SUMMARY: Democrats hosted a town hall in Congresswoman Ann Wagner’s district as part of their effort to reclaim Congress in next year’s midterms. Senator Chris Murphy addressed a crowd of over 1,000, criticizing Wagner and the Trump administration. Although billed as a people’s town hall, the event resembled a political rally led by Democratic activists. Voters voiced concerns about immigration policies and inflation. Wagner, attending Pope Francis’s funeral with a congressional delegation, dismissed the event as a “contrived Democrat spectacle” in a statement. Democrats have yet to announce a candidate to challenge Wagner.  

Hundreds of voters were at the town hall to express disapproval of the Trump Administration and call on Congresswoman Ann Wagner, R-Mo., to host a town hall in her district. She is currently travelling to Rome as part of a bipartisan delegation attending the funeral of Pope Francis.

SUMMARY: A true crime podcast, *Morbid*, revisits the unsolved 1981 killing of Ken McElroy in Skidmore, Missouri. Known as “the town bully,” McElroy was accused of numerous crimes but avoided conviction through intimidation. On July 10, 1981, he was shot in broad daylight in front of around 50 people, yet no one came forward. The community, fed up with his reign of terror, allegedly took justice into their own hands. Despite FBI involvement, the case closed without indictments. Over 40 years later, with many witnesses deceased, the murder remains unsolved, and locals continue to keep the secret.

SUMMARY: Kansas City has yet to hit 90°F this year, though summer’s heat and humidity are building. A very moist atmosphere will fuel possible storms Tuesday into Wednesday, with flooding downpours the main concern. Models show varying rainfall totals and locations, with uncertainty about where storms will hit hardest. Severe storms are more likely late Tuesday night into early Wednesday, but flooding poses the greatest risk due to moisture-rich conditions and possible training storms. There’s also a chance for strong “wake low” winds Tuesday. The first 90° day could arrive later this week or weekend as the pattern shifts.
