The four questions but it’s just SNL’s Tucker Carlson impression

I yearn for the day that I see:

BREAKING: President Ocasio-Cortez projected to ban prediction markets by end of week.

97% chance.

Did you just get THAT misleading text from the Republicans?

If you believe that out of state billionaires have no place in Missouri politics, ignore them and sign a petition to defend your constitutional rights as soon as you can! Who listens to random texts anyways?

what the fuck is this headline

As World Cup demands loom, transit leaders face hard decisions to pay for extra bus service Kansas City has been asking the state and federal government for financial help to pay for extra buses during the World Cup. The clock is ticking, and the transit agency hasn’t gotten a dime.

Great quotation from our chair @tah.bsky.social and other transit leaders in this article from The Beacon about transit challenges ahead of the World Cup in Kansas City next year.

Bottom line: we don't fund transit enough. The region needs a better funding model:

Short piece from @rah.bsky.social that made conservatives in well-known parts of the Kansas City-region, like Tulsa or Wichita, have a melt down.

KC friends & folks who like to build progressive momentum:

It’s time to donate to @rah.bsky.social!

Every couple months I post this, but follow @taniel.bsky.social!

It’s not the biggest story of the night but shout out to @bradlander.bsky.social for what he did in the primary & after supporting @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social. Having a Jewish New Yorker stand up for & alongside with Zohran (not to mention immigrants in NYC) has been so inspiring.

I already have and you should too.

They say all politics is local and from my own experience much of what actually impacts your life is local issues! Rebeca is well versed in the issues with a strong base ready to go!

Invest in KC, and invest in yourself by investing in Rebeca today!

Let’s celebrate by supporting our own progressive candidate here in KC! Donate to @rah.bsky.social ‘s campaign tonight!

I put $20 in because I believe Rebeca will make a better KC that’s more affordable and cares for all its residents.

The Most Detailed Map of the New York City Mayoral Election See how New Yorkers are voting, precinct by precinct

Zohran Mamdani will become New York City's next mayor. This map shows the most precise data available on how New Yorkers voted.

Hey if you are excited about @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social and want to support other progressive candidates, it’s a great night to donate to @rah.bsky.social!

Big downside to today being the NYC mayoral is that there is no way @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social keeps up with this level of content creation after today.

the never ending Royals stadium conversation reminds me a lot of how I follow baseball: surprised it’s going on this long and mostly via headlines

BlueSky is generally enjoyable, but the lack of Kansas City critical user mass has really taken away from what I like about social media. I don’t want my social media to primarily be a feed of national dialogue! I want to discuss/complain about local things online.

People really don’t understand how cool a decent bus system can be!

So much of what Zohran’s campaign is doing comes down to behind the scenes hires and being willing to not follow normal rules of campaigning.

Looking forward to the eventual post-victory pieces where they go more into depth regarding campaign decisions!

My primary care doctor has a page on the office’s official website dedicated to the virtues of ranked choice voting and reminding you of the next election.

Voters across the Kansas City metro support a sales tax for better bus service, new poll finds A new poll from the Kansas City Regional Transit Alliance found that voters in four counties across the metro would support a regional sales tax dedicated to bus service, even as soon as next year.

Kansas City Regional Transit Alliance Vice Chair Michael Kelley says the poll shows that people across the metro will support public transit if their local governments invest in it, especially at a time when the state and federal governments are pulling back transit funding.

KCRTA Board Chair Tristin Amezcua-Hogan presents on recent poll data about public support for transit funding.

Our chair @tah.bsky.social is presenting at the KCATA Regional Mobility Summit this morning!

The topic -- results from our poll on transit funding. Learn more: kcrta.org/2025/10/02/k...

Image from KCRTA. The text reads: "We believe that public transit funding is a REGIONAL problem. So we decided to hire the top transit pollster in the country to ask real voters in Jackson, Johnson, Clay, and Wyandotte Counties if they would vote to approve a sales tax that would fund a regional bus system. Here is what a majority of voters told us..."

🚨ADVOCACY ALERT!🚨 KCRTA polling shows majority voter support for transit funding across the Kansas City region! 🧵 1 of 4:

I’ve gotta assume this is it for Frank. This + results from the early vote out of eastern Jackson County should be it.

This isn’t my usual content, but multiple bars in KC that usually have $10-$20 cover on weekends are advertising that they are cover free.
