The Marion County Democrats hosted our third annual Democracy Dinner tonight, and it was a smash success! More ticket sales, more attendees, more funds raised - and importantly, we also raised about $1200 for local food banks.
Keeping people alive til we can elect enough Democrats to fix things.

Members of Team Kentucky worked through the night to process the partial SNAP benefits released by the federal administration. Here in Kentucky, we want to fight hunger, and we're doing everything we can to help our neighbors who rely on this program.

Known as the Battle of Blair Mountain, this was the largest labor uprising in US history and the largest armed uprising since the Civil War. For a month, 10,000 coal miners confronted some 3,000 company guards, state soldiers, and strikebreakers. Nearly a million rounds were shot.

A reminder that facts are stubborn things. Appalachian Power is lowering rates in their VA subsidiary because of renewable-driven savings and raising rates in WV because of mandates to burn coal. wvpublic.org/story/energy...
Citing Renewables, Appalachian Power To Lower Virginia Bills - West Virginia Public Broadcasting
That’s in contrast to the company’s April filing in West Virginia, which asked regulators to charge customers $5 more a month to pay for fuel expenses.

The most extreme example I've come up with is in #WESTVIRGINIA, where a 64-yr old couple earning $84,601/yr would go from paying $599/mo to $4,898/mo.
That's over EIGHT TIMES as much as they're paying today.
(The example here is based on them earning $90K):

At our first Kitchen Table Tour stop, community members brought the tough questions, and our delegates didn’t shy away from the answers.
