His specific complaint may be correct, but he is just inviting more focus on his past strong support of Brownback and the “Kansas Experiment”. The Streisand Effect is real.

Everybody should drive the Talimena National Scenic Byway in the Ouachita Mountains at least once in their lifetime. I did it on a bicycle, but those hills are brutal.

Roger Marshall has an ad claiming that Hamilton absconded with $3 million in PPP loans. Resurrection Church did take the loans, but it’s a matter of pride that they repaid them in full, something that only 1% of PPP recipients can say. Marshall knew that his ad was a lie, this is actual defamation

I'm old enough to remember whe he tried to do $2k Covid Relief checks. It went over like a lead balloon with the GOP Congress that he needed to approve it. But $5k should be no problem.... www.npr.org/2020/12/22/9...

When it approved the project, the Missouri Public Service Commission found that the Grain Belt Express would save Missourians $17 billion in lower electric bills. Senator Josh Hawley, leading opponent: “The Grain Belt Express boondoggle loan has been cancelled”

Meanwhile, Republican politicians in neighboring states, who do backflips to support power transmission lines for fossil fuel plants, successfully cancelled loan guarantees for new transmission lines that would send excess capacity to eastern states. We are so screwed up.

Denmark has 7.5 GW of installed capacity. The US state of KS has about 9 GW installed, which is about 1% of it's total 900+ GW potential.

"If only workers in those states realized it." These people voted to be racist, not poor. Maybe they will start to notice that something is off when they lose their job and find their social safety net gutted. Yet somehow they will blame Joe Biden.

GLP-1’s have helped me lose weight, and I’ve never even taken them. I was considering, but the cost motivated me to revisit efforts to diet, and for the last 18 months I have reversed my weight gain trend and lost a lot. My wife has had great results on Wegovy though, it has been a miracle for us.

The pool originally pulled from the municipal system, but they added a secondary system to filter from a nearby tidal basin. They can use either to meet needs, and it's unclear which source they are using right now. Chlorine would be more effective. Both on the algae and on the blue paint...
