@nostalgic_ku Watching KU score 79 on the Cornhuskers the year we got on Orange Bowl bid over MU. Second would attending a game as a 10-year-old and watching the Kansas Comet (Gale Sayers) run the opening kick for a TD in route to a 15-14 win over the Sooners.

The Booth was opened on this day in 1921. What’s your favorite memory here? #RockChalk

Whaddya say we give another backpack away? RT for a chance to win it *must be following*

It's never about himself for KU quarterback Jalon Daniels. "The most exciting part about this is just being able to see the amount of smiles and excitement that my teammates have." Full quote here. @JalonDaniels6 #KUfball @KU_Football

@marysdesk You’re welcome! Glad you found it. Produced it a couple of years ago but very much still relevant.

Finally, this pod REALLY helped me understand the state. Thanks @jmcleanks web.archive.org/web/2018092419…

As Kansas votes today, meet the Trump appointee and lifelong Kansan who feels the anti-abortion constitutional amendment on the ballot is a step too far: slate.com/podcasts/what-…

The Kansas Legislature is one step away from banning transgender athletes from women's sports. Story from @jmcleanks. #ksleg kcur.org/news/2022-04-2…

We've got fantastic news: Reporters from the collaborative Kansas News Service have received a total of eight awards, including four first-place honors, in the 2022 Kansas Press Association contest. Congratulations @ksnewsservice! loom.ly/1Resy9w

@BryanLowry3 Cute. You're destined for late-night TV stardom.

So this was some horse (medicine) trading. #ksleg kansascity.com/news/politics-…

House votes to override Gov. Kelly's veto of congressional redistricting map that divides Wy Co and makes liberal Lawrence a blue outpost in a sea of western Kansas red. #ksleg @ksnewsservice #ksleg

Seems as if the damn has broken. #ksleg

Republicans need to flip one more "no" vote so that when Rep. Hoffman is found he can cast the deciding 84th vote to override. #ksleg

@AndrewBahl Baker is one of a dwindling number of GOP moderates in the House. Wonder what prompted him to change.

Rep. Dave Baker, R-Council Grove, is now a YES vote Two more needed for Republicans to get to 84 and override on the maps. One of the absentees is a presumed yes (Rep. Kyle Hoffman, R-Coldwater) #ksleg

Rep. Joe Seiwert is now voting yes on the maps #ksleg We're still absent the three other members (and the three needed votes to override)

House Democrats following one another to the mic to complain about the map, hoping to convince a handful of Republicans to join them in sustaining Kelly's veto. Didn't happen in the Senate. #ksleg @ksnewsservice

Jo Co Dem. Clayton warns lawmakers it's a mistake to rely on the courts as a backstop. "It's our job," she says reconfigure the state's congressional districts. #ksleg @ksnewsservice

Burroughs says "gerrymandering is one thing, political spite is another," when talking about moving liberal-leaning Lawrence in the mostly rural, Republican Big 1st. #ksleg @ksnewsservice

House begins override debate with Dem. Rep. Burroughs making one last plea to sustain Kelly's veto of map that divides Wy Co and dispatches Lawrence to the Big 1st. #ksleg

@Ptsbrian To twist the arms of the Republican senators who are present and voting "no." There are three of them, each, I suspect, for reasons other than the map itself.

Okay, #ksleg denizens help me understand something: If there are 25 votes for the override and only one of the still-absent senators is Republican (likely to support it), why are GOP leaders holding a Call of the Senate to force a vote that would fall short of the needed 27?

@samzeff I predicted it months ago.

A headline I never thought I'd read...

ICYMI: Our @DanMargolies had a busy Friday getting this scoop. kcur.org/news/2021-09-1…

This man is unfit for any governmental or electoral position. Rarely has someone risen so far above his level of competence.

Roger Marshall’s critics predict his Trump-first sensibility won’t leave as much room for compromise in a Congress now controlled by Democrats. @jmcleanks has more for @ksnewsservice. kcur.org/news/2021-02-2…
