I won't leave a question as serious as non-citizen voting to the tender mercies of our activist courts. That's why I sponsored and passed the Citizens-Only Voting amendment so only citizens vote in KS. Vote YES this November! #ksleg

I *may* have given Mr. Bibble one too many treats, which resulted in an, um ... accident. My bad, he's still a good boy. 🙂

Bibble is a graduate from Canine Courage. He is a 2 years old and is “pick-your-price.” He’s shy but warms up quickly and has been in the shelter since January. You can adopt him here: kshumane.org

This is sad and painful for me to say this because Andrea @mitchellreports was once a friend to me and a supporter of Countdown, but she has lost her ability to perceive the present reality of American politics, and needs to be retired.

Jacob Philadelphia was five years old when he visited the Oval Office and asked if his hair was like mine. That photo became one of our favorites – a reminder of the power of seeing yourself in your leaders. Today, he's graduating from high school! Check out our recent reunion.

Sorry no tweets from the State of the State tonight. Somebody apparently hacked me and changed my password. I just now got it back.
