Former mayors
The Royals and Hallmark downtown will bring millions of people to our city core, build thousands of jobs in the heart of our region and will extend benefits to every corner of Kansas City and our area.
The Supreme Court just let the Trump administration move ahead (for now) with its plan to disenfranchise voters across the country.
California will be suing AGAIN to block these Orwellian rules from being implemented.
I’m enthusiastic about encouraging people to get a Trump account.
I very much oppose these proposed changes, by the current Brooklyn Democratic Party chair. I oppose them because they are an attempt to circumnavigate the will of voters.

His speech was what you talk about at the kitchen table. How America is going to survive all of this?
There is no such thing as again in real life. The only way out is through.
This is what ‘family values’ and being pro-life actually look like: supporting parents, not forcing women to give birth.
Any bad faith attempts to influence elections should be investigated and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
California will continue to fight back against attempts to interfere with our sovereign authority.
Trump’s moves in the Middle East had caused gas prices to surge and that he was using this crisis of his own making to attempt what he’s wanted to do for years: open California’s coast for his oil industry friends so they can poison our…
