@crazeywriter.bsky.social@crazeywriter.bsky.socialA Kansas Appeals Court ruled the state must continue to accept mail-in ballots received three days after the election. This stops an attempt by the Sec of State to enforce a statute being challenged in court that would make the cut-off Election Day. kansasreflector.com/2026/10/07/a...
@crazeywriter.bsky.socialLots of discussion during ICE raids in SW KS about whether it would raise the price of beef. The slow-down was too short (basically two days or so) to really have an effect, experts say. But ag relies on immigrant labor & reform is needed. kansasreflector.com/2026/10/06/k...
@crazeywriter.bsky.socialMy first story after spending a day in Dodge City, where ICE agents swept in Sept. 22, arresting about 117 people, according to a government official. DHS listed 5 criminals, but it seems as if most of those arrested were unable to show documentation. kansasreflector.com/2026/10/02/t...
@crazeywriter.bsky.socialJeff Jones, former USD 106 superintendent in Kansas, was charged with 19 felonies & misdemeanors, mostly financial crimes. Two charges involving a minor are aggravated intimidation of a witness/victim & contributing to a child’s misconduct or deprivation.
@crazeywriter.bsky.socialDeep Fission's Parsons, KS, project released its safety design report -- an unusual move, from what I understand. The company says it wants to be transparent with the community as the pilot project (a nuclear reactor set one-mile into the ground) moves forward.
@crazeywriter.bsky.socialHappy Constitution Day! A Kansas program that started with a mock trial of Goldilocks (I mean, she was absolutely trespassing, right?) has gone global, offering 3rd graders insight to our court system and government. kansasreflector.com/2026/09/16/k...
@crazeywriter.bsky.socialVP JD Vance warned fraudsters not to screw with American taxpayers. In a quick trip to KS and MO, he held a campaign rally and held a news conference to announce a fraud crackdown on people who abused the Paycheck Protection Program during COVID pandemic. kansasreflector.com/2026/09/14/v...
@crazeywriter.bsky.social@journalist-sherman.bsky.social and I are in the press pool for VP JD Vance today! Looking forward to hearing him talk about fraud and other national issues.

@crazeywriter.bsky.socialTalk about a loud crowd! The debate between incumbent U.S. Sen. Roger Marshall and Democratic candidate Adam Hamilton drew another boisterous crowd -- so loud it was difficult to hear the candidates at times. Check out @anna-writes.bsky.social story!

@crazeywriter.bsky.socialIt is hot in temperature and temperament at the Kansas State Fair debates. @journalist-sherman.bsky.social cover the governor candidates! kansasreflector.com/2026/09/12/i...
@crazeywriter.bsky.socialI'm back from a brief vacation and heading with the @kansasreflector.com team to the #Kansas State Fair tomorrow for debates! Check it out and stop by or tune in online. (I'm also looking forward to fair food and sweet animals.)

@crazeywriter.bsky.socialInterest in elections is high, as evidenced by the second highest level of voter turnout in Kansas history for the recent primary. Check out @anna-writes.bsky.social story!

@crazeywriter.bsky.socialKansas journalism grad Lara Korte is suing the Pentagon after she was fired from her job at the Stars and Stripes military publication after she spoke out about editorial freedom.
@crazeywriter.bsky.socialKS pharmacist Will Anderson advocates for upping transparency of pharmacy benefit manager tactics (middlemen in the industry). He's pleased Kansas passed a law but it will take time for data to come through. Meanwhile, he's seeing revenues drop. kansasreflector.com/2026/08/31/k...
@crazeywriter.bsky.socialA second data center story about what communities, specifically Loudoun County, VA., are doing to make sure data centers develop appropriately. Interesting how much they have learned, and how many questions remain. kansasreflector.com/2026/08/27/k...
@crazeywriter.bsky.socialKansas' error rate related to mistakes in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, has dropped a lot from 2023 (12% to 7.8%) but because of the way the reconciliation bill is set up, the state may face millions in penalties. kansasreflector.com/2026/08/12/k...
kansasreflector.comKansas lowers food assistance error rate but still may face federal penalties • Kansas ReflectorThe error rate in a Kansas food assistance program has dropped, but the state still faces the possibility of paying a $20.6 million penalty
@crazeywriter.bsky.socialLots of potential for this data, to understand effects not just on Kansans but hospitals as they treat patients without insurance.
