The echoes of Pat Roberts here are unmistakable Not just lacking his own home in Kansas, but the spouse being a realtor elsewhere. In Roberts’s case, it was suburban, DC. Here, it is Florida. (Of course, Roberts benefited from a flawed primary opponent, longer incumbency and a great environment in Obama’s second midterm…) Public records show his wife has held a Florida real estate license for half of her husband’s Senate term and has another license application pending. Records also show Roger Marshall has held fishing licenses in Florida since 2019 and used a P.O. Box in Kansas as his primary personal mailing address. He appeared Saturday alongside Hamilton at the Kansas State Fair in Hutchinson in the first senatorial debate of the season, where he addressed his residency. “My home is a short hour’s drive down a gravel road here,” Marshall said. The crowd groaned, laughed and jeered kansasreflector.com/2026/09/…

The state's brief dropped at 4:59. I was on air with other stories. It doesn't ask the 8th Circuit to change November's map. It asks the court to rule the referendum petition itself unconstitutional, which the AG says would shape elections "for decades to come." Argument Thurs.

Marshall just said at the State Fair he disagrees with this idea. Okay…
Comment how you will spend your $5,000 Trump Dividend when Republicans win in November.

BOO THIS MAN!
LONGEST HOT STRETCH IN 14 YEARS KC Update Wednesday, September 2 - Last Saturday through this Sunday would make the longest stretch of 95+ since 2012 - The last time it was this hot for this long, “Call Me Maybe” and “Somebody That I Used To Know” were top songs - Minor dip possible Labor Day, but no meaningful cool-down looks likely until next Thursday at this point - Heat isn’t the only concern, as rapid onset drought is being monitored #kcwx #kswx #mowx
