#Handsoff Iowa City!

I have never seen this large of a crowd at a protest at the Kansas State Capitol Building in Topeka before. The pics don’t do the turnout justice. And this was one of several protests across the state. In KANSAS. #ksleg #antitrumpprotests

[Kansas Senate Democrats @kssenatedems]

Today, Republican politicians’ harmful bill targeting LGBTQ+ Kansans passed in the Senate.

@cindy4kansas stands up for the rights of Kansas youth to access safe, effective, necessary, and often life-saving gender-affirming care. #ksleg

[Robert Mackey @RobertMackey]

Strange, there was a community note on this tweet a while ago, citing my reporting that what @PressSec said @elonmusk told her is not true, but now that note has been removed. I wonder why? Here are the facts again, for those who prefer not to be lied to:

Trying to get ahold of HFAC Chairman @BrianMastFL to make sure he knows about the dire situation Afghans are in over this aid pause.

Can yall make sure he knows?

[Andre Pagliarini @apagliar]

I’m not a political pro, but I believe Democrats could use a more compelling message than “Jesus take the wheel”

If you've never written testimony before (which is easier than it sounds!), this will walk you through the process:

VOUCHER HEARING: Now is your time to speak out against Republican politicians' private school voucher bill.

SB 75 diverts state funding from public schools and the vast majority of Kansas students who attend them. Email testimony to [email protected] #ksleg

You can't erase our history. It's not just Black history it's also American history. My Great-uncle was Captain Albert Whiteside Jr an original Tuskegee Airmen. When I was a child I got to talk to him in person. People should learn about the Tuskegee Airmen.

[Norman Ornstein @NormOrnstein]

The blanket pardons and commutations for the most violent offenders, 600 of whom assaulted police officers, leading to horrific injuries and deaths, is chilling. Even more chilling: no police unions condemning it, no Republicans in Congress who were there on J6 saying anything.

[Roger Sollenberger @SollenbergerRC]

Trump repealed Biden’s executive order codifying ethical commitments for administration employees, such as not taking bribes, lobbying gift ban, etc — or what you might call draining the swamp

@mreynolds0824 And/Or work for the right price, and maybe dont complain when their rights get stepped on a little!

[Colleen @dalgal412]

Soo is this the same Trump or....

[Acyn @Acyn]

Trump: I'm fine with legal immigration. I like it. We need people, and I'm absolutely fine with it. We need it because we going to have a lot of companies coming in to avoid tariffs.

I hear from quite a few conservative leaders under enormous national voucher lobby pressure to vote against their communities.

My message is:

This political moment will pass. What will be left is what you do for your districts, your states, and for our country.

[Timothy Snyder @TimothyDSnyder]

A president’s executive order cannot undo a law or a Supreme Court decision, let alone a provision of the Constitution. Forget that and you do have a dictatorship on day one.

[Ron Filipkowski @RonFilipkowski]

No congressional spouses were allowed in the Rotunda for the ceremony today. Different rules for the oligarchs.

[Staff Sergeant Gonell, Aquilino @SergeantAqGo]

The law and order dude is about to pardon those who assaulted the police. Collectively more than 40 rioters attacked me that day.

[Anna Bower @AnnaBower]

Before whatever is about to happen happens: There will be a lot of reporting about executive orders. Much of that reporting, at least initially, will regurgitate what the White House *says* the orders do as opposed to what they can *actually* do based on the text and law.
