Apropos of everything, if you want to do something tangible that I promise REALLY makes a difference, throw some quarters at @colinmcroberts.bsky.social ‘s campaign to unseat a MAGA bootlicker in the heat of ruby-red Kansas. colinforkansas.com

The president didn't bother to make the case for war in a marathon State of the Union address and then he fucked off to his sweaty gilded country club so he could literally phone in an unconstitutional war. Every single Democrat needs to be screaming about this at full volume.

Have i got good news for you

White House stalls release of approved US science budgets: The administration has not yet released funding Congress allocated to multiple research agencies, so they cannot provide it to funded entities/people - including NIH and NASA. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

I borrowed Mr. Technopants, my son Ox's Lego creation, to help explain how ICE is violating the rights of Americans--and why it's a problem for Americans even if only immigrants were being abused. youtu.be/5gJRwurl4NI

Interesting new tool for tracking the politicization and weaponization of the Justice Department: NACDL - NACDL Criminal Case Tracker share.google/WWiTCVa9xUtP...

Seeing a guy lose a tooth and play through has only made Ox more eager to play. If only there was a closer rink!

52 letters in 52 days Not one response to my question from my so-called "Representative."

Not everything about running for Senate is glamorous. But if you care enough about something, you show up anyway. Kansas is worth it. Consider donating today! secure.actblue.com/donate/chris...

The only thing Marnie loves more than scratches is a good decision in the Supreme Court. And you know she's a huge fan of free trade. #colinforkansas #tariffs #midterms #kansas #Politics

Firms are gearing up for the Refund Wars now. We're likely to see billions transferred from government to corporate coffers. And good! The taxes were illegal. But *consumers* shouldered much of the tariff burden. And won't get those refunds. A massive wealth transfer from consumers to investors.

It's Day 50 of Project No Cap For 50 days, I've been writing my Congressman, Tracey Mann. For 50 days, I've asked him why he doesn't support Uncapping the House. For 50 days, he's not answered that simple question. His continued silence makes him look worse and worse.

I've been writing my U.S. Rep, Tracey Mann, every day for 49 days and he has not responded to me about why he doesn't support Uncapping the House. Now, @colinmcroberts.bsky.social, who is running against him in the upcoming midterm election, SUPPORTS UNCAPPING THE HOUSE OH SNAP #projectnocap

An interesting reform we're starting to push for is uncapping the House of Representatives, making each district roughly 500k people. (It's about 750k now, with some up to a million.)

At the Kansas Rural Center's Food and Farm Conference, learning how Congress can support rural life -- renewing underfunded Rural Cooperative Development Grants, supporting the WORK Act and Main Street Employee Ownership Act, and local action. #rurallife #coop #kansaspolitics #colinforkansas

Getting the word out as a candidate: we can curb ICE violence by amending Section 1983, holding feds to the same standards as local cops. www.cjonline.com/story/opinio...

Doing a TikTok town hall for my congressional campaign, and I'm pleased to report that the young people are sharp, observant, and unafraid to tell important truths.

Over 1,200 miles in the car this weekend, to and from the far corners of Kansas. Up by 5 and home after midnight, making every hour count: tabling with the party, meeting supporters, lecturing on negotiation strategy, and seeing a bald eagle strike. God, I love Kansas.

Texas today, Kansas in November! @colinmcroberts.bsky.social

The greatest moments in American history are those when we cared more about rights than politics. I'm so proud to see free staters who know their heritage and history. We're proud to stand with them. To read more go to this article: lawrencekstimes.com/2026/01/27/w...

The Farmers Union. Planting common sense and growing America for a hundred and twenty two years.

Hard to see the people of Minneapolis suffering and not being able to do anything concrete to help. So I worked the phones today instead and campaigned. I feel like that sounds selfish, but undermining a Midwestern MAGA incumbent means something right now--especially in a red district and state.

Anyway, @colinmcroberts.bsky.social needs help. It’s a shoestring campaign at this stage. He needs financial support to pay his interns, to get ads out, to pay for traveling across the state. He needs your voices amplifying him on social media (since none of us have extra money these days).

And if you’re so inclined, @colinmcroberts.bsky.social is running against a very confident MAGA incumbent in Kansas. We (he’s my spouse) are trying to build progressive infrastructure in the KS-01, to unite the scattered progressives across the state. (It’s an insanely drawn district, look at a map)

Guys there is so much wrong right now. You may feel powerless, but you aren’t. To paraphrase Nemik, every small act of resistance pushes our lines forward. Keep volunteering. Keep checking on your neighbors. Use your voice.

Here’s another thing we should be doing.

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.
