Democrats must step in where Republicans have proven they won't: addressing families’ daily needs so they can believe in the American Dream again. Affording groceries, becoming a homeowner or taking a vacation feels out of reach. It's time we fix that.

Investing in America creates good jobs, strong communities and a bright future. I'm thankful for companies like GE Appliances making that a priority.

My faith teaches me that food is life-giving and meant to be shared. From the miracle of fishes and loaves to the Last Supper, we are called to feed and care for each other – and I’m proud that we’ve made that a priority in Kentucky.
Gov. Andy Beshear announced that eligible Kentuckians should see SNAP benefits loaded on their cards as soon as today. Thanks to the quick work of Team Kentucky, the commonwealth was one of the first states to process full benefits.

Our President should be fighting hunger – not causing it – and his decisions around SNAP put too many American families at risk. In Kentucky, I’m making sure we’re doing everything possible to process SNAP benefits as quickly as possible so these families can put food on their tables.
Great news, Kentucky – we’ve finally received the go-ahead to fully fund SNAP benefits for Kentuckians who rely on this assistance. Once again, our team will work through the night tonight, with the hope our families can see those benefits hit cards tomorrow. 1/2

America is the home of the free because of the brave, and we must always remember, recognize and honor our selfless veterans. God bless these heroes and all those who serve our great country to protect our freedoms as Americans.

Despite the President’s attempts to do what no other President in history has ever done – withhold SNAP funding – the courts have ruled that blocking these funds was illegal and they must be fully funded.

No President in our history has withheld SNAP benefits during a federal shutdown until now. People going hungry in this instance is a choice President Trump has made.
And let me be very clear: It's the wrong choice.

The families of those lost from the devastating plane crash in Louisville are hurting. While the images may fade, the trauma will last for years. This is a loving community where we take care of each other. Right now, we're hurting - and Kentucky can use your prayers.
It's impossible to describe the devastation from yesterday's deadly plane crash. My heart is broken. My prayers are with all those affected, and I promise we will be there in the hours, days and weeks ahead. We will get through this together. We love you, Louisville.

As the incoming chair of @demgovs.org, I worked hard on tonight’s races in Virginia and New Jersey and I’m proud of what we accomplished. Sadly, my focus tonight is on my state of Kentucky where we’ve suffered a catastrophic plane crash that has taken the lives of at least 7. 1/2

Hunger impacts red states and blue, Mr. President. We're elected to serve every American, and politics should never get in the way of that.

This morning, I'm thinking of our food banks and all the amazing people across our country who are stepping up to help their neighbors during these challenging times. To everyone lending a hand and making a difference: Thank you.

Trump's tariffs are hurting the industries he claims he's trying to help. Their harmful impacts are already being felt here in Kentucky and across the nation. You don't have to just believe me, Republican Sens. Mitch McConnell and Rand Paul agree.

A President threatening to jail a sitting Governor is unacceptable and is the opposite of what this country stands for and was founded on. I stand with Gov. Pritzker and for the rights of each state across our great nation.

We're already seeing the impact of Trump's tariffs and the "big, ugly bill" in Kentucky. From a birthing center not opening to a company laying off hundreds of workers, the pain is real and Kentuckians deserve better.

Americans should always be safe and feel safe, especially in their houses of worship. My heart breaks for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Michigan. Violent, senseless acts like this must end. My prayers are with this faith community and all those affected.

My faith teaches me that you love your neighbor as yourself – no asterisks, no exceptions. That stands even if we disagree. No leader should take pride in having hate for their opponents. Hate leads us nowhere. It has no place in our country, in our society or in our politics.
