The secret to opening the economy is implementing the life saving strategies called for by epidemiologists, aerosol scientists, infection control specialists, MDs, behavioral specialists, etc. That he doesn't recognize this shows his unfitness. And he's an MD?

If the hypocritic oath says "do no harm" how, by downplaying the virus's seriousness, dismissing science-based strategies, & sharing disinformation, is he not in violation of his oath? How is he not betraying his fellow medical professionals dying on the "front lines"? 2/ #kssen
Leaders & politicians like Marshall, who use the virus to further hyper-partisan division for their own advantage, putting our health/safety, education, & the economy at further risk contribute to my limited optimism about the school year. 3/

an old saw from Mike Parson’s campaign:
random rural yard signs to
applaud Mike’s designs to
continue his post-Greitens reign.
In this specimen Parson would take in
uninformed voters in County Macon. 1/2 🔥 #mogov 🗳️

as school districts may soon sink, not swim
in each piteous scene
of a mass quarantine as
new cases exceed counties’ brim.
Yet the venue’s the same:
still in Macon. Why no
mask mandate? Parson’s mistaken.

National Guard, unlike Mike,
at this moment works hard
citizens to protect.
Parson’s lies we reject,
evidenced by his COVID scorecard.
Folks still ask: why no #MaskUp
mandate? Parson’s post outweighs
the #ShowMe State.

It’s the weekend, but my opponent Roger Marshall has had a really tough week. Here’s a thread to recap. #KSSen

It all started when he released a deceptive, manipulated video of me, and many called him out for his brazen lies: kansasreflector.com/2020/09/09/mar…
Journalists have labeled it “highly misleading.”
insideelections.com/news/article/m…
Then a super PAC aligned with Mitch McConnell announced it’s spending $5.2 million to prop Roger Marshall up.

Special interest and super PAC money carried him through the primary, and they’re clearly trying to do the same thing in the general election:

New - McConnell told me battle for the Senate is a “50-50 situation.” He’s gotten Trump to give a boost to Gardner and Daines and to quietly help Marshall in #kssen primary.
And he’s told colleagues today’s stimulus vote is crucial for members “in danger” cnn.com/2020/09/10/pol…
Asked if he thinks Trump is a net positive for Senate Republican candidates on the ticket, McConnell would only say: "We'll find out. That's something that we'll only know the day after the election."
Roger Marshall was the subject of attack ads from Club for Growth, so McConnell made a suggestion to Trump: Ask the group to end that ad campaign. So Trump put the group’s president on speakerphone in the Oval Office and told him to "Stop carving up" Marshall. The Club stopped

It’s time for a #MedicareForAll thread! We have an atrocious system that is far and away the most expensive in the world with some of the worst outcomes, middle of the road wait times. We can do better. #kssen #ksleg #M4A 1/
Current #healthcare:
1.Burdens businesses
2. Too expensive and economically wasteful
3. Has worse outcomes than other nations
4. Limits individual Freedoms

#healthcare expenditures are a drag on business. Healthcare costs have outpaced the growth of the economy & businesses pay more. Reducing our healthcare expenditures & ending employer-provided plans will allow American businesses to be more competitive internationally. 3/

New - Trump on AF1 yesterday indicated to his associates he would NOT intervene in #kssen primary, per sources, despite push to get him to tilt the scales away from Kobach. Cruz noted that Marshall - a favorite of establishment - backed Kasich. w/@arogDC cnn.com/2020/07/30/pol…
Pat Roberts told me this was the first time that he has endorsed in a Republican primary. "I think the stakes are so high that it was the thing to do," said Roberts. He said "well, yeah" it would be helpful for the President to endorse Marshall but did not think Trump would do so
Source said that Cruz chimed in during the conversation, reminding Trump that Marshall had initially supported then-Ohio Gov. John Kasich in the 2016 presidential race. Trump responded that he would not weigh in on Kansas' Senate primary. Cruz declined to comment today

Republican Socialism: for Republicans who distrust big business as much as big government! #kssen #ksleg 1/
Small town and rural communitarian values are closer to socialism than those of big business Republicans. We take care of each other and value people over things. 2/
Ironically, the value of contentment and relationships over being acquisitive are taken advantage of by greedy businesses because "those unions & socialists are never content, always demanding more!" 3/

The progressive Left is licking its chops, hoping that Republicans in the Senate will “pass something” on gun control, as McConnell has said they’ll do. The Left will repeat several lies when that debate starts. Here’s the truth: #ksleg #2A #kssen
Lie 1: Unlike other countries, America is plagued by mass shootings. This is a false premise that assumes that because gun ownership is higher in the USA than other countries, the incidence of mass shootings is too. #ksleg #2A
The truth: America ranks 67th of 97 countries in mass shootings per capita--a long way behind countries where the possession of firearms is uncommon. #ksleg #2A #ussenate

On record comment from @NRSC spokeswoman on Kobach: “Just last year Kris Kobach ran and lost to a Democrat. Now, he wants to do the same and simultaneously put President Trump’s presidency and Senate Majority at risk." kansascity.com/news/politics-… #ksleg #kssen
I'm a little overstuffed with quotes from Republicans criticizing Kobach as a candidate, but Sam Brownback's former chief of staff David Kensinger sent me this one about his fellow Kansas Republican: "L-O-S-E-R." #ksleg #kssen
Kensinger's antipathy toward Kobach post-2018 is well-documented kansascity.com/news/politics-…
