Wishing all the moms out there a wonderful Mother’s Day!
To @MichelleObama, I’m grateful for all the ways you’ve shown up for our daughters and our family over the years. We love you.
By the end of this summer, the venerable Allen Fieldhouse will be the site of a new upscale bar and restaurant that will be open pretty much every day of the week, and available to anyone who wants to buy a membership to the “social club.”

From last night:
Sen. @ChrisVanHollen: "We see the same President who attacked the Pope putting images of himself online as if he's Christ. This is a deranged man. This is a man that should have no connection to being commander in chief."
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has come out in support of Pope Leo after the pontiff was slammed by President Trump who called him 'terrible' https://t.co/HcsrGJw6rq
President Trump was accused of "blasphemy" by evangelical Christians after he posted an AI-generated image of himself as a Christ-like figure, which has now been removed. https://t.co/HmoDvY41vR
New York Archbishop Ronald Hicks says President Trump "crossed a line" by posting an image of himself as a Christ-like figure and said the pope should not back down in the wake of the unprecedented criticism. @AielloTV reports. https://t.co/Y2Q0CIU6x5
Under the War Powers Act of 1973, presidents must terminate military operations after 60 days unless Congress has voted to declare war or passed legislation to authorize the use of force. https://t.co/Pr0jqZaRvS
The victory of the opposition in Hungary yesterday, like the Polish election in 2023, is a victory for democracy, not just in Europe but around the world. Most of all, it’s a testament to the resilience and determination of the Hungarian people – and a reminder to all of us to keep striving for fairness, equality and the rule of law.
Kansas City's FIFA Fan Festival™ lineup will bring together local and national artists, and we can’t wait to share it with you ❤️

Tonight, Union Station shines in blue, white and gold for the next generation of Royals baseball and its historic return to the heart of our community.
The restoration and reopening of Union Station 25 years ago, made possible by the shared commitment of citizens on both sides of the state line, marked a turning point for our city. Since then, our downtown has been reimagined and revitalized, earning recognition across the nation and beyond. We are vital and vibrant and ready for the next big step... downtown baseball. This is a truly generational opportunity rooted in both history and hope.
Long before today, baseball teams and ballparks (some now remembered only in name) laid the foundation for baseball in our historic core. Included are the Unions at Athletic Park in 1884. The Kansas City Cowboys at League Park in 1886. The Royal Giants at Shelley Park in 1910. The Packers at Gordon & Koppel Field beginning in 1913. The Kansas City Blues at Association Park in the early 1920s, before moving in 1923, along with the Monarchs, to what would eventually be called Municipal Stadium. In 1955, the Athletics started playing in a nearly entirely rebuilt Municipal Stadium, followed by the Royals in 1969, before their move to Royals Stadium in 1973.
So, we look ahead with clarity and optimism and are listening carefully for the details of downtown baseball to be shared. And while that process plays out, we’re excited about the opportunity to bring baseball’s legends, legacy, and love back to the place where it all began.
It’s time to welcome downtown baseball home once again, for all of Kansas City.
