Kentucky U.S. Senate race gains Democratic momentum as two new candidates enter
The Kentucky U.S. Senate race has become more competitive on the Democratic side after two new candidates announced their campaigns last week.

Kentucky Dem candidates for U.S. Senate race in the primary.
I’m gonna need to hear thoughts from @amymcgrath.bsky.social on the Democratic Senators’ caving on the shutdown, and research the other candidates before I decide on this.
No more spineless Democrats.

Thank you!
If the Democrats message as democratic capitalists instead of “socialists” (as painted by the GOP) and use sanity as a sledgehammer, this could be a 40+ seat swing in the midterms assuming current election laws and legal stability.

I am heartened to hear Republicans using the failed strategy Democrats have always fallen back on.
“We have terrible messaging.”
Good luck with that.

I’m kind of new to the Democrats, but I thought we were FOR respecting the legal process, and also that we were AGAINST political corruption. And that it was especially important to hold to these principles at this time.
But I guess there’s some insider memo I didn’t get that would set me straight?

My takeaway from this episode-
In general, and born out by *documentation* here, immigrants to America and their progeny are some of THE most loyal Americans.
And IMO, Trump & Republicans have bastardized “patriotism” to take advantage of this.

The new, Trump version of the War on Drugs
is to bomb the mules by the dozens, and pardon the kingpins.

It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration.
But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants.
The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.

I suspect that Trump has experienced that feeling, nearly constantly & to this day, all his life.
And his rage & vengeance are a product of that life of fear & inadequacy.
