We start with breaking news around Kansas’ gender-affirming care ban for minors. Many local families, like the one of a Kansas teen named Bri, now face tough choices as their access to medication changes overnight. Pharmacies have already stopped filling certain prescriptions, with families considering long drives to Colorado just for care. The tension was on full display at a recent protest in downtown Wichita, showing just how deeply this new law is affecting our neighbors and sparking conversations about rights and identity across the metro.
Turning to public safety, we’re relieved to report that the two missing 17-year-old girls from Kansas City, Missouri, were found safe last night. Police also successfully reunited a ten-year-old girl with her parents yesterday, a bright spot in an otherwise challenging week. On the other side, detectives are still searching for a Mercedes-Benz involved in a recent fatal crash. If you have any information, authorities urge you to reach out.
Weather is definitely shaping our day today. After a run of storms, we’re looking at sunny skies and high temperatures right around 91 degrees. If you’re headed out, hydrate and grab some shade. Rain may return by the weekend, so if you’ve got outdoor plans, keep an eye on changing conditions.
Real estate is in the spotlight as Kansas City’s affordable housing crisis continues.

In business news, Comcast has completed a major broadband rollout in Miami County, Kansas, expanding high-speed internet to more rural communities. Meanwhile, the kitchen at Overland Park Christian Church remains closed due to fire safety issues, pausing several nonprofit food programs and sparking a community fundraising push to get things cooking again.
On the culture beat, Hot Country Nights is back in the Power and Light District tonight, expected to draw big crowds for live music and dancing under the lights. If you’re hungry for more, Lawrence’s new partnership between Growing Food Growing Health and the Ballard Center is making fresh produce more accessible than ever—just in time for summer barbecues.
Sports fans, our Lady Bombers softball team took home second place at the USA Softball Beach Blast last weekend—a huge achievement.
