An announcement: we are expanding our news coverage at @kcranews

[Jonathan Richie @JRichieTX]

UPDATE: New World Screwworm is no longer contained to Texas.

USDA says that the infested dog announced earlier today lives in Lea County, New Mexico and will be reclassified as the first detection in that state.

And now a goat in Gillespie County, TX, has also been confirmed.

[Mike Cherry @MikeCherryKCRA]

Wow

[Jordan Schwartz @MayTheSchwartz7]

One way to look at the progression of the CA Gov primary: each day of vote reporting has led to Steyer needing larger and larger margins with the votes that remain.

After Election Night, he needed to beat Hilton by ~9.1% in late votes. That number now approaches 12%.

[Jerry Brown @JerryBrownGov]

When a president lies like this, America is in trouble.

[Peter Burns @PeterBurnsESPN]

10000% non political take here.

This stinks.

Nearly impossible to buy a playoff ticket, so Knicks fans have taken over the Madison Square Garden area and have brought incredible vibes to the city with their watch parties.

President Trump cuts his Meet the Press interview with Kristen Welker short as she asks for evidence that California’s election is rigged.

[Acyn @Acyn]

Welker: Do you think anyone who attacks police officers on January 6th should get taxpayer money?

Trump: I can tell you this, 97% of those people, you look at them, the FBI or whoever it was, you had a lot of crooked cops. They had FBI agents ushering them in. You had a bunch of dirty cops.

Welker: There’s no evidence of that.

Trump: Try looking at the tapes.

Welker: 172 people did plead guilty to assaulting police officers.

Trump: You know why they pled guilty? They were told they were going to jail for 15 years. They pled guilty because they were frightened. They went down and ushered into a building.

Could it all be better? Sure.
Is most of it just pure noise? Absolutely.

2024 Presidential election

California certified 16,140,044 ballots in 38 days.

That’s 424,738 ballots processed each day

Texas certified 11.3m Ballots in 33 days.

That’s 342,424 processed each Day

[David Axelrod @davidaxelrod]

People ask why the CA vote-counting process takes so long.
@Elex_Michaelson of @CNN explains it clearly here.
But the short answer is the state values participation plus thorough scrutiny of ballots over speed.

[S.V. Dáte @svdate]

They MADE us disclaim a Klan leader.

Director of National Intelligence (DNI) is a critically important role for the safety of all Americans

Bill Pulte is a 38 year old broadcast journalism major whose billionaire grandfather helped him launch a private equity firm at age 23

Pulte has exclusively worked in real estate and private equity until now

If I made a list of the 25,000 people most qualified to be the new DNI, Bill Pulte would not be on that list

[philip lewis @Phil_Lewis_]

Bill Pulte has *zero* experience in any intelligence role

[Mark Z. Jacobson @mzjacobson]

Data also show that Texans have paid 28-52% higher annual electricity bills than Californian every year for the last 25 y

So, when someone points to CA's high electricity price, explain that what people pay is price x use, and electricity use/person in CA is the lowest in the US

[Jim Acosta @Acosta]

This is really atrocious.

[Mike Cherry @MikeCherryKCRA]

Champion Talaga!

[Legion Hoops @LegionHoops]

For the first time in NBA history, a Filipino American player will be an NBA champion 🇵🇭🏆

[Headquarters @HQNewsNow]

Project 2025 architect praises Trump for implementing Project 2025:

"We proposed 1,913 recommendations for Project 2025. 1,055 have been implemented."

[Mike Cherry @MikeCherryKCRA]

Can’t wait for the conspiracies this’ll generate

[Legion Hoops @LegionHoops]

There’s now a 71% chance the NBA’s No. 1 pick falls to a 6th place-12th place team. Only a 29% chance it falls to a bottom 5 team, per @ShamsCharania.

Wow, wow, wow.

[Michelle Dapper @KCRAdapper]

Multiple sources confirm the phones have been ringing nonstop since the MLB expansion bid announcement in West Sacramento with investors wanting to visit as soon as next Tuesday. @kcranews

[Sean Cunningham @SeanCunningham]

This rendering released in today’s press conference shows a potential Major League stadium in West Sac as part of “The Sacramento Pitch” efforts for MLB expansion. The group announces $1.8 billion secured in local investment.

[Melanie D'Arrigo @DarrigoMelanie]

Donald Trump Jr takes a financial stake in a company…

3 months later, the Pentagon gives it $620 million…

after Trump’s White House told them to…

And the company’s valuation rose from
$200 million to $2 billion as a result.

This is corruption.
