Seems like SpaceX / Starlink should be a prime candidate for this.

It’s heartening to see my MAGA family member and his circle of friends finally turning the corner. It’s sad that it took Epstein to do this, but I will take it.

Is this from the Storm Shield app? I turned off all of the warnings except for tornados, tsunamis, and volcanoes. Those last 2 seem unlikely around KC, but if they happened I would definitely appreciate the notifications.

I’m fine with him having that position. I’m not ok with him using it to deflect from the real issues that he should be focusing on here.

According to a sci-fi series I read a few years ago, there are some pretty bad aliens in M33 / Triangulum Galaxy. Not recommended.

What are those little points of light? We don’t get those here in the city.

Believe it or not, Josh Hawley is only the 2nd worst US Senator from the state of Missouri.

Awesome! I used to commute from downtown to Overland Park, and the SW Blvd section was always a bit scary.

Roger Marshall voted against this "HUGE win for Kansas farmers and rural America" in 2022.

We are getting one also, Parsons KS. Prevailing winds would put this exactly upwind from the Kansas City area. It’s supposed to be in operation by July. What could go wrong? 🍨

Nothing to see here. Just the president making the case for why the Fed MUST remain independent.

"Because of the vast amounts of money flowing into our Country because of Tariffs"

That's not how any of this works.

"ICE is not reformable"

Same can be said for the Republican Party.

My buddy up in Chillicothe, MO has gone from being a Republican never Trumper to saying more recently that he is a Conservative who will never vote for another Republican for the rest of his life.

3 homicides in Minneapolis this year, 2 of them committed by ICE.

"Real Americans". My MAGA Senator's favorite dog whistle here lately.

IMO, a new conservative party needs to emerge as a part of the healing process, a party that disavows anything Trump or MAGA. The MAGA can keep control of the GOP as it fades into obscurity.

Every time he says that he will β€œcharge” another country a tariff, the MAGA base gets a little dumber. And that is also saying something.

Kansas, like most states, has always done its own thing. For example, the annual influenza vaccine has been on the CDC schedule for many years, but only 2-3 states actually require it.

Interestingly, Google Maps had this building labeled as "Building 7" until a couple of days ago, but all labeling has since been removed.

It's in Kansas City 6th district, Johnathan Duncan is the council member for 6.

It actually is in KC, but confusion is understandable, as it is in kind of a cutout from Grandview. Ironically it is just across from the "Kansas City National Security Campus" that manufactures components for nuclear weapons.
