Horses matter to my family, so it’s painful to see a smart Hutchinson program shut down. It reduced wild horse overpopulation, rehabilitated inmates with real skills, and provided affordable horses funded by its own auctions. Cutting this helps no one.

Was honored to hear @colinmcroberts.bsky.social speak last night - great views on accountability in the Department of Education and the economic importance of flipping Kansas’ 1st Congressional District. colinforkansas.com

There's no reason to hold ICE to a lower standard than local cops--and nothing stopping the GOP majority from solving a problem for a change. But they won't. So let's elect some politicians with practical solutions. www.colinforkansas.com

Done. Well, one step closer to being done, at least. But if it picks up critical mass among candidates, real action becomes a lot more likely. www.facebook.com/share/p/18K7...

I'm writing this up as one of my campaign planks tonight. Let's put it on more politicians' agendas.

Yet another United States Attorney disqualified because they were illegally appointed. This is five now? H/t Roger Parloff. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I'm running against one of the Republicans who helped Elon Musk kick USAID to death. He's been trying to walk it back, claiming he'll rebuild it. Even the architects of this disaster are being forced to admit it was wrong. And Kansans are pissed about this, for financial and moral reasons.

Kris Kobach, the KS Atty General, was an early, active, shameless election denier. He popularized lies about non-citizens voting, which of course he couldn't prove after they helped boost him to power. I'm very excited to be appearing with the man who's going to end his political career.

It might be cringe but I sincerely and earnestly recommend getting involved with local political orgs as the best remedy to despair. Connect with the good people in your community and do the work. I promise it helps. I attended the Douglas County KS Democrats happy hour tonight & am so inspired.

Five years ago today a mob attacked the Capitol in an attempt to deny democracy. They were acting on conspiracy theories my opponent promoted. We have a duty: don't let liars pollute the history of the attempted insurrection, the way they tried to deny the election. demsofstate.org/insurrection...

@colinmcroberts.bsky.social is willing to call this what it is: an act of war against a sovereign nation.

Even in Kansas! @colinmcroberts.bsky.social for KS-01!

I’m working next to Colin (@colinmcroberts.bsky.social) at a coffee shop while he writes thank-you notes to donors to his congressional campaign. Seeing how many of you have donated to him makes my heart so full. THANK YOU so much, dear friends!!!

Fantastic news! The ACLU won a HUGE concession from the administration, which will now review some of the frozen and denied grant applications individually and without the arbitrary directives that the ACLU challenged. Here's the stipulation: www.aclu.org/documents/ap...

Ending the year with a bang on Within Reason with Mike Matson, one of those programs showing what good media can do to connect people to politics. www.youtube.com/live/IkUvug-...

A TikTok town hall, my first and one of the ways we can reach voters across a district as big as the Kansas First. www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-mh...

I'm Colin McRoberts, running for Congress in the Kansas First District. And I approve the hell out this message.

If I'd voted for this the aftermath would haunt me for the rest of my life. I doubt the people who did vote for it have looked at the numbers even once, or experienced a second of empathy.

He straight up Roger Marshalled it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKP6...

This is why Congress exists--to be a check and a balance. Time to elect some congressmen who remember that. www.wsj.com/economy/the-...

An American degree is our greatest export and universities and colleges are the backbone of flourishing cities and communities. This is like setting fire to silo after silo of grain, burning the fields, poisoning the ground. America is currently in a war to survive its own federal government.

This is the worst defense from Tuberville since he gave up 40 fucking points to Tulsa

The theme of the midterm simply has to be putting Congress back in order. Everything follows from that.

Two $20 billion gut punches to American ag, already suffering under illegal tariffs. And not only do we have nothing to show for it, it's looking more and more like we're going to be bailing them out for the third or fourth time. This month. The third or fourth time *this month.*

Kansas has much potential. Plains people quickly tire of the bullshit. And @colinmcroberts.bsky.social is stepping up in Kansas. colinforkansas.com

Farmer Gibbs: These cows have a question for Donald Trump. Trump bailed out Argentina with 40B dollars of US taxpayer money, so Argentina could sell their soybeans to China. Now Trump wants to buy Argentinian beef?! Trump screwed Ag. #AmericaFirst? #TrumpTradeWar #TrumpHatesFarmers OG @ sl65000

Last weekend I put down my stump speech. No one should be more focused on checks and balances than Congress. But no one is more eager to bend the knee than Congressional Republicans today. Put Congress back to work. #nokings #colinforkansas #kansas www.facebook.com/share/v/19kL...

Meeting up and making connections with K-State Young Dems. Organized, effective, and motivated!

This isn't the Trump Shutdown this is the Epstein Shutdown and I think Dems should call it that

Small No Kings event puts love ahead of politics in rural Kansas town where immigrants are detained share.google/xm3OAe4T6ipJ...

Newsom or Pritzker should loudly signal that people who have clean records who quit because this isn’t what they signed up to do will get their careers back when the winds change.

Elites collapsed and capitulated. Regular people never did. #NoKings

No kings except Godzilla.

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

Stopped on my way home from Democracy Fest and the No Kings rally in Hays, Kansas to admire Kansas and talk about why I'm running for Congress. #colinforkansas #nokings #election #kansas

I'm in Hays, Kansas on a tour of the towns in the district where I'm running for Congress. After our speeches and hearing from the people here we're heading out to our local NK. Red states are full of people who want better for their neighbors and their country.

Tim Walz: "Here's what I'd challenge Trump to do: find three soybean farmers who will stand with you and say that's okay. Just three. I challenge you to do that because you're not gonna find them."

It turns out that what Todd Gilbert meant by "that escalated quickly" is that he was unwilling to support a grand jury investigation into the origins of the Trump/Russia case. I'm surprised and impressed that Gilbert took this stand. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/14/u...

“No Kings” is great , but we really don't get a functioning democracy back until we internalize, bone deep, the instinctive response to this and every other statement like it: “I don’t care what that rich guy thinks.” Make it your morning affirmation. Say it ten times at the top of every hour.

A supporter reminded me the other day that Trump ran on the promise that he'd be his supporters' retribution. They were worried that if we take the same approach, we'll lose our soul. I think that's right. Our promise is to rebuild, not revenge. Accountability, not retribution.

We were in Dodge City and Abilene yesterday with gubernatorial and senate candidates, along with some impressive local and union leaders. A thousand conversations and a hundred speeches and you're just getting started. A long road but it goes where it needs to. www.facebook.com/share/v/14MR...

My latest: Most Kansas voters are not Republicans. But the GOP still thinks it ought to control every single one of our House seats “to reflect the people.” #ksleg GIFT LINK. www.kansascity.com/opinion/read...

Opinion editor @claywires.bsky.social writes: As D.C. turns out the lights, Kansas politicos double down on performative dumbness #ksleg

The GOP can't pretend it's negotiating in good faith when it lies to Dems. And they can't pretend to stand for farmers while destroying programs like Feed the Future. www.politico.com/live-updates...

I'm the only Democrat running for office in the First District. Redistricting would likely help me. I oppose it. It's wrong to rig elections because voters won't do what they're told. And it's wrong even if it helps me. It's a lesson my opponent forgot a long time ago.

No one would go into education if they didn't want to make a difference in the lives of others. - @rweingarten.bsky.social

So just to be clear: The US is propping up Argentina’s economy, and now Argentina can eliminate its export taxes, so it can sell tons of soybeans to China, so China isn’t forced to buy soybeans from the US, so the US can pay subsidies to keep our farmers solvent. www.reuters.com/world/china/...
