Leaders should always keep their promises to the American people.
The President hasn't.

Andy Beshear @andybeshearky.bsky.social · 5d

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.

When your teenager wants to hang with you, always say yes. It goes by too fast!

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.

A threat to our judicial system is a threat to our country. The rule of law is one of the reasons our country has remained strong and successful, and I pray it remains that way for the American people.

Science should be based in science – not politics. Anything else is dangerous. Folks, please talk to your doctor. Trust the experts and do what's right for you and your family.

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.

Freedom of speech is protected by the FIRST Amendment – that means it's pretty darn important.

Folks, make sure to take care of yourself. Take a breath, hug your kids, and put the phones down. And remember, kindness and love go further than hate and division.

I strongly condemn the senseless attack on Charlie Kirk today. Political violence has no place in the United States of America. It further tears our country apart and sets us back versus moving us forward. Violence is always wrong. Period.

We should be fighting to save lives, not risk them, and these cuts are wrong and dangerous. 2/2

In Kentucky, women and families already face challenges when it comes to maternal care. President Trump's cuts to Medicaid – which covers nearly half of all births in our state – will make these services even harder to access. 1/2

Labor unions helped build this country, and their work continues today to deliver fairness, freedom and security for Americans. Thank you to our hardworking union leaders— I’ll always stand with you. Happy Labor Day.

I don't know about you, but I'm tired of politics impacting things that should be nonpartisan issues. Helping families afford rent, access health care or keep their kids safe should be the focus of every leader – regardless of party – and that's exactly where my focus remains.

American children should be safe and feel safe in their schools, yet today our country faces more heartbreak as we learn of another school shooting, this time in Minneapolis. Britainy and I are praying for the families, students and teachers affected. 1/2

If we look at the world through the eyes of our children, we'd see that we're all not so different and there is a lot more love than hate. Let's keep holding onto that hope for a better tomorrow for your kids and mine.

The Kentucky State Capitol will always hold a special place in my heart. I am thankful the work being done now will ensure generations of Kentuckians will have that same opportunity.

Governor Andy Beshear @govandybeshear.bsky.social · Aug 22

Generations of Kentuckians share something special: a story of their time in our State Capitol. As we close the door on this Kentucky landmark for renovation work, we're sharing some of our favorite memories – and we hope you will too.
