On our latest episode, @kcur's @Ptsbrian explores why relationships across political lines feel harder than ever.
When political stances start to signal our moral and ethical beliefs, disagreement can feel personal.

Hot take: If third base coach Vance Wilson doesnât get himself ejected earlier, Hampton scores there to tie the game. #Royals

In Missouri, a week after polls showed bipartisan support for an abortion rights measure, legal efforts to pull it off the ballot reach their zenithâincluding by the very official who certified it as ballot-ready. missouriindependent.com/2024⌠#moleg

Thatâs a win for sure, but so was @goldbergkcâs investigative reporting during the game about the wing-flapping celebrations directed at the Royalsâ bullpen catcherâŚ

#Royals win 6-1, tie the Guardians for first place, marking only the second day theyâve been in first this season.
Paul DeJong HR but the story was the bullpen. Michael Lorenzen left in the second w/a hamstring injury.
