There are a lot of things Ms. Swift could do with her day and she chose to spend it making the day unforgettable for kids in Kansas City deserving of our love and support. Ms. Swift is a remarkably positive impact on our community. Delighted to have her here whenever she comes.

Not true at all. Just had a great chat with @kcpolice Chief Graves. We’re enchanted to welcome everyone to tomorrow’s parade and the women and men of our police department are prepared to keep all safe. We’ll have a great championship celebration for our Chiefs!.

Senator, those of us here in Missouri aren’t concerned about Pennsylvania. We’re worried about our families, our communities, our health. Stop the charade. It’s gone on too long. It’s impacted lives today. It’s tearing apart our country.

We’re a good city of good people. I heard boos too. But we also have hundreds of thousands more around here who respect the message the players are sharing; who respect the rights of our players and people to voice a strong message and who are working to make us better each day.

I have already learned today of a business that has declined to come to Kansas City, Missouri because of the eager action of our state leaders to restrict the rights of women and families. I expect more to follow. I regret it, but understand.

This was the right result—accountability. George Floyd should be alive today, as should many others. I appreciate the jury’s work. Now we must continue ours. Keep up the pressure. #DerekChauvinTrial.

By the way, me writing “but that’s okay,” was me being Midwestern and passive aggressive. It’s really not okay. Talked to the election director this AM and will be following up further. If the mayor can get turned away, think about everyone else. We gotta do better.

Long suspension? Sure. Punishment? Sure. But I’m never gonna stand for throwing away a young black man’s career. He’s a kid. He’ll learn from this and he’s embarrassed. Let’s be teachers at a university, not corrections officers.

I've had experience on both sides of death penalty cases. No matter where you stand on capital punishment, it is a travesty to execute someone unless you are certain of their guilt. Missouri is not. May God have mercy on us all.

Katherine and I were together well before I was mayor and I hope she will be willing to stand me long after. Like many over the past challenging year, we spent time reprioritizing what’s most important in our lives and realized it is family.

We have reached the point in our city and our country where de-escalation needs to be our guide. As a result, I will not be issuing a curfew order this evening despite that path being seen today in St. Louis, New York, and many other American cities.

“Go back to Kansas!” shouted the dejected Yankee dude. I replied, “Missouri, actually.”. He looks back at me, shrugs, and shuffles along. But I still wonder. Why is the “go home” thing an insult? We presumably are cool with where we live and what we rep?.

Tim Walz is a great dude. Background on the pic and visit to the KC Current opener… He came to town for a fundraiser with little time, but heard about our stadium and wanted to meet up. Didn’t need acknowledgement, any VIP treatment. Just wanted to support. You’ll love him.
