My one reflection on the Bill Belichick news: The man who beat him in Super Bowl LII lost his job today.
Not excusing the Eagles' post-Super Bowl decline, but I'm one of a handful of Eagles fans who is thankful enough for 2017/2018 that I still like Doug as a dude.
The fact that I spent a couple years living on the West Coast and then the Midwest probably softened me a bit compared to most Philadelphians.
Maybe not. I’m not the only Doug defender.

Hey @MattLaslo, looks Hawley found someone whose questions he was willing to take this week.
.@HawleyMO's team has repeatedly ignored requests for comment since Wednesday as his political mentor and donors disavow him and his colleagues call for his resignation. But he's happy to go on Tucker.
Tucker's analysis that publishers rather than lawmakers are the guardians of the First Amendment also may set some First Amendment lawyers' heads to spin. Publishers are protected by the First Amendment. It doesn't require them to publish a senator's words.

.@GovParsonMO (R) was asked about the widespread calls for one of the state's two senators to resign. He changed the subject back to his inauguration: “This is a special day for me and for my family. It’s a special day for our state" kansascity.com/news/politics-… #moleg
This is a day after "Resign Hawley" was written in the street in St. Louis.
This is giving me flashbacks to when Brownback’s staff told me I ruined his second Inauguration Day in 2015 by asking about the federal probe of his lieutenant governor (never resulted in charges). @APjdhanna ruined Kansas Day a few days later by doing the same thing.

KC area Dems @repcleaver and @RepDavids both signed on as co-sponsors to impeachment resolution. Cleaver told me last week that "if it comes to the floor, I’ll push my card down as hard as I can push it" kansascity.com/news/politics-…
Waiting on more R's from the region to issue statements. Wichita's @RepRonEstes confirmed he opposes. Estes says he supports a full investigation of what happened Jan. 6, but contends "impeachment will only sow more division and chaos in an already precarious situation"
Will be posting a story when I get more members' statements, but for KS & MO the vote breakdown is likely to look similar to the previous impeachment vote-- with D's from KC & STL voting yes and R's voting no.

It's been less than a week since Confederate-clad rioters stormed the U.S. Capitol after weeks of conspiracy-mongering by the president and his allies about plurality Black cities. Missouri's Black leaders on what this moment means kansascity.com/news/politics-…
It's worth remembering that in the days leading up to the bloody Capitol siege the president's son spent days verbally attacking a Black minister who is a member of Congress kansascity.com/news/local/new…
.@repcleaver and other lawmakers sheltered in place as the pro-Trump mob ransacked the building. Here's his description of that experience. kansascity.com/news/politics-…

Hawley’s first day in Senate he refused to take questions from @lindsaywise, @craasch or myself, the three reporters writing for his constituents. A few days later, he told me he wouldn’t play “hallway roulette” when I asked about furloughed fed workers google.com/amp/s/amp.kans…
A lot of reporters in DC covered him past two years as the next big thing and only viewed things through the lens of whether it would help propel him forward, but both @KCStar & @stltoday covered him with a more skeptical eye about what these moves meant for MO’s biggest cities.
Sometimes it meant a loss of access. Hawley was one of the only lawmakers from the region who wouldn’t do a phone interview with me throughout the pandemic. Other lawmakers from the region—Blunt, Cleaver, Davids, Moran, Roberts, Davids, Marshall— called regularly.

.@KCStar has been closely following @HawleyMO, now a national figure, for years going back to his days as Missouri AG. Here are some examples. Starting with this one from @lindsaywise, @J_Hancock and @SteveVockrodt during the 2018 race. kansascity.com/news/politics-…
During the campaign, Hawley tied human trafficking to the sexual revolution of the 1960s kansascity.com/news/local/new…
Even after Hawley left for the Senate, reporters in KC and Jeff City continued to lock into how he ran the attorney general's office kansascity.com/news/politics-…
