I was 11 and had at least a decade of nightmares thanks to “The Day After.”
Tonight in 1983, more than 100 million Americans saw multiple thermonuclear weapons destroy Kansas City, Missouri, in “The Day After” on ABC. A.C. Nielsen Company reported that 62 percent of television sets that night were tuned to the film. I watched in my packed college dorm lounge. How about you?

President Trump said on the campaign trail that he had ‘concepts of a plan’ to make health care affordable.
More than a year later… we’re still waiting for it.

Caving on a deal that doesn’t fix health care is, and always has been, a giant betrayal of the American people.
Hold the line. Save health care. I’m a NO on anything that doesn’t extend ACA subsidies.

Governor Jim Edgar was one of the first politicians I remember hearing about at my grandparents’ Sunday dinner table. Many years later he left positive, meaningful impressions with me every single time I was fortunate enough to hear from him.
Cox Creek Hill Prairie at Jim Edgar Panther Creek is home to stunning native plants like little bluestem, wild petunia & prairie dock. Rare finds include the endangered small white lady’s-slipper orchid. Also: keep an eye out for the Ornate Box Turtle!
