Mark Kelly is a hero and a patriot. His reminder that no service member should be compelled to obey an unlawful order is neither controversial nor seditious.

I’m taking the word of a Navy Veteran and NASA astronaut over Donald Trump and TV Host Pete Hegseth every day of the week.

Mitch McConnell was elected to the Senate when I was 2 weeks old. So glad his time in office is almost over.

This is disgusting. A complete disgrace.

It really is a damn shame that we still don’t have universal healthcare in the United States of America.

We need Medicare for All.

ICE really does need to be abolished.

I will never cross a picket line.

The workers at Starbucks are demanding to be treated fairly, and I proudly stand in solidarity with them. I definitely won’t be spending money at a place that refuses to address unfair labor practices.

No contract, no coffee.

There are many things I strongly disagree with Rand Paul on. Hell, I ran against him. That said, he is right to push back on Mitch McConnell’s effort to ban hemp products. It would crush farmers and small businesses in Kentucky and across the country. We should all stand and oppose it.

There is nothing pro-life about protecting child predators.

Release the Epstein files.
November 14, 2025 at 12:11 AM
The Epstein discharge petition now has 218 signatures. Bring on the full vote.

Release the files!

Rep-elect Adelita Grijalva is set to be sworn into Congress today. She is ready to sign the discharge petition.

Release the Epstein files.

I rationed my insulin to afford food for my daughters. Watching these out of touch politicians treat food and healthcare like bargaining chips is sickening.

We deserve better.

This morning, I am thinking about the veterans who courageously served our country, but now live on the streets. The veterans on SNAP and Medicaid who are scrapping to survive. Those suffering deep pain and trauma, but don’t get the help they need.

Instead of just trying to make premiums more affordable, let’s get rid of them.

Medicare for All.

Good morning to everyone who believes in humanity and marriage equality.

Love still wins.

Agreeing to let millions of Americans lose healthcare isn’t compromise, it’s capitulation.
November 10, 2025 at 2:19 AM
Chances are, you or someone you know needs SNAP to have enough food to survive. Just remember: Trump is fighting tooth and nail to make sure they can’t get it.
November 8, 2025 at 4:21 PM
UPDATE: The news of relief is short lived, as Trump is now appealing to the Supreme Court to block the order requiring his administration to follow the law and fund SNAP. The lengths they are going to leave Americans hungry is wild. Absolutely heinous.
November 8, 2025 at 12:51 AM
Good news, family! The USDA has confirmed that SNAP benefits will be fully funded for November. This came after a federal judge rejected the Trump admin’s plan to offer partial funds for food aid. Food should never be a negotiating tool, and I am glad to see the USDA work to comply with court order.

This is the longest government shutdown in U.S. history.
November 7, 2025 at 3:47 PM
Hey Kentucky, I heard a lot of you tried to get out to vote yesterday. Although we don’t have elections yet, I understand how you feel. We are determined and fired up for the change we need to see, and we know it can’t wait.

If you’re already inspired to vote, keep that energy. 2026 will be big.
November 5, 2025 at 5:40 PM
My heart is so heavy tonight. We now know at least 7 lives were lost due to this horrific plane crash. This is an absolute tragedy.
November 5, 2025 at 3:41 AM
Praying.
November 4, 2025 at 11:20 PM
Family, we knew this would happen. There can be no surprise that a lawless president would refuse to follow the law. Donald announced today that he will defy the courts and refuse to pay SNAP benefits during the government shutdown.

This is cruel. This is criminal.
November 4, 2025 at 6:21 PM
Fired up to see Zohran Mamdani win the NYC mayoral race tomorrow.
November 3, 2025 at 11:38 PM
To everyone working to look out for our neighbors in this time of instability and uncertainty, I thank you.

To everyone daring to show love and kindness instead of giving in to hate and division, I thank you.

You all are the light in dark times. 🙏🏾
