Delighted to celebrate the expansion of the Kansas City Streetcar line to UMKC and the Plaza today with my family and so many more.

A wonderful day of progress for transit, density, walkability, and access for all in Kansas City. It’s also free fare.

Congrats, Kansas City. More to come!

An extreme honor and pleasure to talk with Kansas City native Maryam El-Demerdash and her family for this one.

At 19, she’ll be contributing to Egypt’s midfield at WAFCON. She’s certainly excited to face Malawi and KC Current’s Temwa Chawinga next Saturday.

Don't assume your opponents are intelligent just because they have elite academic credentials.

Donald Trump and George W. Bush have Ivy degrees; Harry Truman went to night school at UMKC.
