1+ day, 1+ hour ago (330+ words) TOPEKA " The Kansas attorney general is dropping his federal lawsuit that targeted health care for immigrants across the U.S. Kris Kobach announced Wednesday he voluntarily dismissed the lawsuit, but health care for certain immigrants was stripped away more than three months ago when President Donald Trump rescinded the Biden-era rule that offered health care plans to people who migrated to the U.S. as children. The roughly 10,000 immigrants in the United States under Deferred Action of Childhood Arrivals who purchased health insurance from the marketplace were removed from their plans by Oct. 1. An estimated 525,000 people are in the U.S. under DACA. Kobach initially filed the lawsuit involving 18 other states after the Biden administration adopted rules in November 2024 enabling DACA participants to enroll in public health insurance plans, which wasn't previously possible under the Affordable Care Act. Kobach argued in court against the policies, winning…...

1+ day, 2+ hour ago (448+ words) CONWAY SPRINGS, Kan. (KAKE)" Kansas farmers are reacting to a new federal aid package that will provide one-time payments to growers affected by this year's tariff-related market losses. The White House announced a 12 billion dollar relief program this week, saying the money will go to row-crop producers, including those who grow corn, cotton, soybeans and wheat. Talan Shinn says farming has felt especially strained this year. "You get a sense of accomplishment. You can see what you did every day. You feel like you're making a difference," Shinn said. "Nobody knows quite what they're gonna be getting yet. My initial reaction was well, I'll take the money. It'll pay some bills, but it's definitely not a solution." The USDA says farmers must have their 2025 acreage reports filed by Dec. 19 to qualify. Final payment rates for each crop are expected to…...

1+ day, 13+ hour ago (1620+ words) Every morning, thousands of people across Kansas City, Missouri, wake up and, within the first hour of their day, do something that calls for clean water. For many, it's reaching for a glass of water on the bedside table or brewing a pot of coffee or some tea. Others depend on it for a morning shower or teeth-brushing. Either way, the cleanliness of that water is thanks to the city's drinking water treatment facility, on the southern edge of the Briarcliff area. There, 76 people work around the clock, in rotating crews of 5 to 7, to deliver a safe, drinkable product through complex chemical treatment. "We are actually public health No.1," said KC Water operations manager Jarrek Lucke, one of the people who oversees the process. "Every day we're providing water that people are drinking and ingesting. We have to be at…...
