Ford’s third-largest investment in KY history and GE Appliances is trusting 1,600 engineers to lead advanced manufacturing into the future.

As Gov. Beshear puts it, this is proof that by doing the right thing, we're lifting our people up.

This is a direct attack on our democracy. Shame on the KY GOP for supporting this assault on our constitutional rights.

We need a president who listens to the American people, not foreign dictators.
