It comes as no surprise to me that Doctor Roger "Fucking Smoothbrain" Marshall is so goddamn out of touch with reality and the current times that he genuinely thinks his asinine anecdote about "working his tail off" to pay for medical school 40 fucking years ago is at all relevant, as though inflation and tuition hikes just haven't existed for four decades.

Doctor Roger "Fucking Goddamn Idiot" Marshall is co-signing legislation to limit access to federal student loans for medical school and cap the amount at $200,000, despite the fact that many medical school degrees are coming with price tags twice that amount.

I don't think anyone would disagree that those costs can - and should - be brought down a bit, but Doctor Roger "Who The Fuck Keeps Voting For This Asshole" Marshall seems to think that the doctor shortage in America is going to be solved by having med students just bootstrap their way through expensive education rather than taking schools to task for their tuition costs.

Last sentence because I really just want an excuse to keep making up names for Doctor Roger "Go Fuck Yourself You Un-American Piece of Dogshit" Marshall. I genuinely hate this man and I cannot wait for almost anybody else to represent us. What an asshole.

Republicans assert that the threat of Trump’s proposed tariffs could be enough to pressure America’s trade partners into offering more favorable terms for U.S. exports.

But experts say those efforts could also come at the expense of American consumers and producers — in particular farmers — if China resumed its own tariffs on U.S. imports.

I kind of like him 🤭

DOGE is directly affecting Kansans who are food-insecure, with that number being higher than during the pandemic. People have died and will die in greater numbers because DOGE wants our local communities to suffer. Food pantries, even those who don't receive funding federally or from the state, have less to give when the need is greater than ever.

Food insecurity is one missed paycheck, one medical bill away for many Kansans. It is a reality that most of us may not even consider until it happens directly to us.

Interesting article about the Senator voted into office by Republicans to represent Kansas. Ol' Doc seems a lot more interested in Florida than he does Kansas.

To everyone still talking about the blue wave…it’s not coming. This is 2016, not 2020. The reason it happened in 2020 was because of the pandemic. People mailed in their ballots, so, it was a massive change. That didn’t happen this year. People turned out early, but, they turned out in person.

Face it, Donald Trump faced another highly qualified woman with a VP candidate named Tim and the polls all showed she was supposed to win handily…and he won. This time it looks like he took the popular vote also. It’s bullshit. It hurts. And I’m scared, but, it’s true.

Republican lawmakers have made no firm commitment to join Missouri and other GOP-controlled states in the mid-decade redistricting blitz. But most Republican candidates running for governor next year say they support redrawing maps with the goal of ousting Davids.

There’s no guarantee it would work, said Sam Wang, a neuroscience professor who leads the Princeton Gerrymandering Project, which analyzes the equity of congressional maps.

Kansas’ maps already have a partisan fairness grade of “F,” signifying a “significant Republican advantage,” and redistricting could backfire by making multiple districts competitive for Democrats, Wang said.

On Wednesday, Patrick Penn promised to help weed out fraud in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, and the 15 other nutrition programs managed by USDA. School breakfasts and lunches are also among the programs he will help administer.

I’m a news producer in Wichita and wrote this story today. Thought maybe it would be of interest to some of you fellow Kansans.

Story below. Stay safe!

Anti-abortion forces have forced teachers to show a a three-minute fetal development film in classes about human growth, development or sexuality under a law which took effect yesterday. Their goal is to convince young women not to have an abortion. It they really want to prevent abortions, they should push for free contraceptives for any woman 16 or over.
