Brief: Farmers on Trade, VP to KC, Beetle Traps Attract More Beetles

“Because we have become so tribal in our politics in this country, the one thing that we’re going to have to do is have the farming community — because they support Donald Trump in a very, very powerful way — to call Washington and say to the president … they are not happy with the direction that he’s taking this country as it relates to the tariffs.”

Mike Pence will visit Kansas City next week to campaign for Representative Kevin Yoder.

NY Times wrote a flattering profile on Kansas City’s streetcar.

Step off the KC Streetcar (as it is officially known) and look around as if you don’t know where you are going and a passer-by will stop and ask where you’re trying to get to. Sport that expression while you’re still riding it and someone sitting across the aisle from you will do the same thing. Ask them how they like the streetcar and they will tell you, sincerely and in a fair bit of detail. And they do like it. They ride it. The city — which has a population just under a half-million — projected one million riders in the streetcar’s first year; it got twice as many by day 364. A year later that figure exceeded four million.

The Villages says it’s grateful for the support but has no more room for items.

Kansas Capitol Police sing James Brown’s “Living in America.”
