Up To Date · NYT: Kansas' Roger Marshall sued more than 700 of his patients before becoming a U.S. senator · 8 Sep 2026 podcast
Just to elaborate on what you just said, you point out in the story that w when it comes to some of these unpaid bills, the paychecks of some patients were garnished and uh the result was an eighteen percent interest rate fee attached to the unpaid balance. voice-verified

Kansas City Today · KCKPS gender identity policies under fire by Trump administration · 3 Sep 2026 podcast
This dispute has been going on for months, Jody, but now the Justice Department has taken the unusual step of suing the KCK schools.
What changed here and why did this escalate to a federal lawsuit?
OK, well, a big point of disagreement seems to be over what the transgender student guidelines are actually defined as and whether they were ever formally adopted as district policy.
What do you know about that part of this?
Well, the DOG says that these policies violate FERPA and the Protection of People Rights Amendment.
For people who aren't familiar with those laws, what do they require and what does the federal government believe that KCKPS did that violated these laws?
You know, the district is saying, as I mentioned earlier, that it's in full compliance with federal law.
So how does that argument square with what the DOJ is laying out in its complaint?
This is hardly the first lawsuit in Kansas over transgender policies in a school district.
Shawnee Mission Olathe and Topeka are facing similar federal scrutiny.
So how does this KCKPS lawsuit fit into this broader fight between the federal government and Kansas school districts, Jody?
Now, there's been talk the district could face losing more than $70 million in federal funding.
Just briefly, Jodi, now that the suit's been filed, what are the potential consequences for the district?
Kansas City Today · Plaza vs. Royals: How do Kansas City's latest deals compare? · 1 Sep 2026 podcast
