Couldn't agree more! 👏

Federal workers in Kentucky didn't cause this shutdown, but Trump wants to punish them anyway by withholding back pay. These are people with mortgages, car payments, and families to feed.

White House memo says furloughed workers might not get back pay

Trump is using the threat of federal workforce cuts to force them to back the GOP’s clean continuing resolution.

Trump is sending troops into American cities and voters are rejecting it. This isn't what public safety looks like in a democracy.

Rep. Hal Rogers claims Democrats want free healthcare for immigrants. That's a lie. Democrats are fighting to stop premium spikes that will force thousands of Kentuckians off their health insurance.

Hal Rogers is lying while his constituents lose coverage.

Price spikes set to leave thousands of Kentuckians without health insurance, advocates say • Kentucky Lantern

As GOP says Democrats want "free health care for illegal clients," advocates warn thousands of U.S. citizens in Kentucky could lose health insurance.

This Breast Cancer Awareness Month, remember that no woman should skip a mammogram because of the cost.

Americans have spoken. They don't want troops patrolling their streets. Trump's authoritarian power grab is being rejected by voters across the country.

Kentucky is one of only a handful of states investing in childhood cancer research. Since 2015, we’ve put $36.5 million into the Pediatric Cancer Research Trust Fund and First Lady Britainy Beshear just announced even more funding for families and researchers.

Kentucky remains one of handful of states investing in childhood cancer research

Kentucky is one of only a handful of states that invests in childhood cancer research, and doctors say that money is doing wonders when it comes to saving the lives of their smallest patients.

Protecting Kentucky means protecting the integrity of science and medicine. Thank you, Gov. Beshear, for never wavering on what matters most.

Andy Beshear @andybeshearky.bsky.social · 11d

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.

Job cuts in Kentucky are 31% higher under Trump than they were last year. The biggest casualties nationwide? Small businesses.

Nobody voted for this.

Our county parties are incredible.

From registering new voters at local festivals to organizing monthly meetings, they're bringing communities together and strengthening democracy across Kentucky.

Trump's shutdown hides disastrous jobs numbers, with no jobs report released this morning while his administration violates the Hatch Act on official government sites.

The economy is tanking and they know it.

Gov. @andybeshearky.bsky.social is speaking the truth.

200,000 Kentuckians are going to be kicked off their health care coverage because of Republican cuts in the big, ugly bill.

Hey KY GOP,

Y'all claim to care about veterans. So what's your plan for the hardworking veterans in the federal government Trump is laying off because you care more about cozying up to him than the people who served our country?

Thank you for standing in solidarity with our federal workers, Congressman Morgan McGarvey.

As air traffic controllers, our troops, and millions of other federal employees go without pay during this government shutdown, I won't be accepting my paycheck.

Republicans need come back to DC and open the government up.

🚨 NEW TARIFF ALERT 🚨 The Trump Tax gets even higher today. His latest targets? Furniture and medications.

Meanwhile, Kentucky farmers and distillers are desperate for relief. Instead of listening, he is doubling down on his senseless, costly chaos.
