos305 @drewbutera @SalvadorPerez15 I knew I liked Mike Tomlin!

@AlecStapp @ASFleischman It’s sad that the use of the em dash—the Swiss Army knife of punctuation—is now suggestive of using AI.

[Carl Folsom, III @CarlFolsom]

@klseaboldt When I’m traveling, I tell people I’m from “Kansas.” And I still get comments about the Chiefs. It happened internationally even before Mahomes. But now it’s almost every time.

[Carl Folsom, III @CarlFolsom]

Timeline cleanse.

Charlie Hicks ate his lunch and dinner at the Shrimp Basket in Pensacola, Florida, every day for 10 years. When he suddenly stopped showing up, the chef went looking for him – ultimately saving his life. @SteveHartmanCBS is On the Road.

[Carl Folsom, III @CarlFolsom]

@Whitney_Hartman From this KU fan—there is one way to get him to leave without waiving the sign around. Win the dang game.

[Carl Folsom, III @CarlFolsom]

@tmbg Kansas City?

[Carl Folsom, III @CarlFolsom]

@Judge_Leben @alittleleader The attorneys I talked to over the years who received these appointments worked really hard for the clients. And they usually had a better appreciation for the work I did as a public defender. But I agree with the article—the unique KCMO legal community is what makes this work.

[Carl Folsom, III @CarlFolsom]

@TriciaWhitaker Mucho respeto. Gracias por tu buen trabajo. Lo disfruté.
