DHS is issuing subpoenas to ask for the names & contact info for the social media accounts criticizing ICE.

This is a complete violation of your rights. The First Amendment doesn’t have an asterisk that says “unless you criticize the government.”

So remember when Donald Trump promised he’d “bring down the cost of everything”? According to Kentucky data that promise was more campaign slogan than reality.

Congress continues to increase funding for ICE while millions of Americans struggle to afford basic needs like food, health care & housing.
Its worth asking whether these priorities truly serve the American people.

A rural community is losing access to critical care.

Moving a birthing center farther away puts moms and babies at risk and adds stress at the most vulnerable moment of their lives.

Kentucky families deserve better.

Kentucky is supposed to be the bourbon capital of the world but our iconic bourbon industry is dealing with shrinking demand, production pauses, and tariff headaches.

I had a great time at the Campbell County Young Dems bowling night. Lots of laughs and even better conversations. These are the folks who show up, roll up their sleeves, and believe in building a Kentucky that works for everyone. I’m proud to stand with this next generation of leaders.

This shouldn't be a partisan issue. Powerful people, on an international scale, who have allegedly committed heinous crimes, are being protected by Pam Bondi and the D.O.J.

Since when are we a nation that protects pedophiles? The victims of Jeffrey Epstein and his network deserve justice.

The singular legislative accomplishment Trump and Republicans achieved with all that power was a law that cuts taxes for billionaires, slashes health care for working Americans, AND blows up the deficit.

Proud of the students who are peacefully exercising their right to speak up for what they believe in. That takes courage & conviction. And grateful to the administrators & staff who worked to keep students safe and supported. This is what democracy looks like in action.

I’m honored to have the support of two leaders who have spent their lives serving Kentucky and standing up for working families. Thank you to former Covington Mayor Joe Meyer and former State Representative Buddy Wheatley for believing in this campaign and in what Kentucky can be.

Tariffs hurt businesses, hurt Kentucky, and hit the wallets of working families. And it's only going to only get worse.

The SAVE Act isn’t about election integrity. It’s about making it harder for eligible Americans to vote. Citizenship is already required. This bill would force people to jump through unnecessary hoops and could block millions from the ballot box. That’s not democracy.

Kentuckians don’t wake up worried about culture-war acronyms. They wake up worried about bills, jobs and health care. Let’s talk about that.

Trump made a racist post about the Obamas and it tells you everything you need to know.

This isn’t leadership. It’s insecurity, cruelty, and the same tired playbook of division he’s used for years. America deserves better than someone who tears people down instead of lifting this country up.
February 7, 2026 at 1:17 AM
The racist post from our president is embarrassing and offensive. It's also a distraction from the Epstein files, his failure to make life more affordable for Americans and his failures to fix a healthcare system that is terrible for so many. Don't we deserve better than this?

Some of you may know that Nancy Guthrie is from Kentucky. In fact, we both attended Notre Dame Academy. I’ve been following this story and feel so deeply for the Guthrie family. My family and I are sending our prayers and hoping for a safe return home soon for Nancy.

This one means a great deal to me. Former KY Governor Paul Patton’s leadership helped expand access to higher education & workforce training, opening doors for generations of Kentuckians, especially in Eastern KY. I am deeply grateful for his support & honored to carry forward his legacy of service.

These are your elected officials who voted to continue funding DHS. They see no problem with the federal government trampling your First, Second, and Fourth Amendment rights, detaining Americans without due process, and gunning down citizens in the streets. Take note.

I’m honored to receive the endorsement of Marcus Flowers and Hold the Line PAC. I’m grateful for Marcus’s leadership and for the veterans who continue to stand up for our democracy. Those who have served know what real leadership looks like & I will always fight to uphold those values for Kentucky.

When the federal government oversteps, too many elected officials pretend not to notice.

I notice. That’s why I’m calling for this Accountability Standard.

In just the last week, this administration has:
Trampled the 1st Amendment.
Undermined the 2nd.
Violated the 4th.
And ignored the 14th.
This is Trump’s America.
