Why you so obsessed with me 💅 Is it because you secretly love us or because you don’t actually have anything real to say? #ksleg
This lawsuit isn't about "protecting marginalized voters." Just like the @loud_light / Appleseed lawsuits against the 10 ballot turn-in limit and signature verification of mail-in ballots, it's about protecting their ability to harvest ballots. #ksleg

I'm sad to share that Frances, the First Cat of KS, was laid to rest today. She lived a long, adventurous life & greeted Cedar Crest visitors with pride & demand for affection. Although all good things come to an end, she no doubt left a big paw print as the First Cat of Kansas.
Hi friends and #ksleg, Frances here. Mom's pretty busy these days as the 48th Governor of Kansas. Glad she made it home on this special day. #nationalpetday

How it feels watching the Kansas Republican supermajority pass irresponsible budget & tax bills that set Kansas up for financial collapse when the state just recovered from the financial collapse they caused a decade ago. Who’s ready to fail another generation of kids? #ksleg

Kansas House Republican Majority Leader Rep. Croft & all other (R)’s in view walked away as Rep. McDonald (D) explained how complex pregnancy can be & raised obvious immediate concerns. Rep. Humphries (R) responds by saying it’s fine bc courts will figure it all out. #ksleg

Oh honey, you can’t even announce your campaign without talking about us? Very precious. As we’ve said before, we encourage you to check the facts before making baseless claims. Here’s a few points of clarification for your next interview: #ksleg 1/6
We have a crisis of voter confidence in this state. I'm running for Secretary of State to restore confidence in our elections. I will fight to increase transparency, combat non-citizen voting and ballot harvesting, and clean up our voter rolls. #ksleg

Listen to @RealPatProctor thoughts on women voting in Kansas 2022 primary and general election 👂 “There’s like all these like… WOMEN” “And they’re all there to vote. It’s just uh- it’s- they’re STEALING it fair and square” “They all came back out” #kansas #ksleg

Trumpflation is worse than I thought - the richest man on earth can't even buy a single state supreme court seat.

The House adopted a spending plan Thursday that puts the state on a course to blow through billions in reserves and face a budget shortfall within three years. #ksleg

It’s unnecessary, dangerous, & a disservice to Kansas to pass laws late at night like this. Legislators exhausted & many are not sober. This is an intentional strategy to prevent dissent/debate & pressure legislators to just vote yes so they can go to bed. #ksleg

Hey there! If you read the article, it actually corrects that data since it's election misinformation! It says 78 ballots were missing a post mark in the primary, not 1,000 Hope that helps clear up some of the confusion-would love for you to share the real numbers here! #ksleg
The Secretary of State told us in testimony on this bill that 2% of all mail-in ballots cast in the 2024 primary -- nearly one in three of the ballots received during the three-day grace period -- couldn't be counted because they lacked a postmark. Thirty-two other states have

YEARLY #KSLEG REMINDER: "Call of the House" is just a way for leadership to buy time to harass & threaten members into voting against their conscience/constituents!
Reminder: #ksleg “Call of the House” is just a way for the Speaker to hold legislators hostage as they try to twist arms to get votes. The “missing member” is never “missing,” but is intentionally hidden by the Speaker. It's wild this procedure is legal.

Today’s Kansas Senate debate feels like we’re back in the Brownback days — all austerity. Budget cuts, tax cuts, deficits, platitudes & kicking the can down the road on the state’s biggest challenges. #ksleg
