We went to a dinner as a group and had a $500 bill. We tipped $40. We were happy we can be able to give our server something, but her reaction was the opposite. She told us she assumed we're going to give her at least $120. When we asked for the manager, she said she was just joking, but she wasn't smiling at all. Idk, but is $40 tip enough for $500 bill? I just feel like expecting $120 is not realistic...
Yesterday I spent a fantastic day in Pittsburg listening to what Kansans are looking for in a leader in Washington. I especially loved learning how folks are pitching in and helping their neighbors. Kansas Values are all about how community is more important than party. As I told the Morning Sun, you can be a champion for people, you can fight for what’s right without demeaning people, without belittling them. Jesus talks about love your neighbor, but he also says love your enemy. Those are the kind of values we need right now in DC.

Last Saturday, LaVon and I had the chance to celebrate one of Kansas’s greatest trailblazers, Amelia Earhart, at her hanger museum in Atchison. It was amazing to see the last remaining model of the plane from her attempt to fly around the world. Our state has such an amazing legacy of women making history. Amelia Earhart’s fearlessness is an inspiration to us all. Together, we as Kansans can leave the world a better place than we found it.
A message to all sane Republicans:
He pardoned 1,600 violent criminals.
You said nothing.
He bulldozed the East Wing.
You said nothing.
He interfered with the release of the Epstein files. You said nothing.
He took over the Kennedy Center and renamed it after himself. You said nothing.
He accepted a $400 million airplane as a personal gift. You said nothing.
He threatened Canada, Cuba, Denmark, Greenland, Venezuela, Colombia, and Brazil. You said nothing.
He tariffed just about everyone but Russia, causing inflation and instability worldwide. You said nothing.
He attacked a nation during mediated negotiations. You said nothing.
His ill-conceived war killed 175 children on day one. You said nothing.
He alienated and insulted our allies. You said nothing.
His ICE Army terrorized and murdered U.S. citizens. You said nothing.
He committed murder on the high seas. You said nothing.
He co-opted the Justice Department and directed it to prosecute his political enemies. You said nothing.
It’s time to start talking.
Today I had the privilege of visiting the Community Health Center of Southeast Kansas. It is our state’s largest Federally Qualified Health Center, and we cannot thank them enough for everything they do to care for Kansans. Decisions in Washington have made healthcare unaffordable for far too many families! We need to do better.
Great last stop today and great crowd in Crawford County – loved connecting with fellow Kansans who are passionate about our state and how to fix the current chaos coming out of Washington. It’s time for leadership that cares about affordability and cares about actually listening to Kansan voices.
Campaigning today in Pittsburg - what a great day with great folks in the community! We volunteered at Wesley House, met with folks at Pitt State, visited the Community Health Center, and joined a great gathering of folks tonight.

This morning, we had a really meaningful visit with the Wesley House food pantry in Pittsburg. We heard how they're helping working families who are struggling to pay for groceries they need thanks to the failed policies coming from Washington. For 38 years, I’ve preached about loving our neighbors and doing our part to make our world a better place – more like the world we believe it should be. The Wesley House is doing exactly that in their community. As your senator, we’ll put people over politics and do what’s right for all Kansans.
Our second stop of the day was the Atchison Farmers’ Market. It’s turned into a beautiful day to grab some fresh food and hear from you about what new leadership can do for our state. Thank you to those of you who joined me this morning, including our local Democratic County Chair. The best part of campaigning is meeting and hearing from you. We’re going to win this thing and bring new leadership – listening and fighting for all of us!
At a time when Kansas families are struggling with the cost of living, Roger Marshall voted for a law that's now stripped food assistance from more than 10,000 of our children — even as grocery prices keep climbing.
I don't believe that reflects who we are. Every child in Kansas deserves to know where their next meal is coming from. That's just basic decency, and it's a Kansas value.
When I'm your senator, I'll put people before politics and look out for our neighbors, especially those who are struggling. We take care of our own. https://t.co/ojSdBovVkR
He called an armed mob to the capital for a coup d'état. They injured 170 cops & did $1.5M in damage. They pooped & peed on the floors, smeared their filth on the walls; w/a noose, confederate flags they chanted: Hang Pence. Now he's paying them reparations. #JAN6
