Two thoughts on the Chiefs after trouncing the Ravens: 1. All the people saying we were witnessing the end of the Chiefs have been outed as having no clue what they're talking about 2. It's a little disconcerting that all it took to go from bad to good was one player returning.

I'm not normally a political reporter, but this one has big ramifications for #KansasCity. Got another one coming out tomorrow about the special session's other goal: making it harder for voters to pass laws. https://t.co/O75nZvXfqB

The redistricting effort could break up Kansas City's strong Democratic district and create another Republican seat in Congress.

Fascinating partnership and use case for using AI in a highly public-facing implementation. Thanks for sharing, Mr. Mayor, and looking forward to seeing how this works out.

While our people and their good judgment will always be the front lines of our work, AI as a tool can help deliver more efficient solutions and follow-up to our residents, so that we can better solve everyday concerns. Proud of our work w/@BloombergDotOrg

So 582 people downtown KC said that Chick-fil-A was one of the top retail choices they want to move in — and now it has. Wondering if the other 32,000 people feel the same? 👀 #kansascity #ChickfilA https://t.co/EcFJer0wjA

Chick-fil-A's first foray into Kansas City's urban core will depend on traffic over the trial period.

Really proud of this one: Women's sports bars are springing up in multiple cities, growing from one to 11 in just three years. #womenssports #prosports #sportsbars

These surface lots truly are a cancer on our most valuable real estate. But policy change could potentially turn this problem on its head. Great article in The Washington Post by ⁦@TravisMeierKC⁩.

To be fair, they announced they're planning to expand the South Loop park from Grand all the way through Locust, which is cool.
