Quite an upset in the #KSGov Dem primary. State Sen. Cindy Holscher, who came out against data centers and the Kansas City Chiefs stadium deal, has defeated state Sen. Ethan Corson, who had a big financial edge and an endorsement from term-limited Gov. Laura Kelly.

PetardTo be fair, the moderate wing of the Democratic party also denigrates and runs against the Democratic party. Not sure that dynamic existed in the GOP during the tea party era.
btw afik none of the White House reporters (the same ones who dined on steak at lobster at the correspondents dinner w/ Trump and his officials) asked Trump any questions about money laundering today or yesterday. 🤔

"It’s unbelievable to subject kids to these kinds of invasive medical exams that have no basis in health or safety. One of my daughters is a rising fourth-grader, and she played a sport last year. Are you going to ask a fourth-grader to undergo this?” s/o @momsrising.org

I love Talarico and hope he wins. But he’s already raised $70M On the flipside, control of critical state legislatures will come down to seats where candidates raise 0.1% of that. I’ve researched the highest leverage swing district candidates you should donate to secure.actblue.com/donate/donat...
