Exclusive at Kansas Reflector || bsky @kansasreflector.com: Let Kansans live free’: Leaked emails to efficiency portal call for abortion rights, school funding #ksleg kansasreflector.com/2025/04/07/let…

It will never cease to amaze that Americans basically just got bored of having the best lives on the planet so they elected a lunatic to blow it up in the hopes of building some microwave factories for their children to find meaning in.

Reflector editor Sherman Smith took a bunch of cool photos the last few days of the session. So I badgered him into putting this photo essay together. #ksleg kansasreflector.com/2025/04/12/edi…

Pat Proctor CJOnline Hi Rep. Proctor, I don't know what other story you're referring to. I quoted and paraphrased this statement at length. You've said you'd get rid of early voting if you could in at least two town halls. That's why it's of note that you've never voted on Election Day in Kansas.

Each day now in Lawrence, where my family and I live, I watch the clouds roll in and the rains come. My latest. #ksleg kansasreflector.com/2025/05/31/coc…

From earlier this month: School funding task force warns of fearmongering. Kansas K-12 supporters have reason to be afraid. #ksleg kansasreflector.com/2025/05/12/sch…

What I appreciate about such bars is that any one person’s political leanings make no difference. The customer might be diehard MAGA or pushy progressive. Regardless, if you insult the bartender or order too many drinks, you’re not welcome. #ksleg kansasreflector.com/2025/05/15/pol…

The Kansas Senate Committee on Government Efficiency claims to be working for the good of all by ferreting out waste and bloat in state government. Perhaps it should start with itself. #ksleg kansasreflector.com/2025/05/22/why…

Could it be that large language models, as we currently experience them, only go so far and work well in limited circumstances? Could it be that the furor we’ve experienced stems mostly from marketing hype and the wishful thinking of tech bros? #ksleg kansasreflector.com/2025/05/27/cha…

This kind of shit is how you KNOW the government isn’t hiding aliens from us

Us gay people persist in living across all 50 states, and in every country around the globe besides. We’ve most definitely settled in Kansas. #ksleg kansasreflector.com/2025/06/05/the…

Thanks to the U.S. Constitution and its First Amendment, we are not required to love, like or even respect our government. We are not required to voice support of its goals. #ksleg kansasreflector.com/2025/06/09/thi…

My tribute to Brian Wilson. What an incredible legacy. #ksleg kansasreflector.com/2025/06/16/how…

One of the greatest running jokes in 21st century American life is how cosmopolitan leftists and suburban liberals are really the only ones to still have the kinds of high-trust communities that conservatives fetishize.
