Thanks @joycewhitevance.bsky.social - this provides clarity I was missing and brings the issue into very clear focus.

I wrote about Judge Talwani’s decision, issued late Thursday, entering a Temporary Restraining Order that puts Trump’s Executive Order on voting by mail back on hold. And I assess how it will hold up at SCOTUS, because we all know that’s where it’s headed. joycevance.substack.com/p/judge-talw...

So glad to see a strong woman win. Cindy is everywhere, talks to everyone, and genuinely cares about her fellow Kansans. Let’s make it happen, Kansas!

In the state Senate, Cindy Holscher has been a champion for Kansas’ working families and she is ready to continue the fight in the governor’s mansion. Congratulations, Cindy! Let’s win in November.

Another reason it’s so important to vote NO on the Supreme Court question on your 8/4 ballot, KS. A bought & paid for court would have sold us out. Thanks for keeping us informed @marcelias.bsky.social!

🚨BREAKING: The Kansas Supreme Court dealt a final blow to Republicans’ bid to revive a strict Election Day mail ballot deadline. The state’s three-day grace period will remain in place for the Aug. 4 primary — protecting voters from postal delays.

The language for this amendment is vague and gives Topeka politicians too much power to decide the rules. That's how Kris Kobach & Ty Masterson want it. If it passes, they get to set the rules. It's a wolf in sheep's clothing. That's why we MUST VOTE NO on August 4th.

New Kansas law limits efforts to document ICE activity. Video shows how officers utilize the law. | #ksleg via @bayaburgess.bsky.social kansasreflector.com/2026/07/17/n...

kansasreflector.comNew Kansas law limits efforts to document ICE activity. Video shows how officers utilize the law. • Kansas ReflectorA new Kansas law criminalizes “approaching” law enforcement officers or first responders within 25 feet under certain circumstances. The law changes how people document ICE activity.

Sen. Roger Marshall is not an intelligent man. This is painful to watch. I have no idea why he agrees to go on CNN and make clear to everyone that he's a fool.

ICE is weaponizing the 25' law and local law enforcement is complicit. ICE agents rush witnesses, box in cars, then call police on them, claiming they violated KS law HB 2372. Local bystanders submitted testimonies from the past few weeks of ICE activity in Kansas. Read their statements below.

OMB is unilaterally making cuts it couldn’t get Congress to agree to in the law, now in a much sneakier way. Read Protect Democracy's Cerin Lindgrensavage’s detailed breakdown of how that works ⬇️

cerin.bsky.social@cerin.bsky.social

OMB has taken five separate cuts at the CDFI program. Last week, they walked back one. Four remain — and at least one may expose OMB officials to personal legal liability. Recently I explained the five cuts and how they happened www.ifyoucankeepit.org/p/this-is-wh... 🧵

Interesting choice of words coming from a sitting US Senator. He repeatedly votes against the interests of his constituents. Starving people to try to stay in power and “own the libs.” Kansans deserve better. www.cjonline.com/story/news/p...

I agree. Why aren’t more Americans screaming about this? This is NOT who we are and I refuse to believe that other Americans are okay with it. We need to stand up

Christopher Webb@cwebbonline.com

My God. ICE wrongfully arrested a man while his 5-year-old autistic child sat in the backseat—and shipped him off to an El Salvador prison. No due process. Now the Trump administration claims they can’t get him back. How many more? THIS NEEDS TO BE A BIGGER STORY.

Very honest questions: 1) Has Rubio been pushed on what we are going to do about the obviously innocent people we sent to El Salvadoran torture prison? 2) Regardless of their priors: Has Rubio publicly stated how long we are going to keep paying El Salvador to torture the people we are sending them?

You are up to date.
