Prayers for Pope Francis.

Canada is a key part of Kansas City’s success in trade and economic development. I was honored to break bread recently with Winnipeg Mayor Scott Gillingham. I look forward to visiting Winnipeg and supporting the strong relationship of our cities and countries. 🇨🇦🇺🇸

Loved my time speaking on upcoming priorities for Kansas City’s East Side at Councilwoman Melissa Robinson’s State of the Third District. Feeling inspired by the great community turnout as we build an even stronger urban core.

Good morning! Heading back to where it all started this morning at the State of the Third City Council District (East Kansas City) Convening. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.

Interesting. Welcome to local coverage of Kansas City, @axios.com boards.greenhouse.io/axios/jobs/6...

I had a great afternoon with the Kansas City Royals players, leadership, and fans. I am grateful for the strong connection with our city, the team, Surprise, and all who love baseball. A solid win today too!

Spending time today meeting with other American mayors (before baseball) and speaking with new White House staff to ensure we protect our community. Connecting with Canada’s mayors too, who helped emphasize their vital trade with our region.

Kansas City is proud to have thousands of outstanding federal workers here. We’d be honored if you considered staying in public service if you’ve experienced a recent, sudden separation. Check opportunities at CivicMatch.org. Thank you for your service to our country.

He won’t be.

I look forward to visiting today with the Kansas City Royals at Spring Training in Surprise, Arizona. Let’s go Royals!

It’s way too early for 2028 Presidential endorsements, but today I learned Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro was born in Kansas City, Missouri. That’s a huge percentage of what I need to hear.

No creative takes here. No wit. But, Mizzou basketball is looking its strongest in years. Exceptional win last night. Coach Gates is doing some great things in COMO.

There never needs to be a text message longer than three paragraphs.

Prayer is indeed powerful. It was an honor to spend time and speak with mayors and hundreds of guests from throughout our region for the 64th Annual Mayors’ Prayer Breakfast.

There are many painful parts of transitions, but one of the lighter parts is that you now connect with people who were super powerful in the world a month ago on their Yahoo, AOL (!), and Gmail accounts... We're all just people trying to remember our passwords after all.

Kansas City’s current total US government grants total $360M. That support helps train workers, repairs crumbling infrastructure, provides healthcare to veterans and seniors. We will continue the work to protect investment in our community to build the best city in America.

Good day to you, Kansas Citians, surroundians, and all! Hitting the radio this cold Monday morning. Tune in. If you have any questions, you can ask them here or there.

Cuts by Elon Musk continue to devastate American communities like Kansas City. Ivanhoe recently had funding eliminated that supports urban food production, backyard gardeners, local growers, an inner city farmer’s market, and resources to provide healthy food to young mothers.

Done! Thank you. My proposal: save the millions we spend each year to duplicate IT, HR, and facilities services for the Kansas City Board of Police Commissioners (with no apparent safety benefit) by abolishing the Board and returning local control to Kansas City.

Missouri punches above its weight in having outstanding scholars researching and producing life saving cures. I encourage all in our federal delegation work to ensure Missouri orgs can keep employing those who do vital work to save lives in our country and around the world.

Since I started as mayor, I’m proud Kansas City government has helped produce 4,400+ units of affordable housing. More efforts will be supported by: ➡️ Fast-tracking permitting for affordable housing; ➡️ Activating land bank lots; We can get to 27,000 new units of housing!

Pretreating of roads is coming your way.

In-A-Tub. Comfort food for the day after.

Good morning, Kansas City and the surrounds! It’s about to snow again.

We celebrate and we grieve with class in Kansas City. Be kind to your neighbors, your servers, and everyone in our community. It’s a great time to be in Kansas City. Let’s make tonight’s story about how, like the Chiefs, we’ll pick right up ready to be the best tomorrow.

Forever proud of our Kansas City Chiefs who remain the team of the 2020s. Congratulations tonight though to the Philadelphia Eagles on their victory. Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker, we have some exceptional Kansas City barbecue heading your way.

In Spags we trust.

Let’s go!!!!!

The preparation and hospitality of the City of New Orleans has been outstanding. My thanks to my friend, Mayor Cantrell, the women and men of the New Orleans Police Department, and the great people of the City of New Orleans. Big cities do big things. The Big Easy is among the best.

Our annual Super Bowl Weekend puts Kansas City on the global stage. Connected w/leaders in business, government, and culture, from talking FIFA World Cup 2026 with Gianni Infantino to appropriations with congress members and more. The best time though is connecting with Chiefs fans!

Anybody got good sports follows over here on @bsky.app ? Trying to spend more time here, but reading terrible NFL takes are a big part of my social media consumption. I welcome your thoughts.

Yesterday, I was honored to deliver my sixth State of the City Address, which has for most of my term also served as a Super Bowl pregame address. I provide a link to my full remarks below, but want to thank the workers who keep our city moving! www.facebook.com/share/p/17wE...

Good morning, Kansas City and surrounds!

Passenger rail through our community is not just our past, but also our future. Honored to visit with Amtrak today to discuss better service to connect Missourians and ultimately building out a commuter system for KC that connects you from Lee’s Summit to Topeka and north and south!

“Kansas City would be a great city for the WNBA.” We agree, Caitlin Clark. We agree.

Since its founding, Kansas City’s growth has centered on its location in the heart of North America as a focal point for north-south trade for industries and consumers across the US, Canada, and Mexico. North American trade continues to employ thousands in our community.
