Kansas gop...
TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) As most of the U.S. raced to get ahead of the coronavirus pandemic, conservative Republican lawmakers in Kansas moved Wednesday to limit their Democratic governors emergency powers, including the ability to establish quarantine zones if the need arises.
Conservatives are angry with Gov. Laura Kelly's order to close all of the state's K-12 school buildings for the rest of the spring semester. They view it both as an overreaction that is fueling panic and a sign that she's willing to have state government move aggressively into people's businesses and lives.
Some of her most conservative critics also suggested that Kelly's bold action on the coronavirus suggests that she might go after firearms and try to limit their sale. She's never mentioned that she was considering anything like that and despite her past support for gun-rights measures as a legislator.

Sharice Davids to the House, so we do seem to be turning a corner. Meanwhile, many moderate Republicans have switched parties and are now Democrats, which could make a difference in November.
The state is moving in the direction of purple--because of that idiot Sam Brownback.
