Actually, you paid for his trips, too. He’s a U.S. Senator so taxpayers paid for his trips. And his campaigning.

Hey Clay Wirestone @claywires.bsky.social , this is worth a look-see. Apparently Marshall’s super generous extra payment doesn’t account for the cost of inflation either. Maybe Sherman Smith can find out whether it was the campaign or the taxpayer who paid this. bsky.app/profile/davi...

Did Majed do any research on LFK before he came here? Any at all? Maybe like “what landmines have tripped up LFK colleagues in a leadership position” or something?

So … big government should have come along and read the rules to him to make sure he understood? Isn’t the SoS supposed to be the rules person for Kansas? Maybe he failed the interview. Maybe he brought a coffee with him?

Five girls. Desperately trying for that all-important boy. And yes - deep sympathy for John on this tragedy. The rest of his decisions - not so much.

Isn’t it? It helps to live in LFK. I am surprised that Bacon’s commitment to public service, such as it is, has lasted so long. I saw him as a church-backed guy when the big fad was to take over schools. Never dreamed he’d last this long. He did engender my sympathy when he lost a child.

Yep -I remember the night John Bacon was elected to state board -I was helping his opponent. (Apparently, I was not as effective as I should have been.) And I remember the votes on “intelligent design.” Gad. Here’s hoping you’re correct, an up to date in a way I’m not, about the eventual turnover.

His ads are terrific - granted. But Roger just absolutely handed him the dynamite. Suing people who needed medical care? Then trying to say it’s not his fault - it’s all because of missed court appearances? Bah. Then again, Trump hiking diesel prices and flooding the beef market can’t help.

Kansan here - let ‘em spend in my state. Roger Marshall’s free publicity in NYTimes (he has patients with delinquent bills arrested!) was both horrifying and glorious. Adam Hamilton would never treat fellow Kansans like that.

Appealing to employers is the only way you’d get any Ks senator or Rep (excluding Sharice) to pay attention to kidnappings like this. It’s not the humanity of the people who are abused that’s the problem to them.

Susan Collins was at the center of a major bribery probe for steering millions in contracts to a company whose CEO illegally funneled thousands to her campaign. Then Trump took office and gutted the FBI and DOJ units investigating her. Is this what "being moderate" looks like?

That debate “performance” and general lack of smarts that Marshall has displayed has really undone the Republicans. To be fair - maybe Vance should have vouched for Roger to Floridians, not to us.

It is a likely Republican seat but (Kansan here) we did have two statewide constitutional amendments about abortion that we turned down and the vote was 60-40 both times. Keep your fingers crossed that Adam Hamilton can flip this seat.
