I think the media is going to be shocked that

📌Black voters are telling us to stay with Joe Biden, and we damn well better listen to them, because they have proven themselves to be THE most patriotic voters in America.

Our governor just announced he’s indefinitely banning all dine-in restaurant service. But establishments can apply for $10,000 to compensate for their losses. Does he realize that won’t cover one night’s receipts for some of these establishments? He will bankrupt many of them.

Biden went to visit Mayfield, Kentucky to check in on the Tornado aftermath, and was greeted by "Let's Go Brandon" chants. This comes after Biden hugged victims who had lost their homes, and after he signed a massive relief bill for them. Why help these people? Let them eat cake.

Hi Sen. Meredith. Black person here. We know what "urban" means, so let's acknowledge the utter BS of that. The other BS in your statement is that, in fact, many "urban" people came from and/or have roots in rural KY. They care as a matter of basic humanity & as decent people.

When there’s standing room only in Warren County for Democrats, we know something is brewing. Thanks to the Warren County Women of Color & the Warren County Dems for the love, the work, the passion, and the belief in what we can do together!

Just a reminder, Trayvon Martin is dead. Breonna Taylor is dead. George Floyd is dead. Sandra Bland is dead. Dylan Roof got Burger King, and a terrorist mob stormed the Capitol, committed God knows how many laws, put it on tape and live-streamed it,and got to go home. The hell...

The KYGOP agenda is literally protect kids from predators who don’t exist while allowing kids to go without food from hunger that does exist. It’s never actually about the kids for them. It’s about the extremes honoring the old Dixiecrat turned GOP tradition of picking a new

I want my kids to live in a Commonwealth with a Governor who speaks, not necessarily understanding the depths of the pain, but understanding there is gut wrenching pain, opens his heart to offer a light of hope. Thank you

The loss of Tyre Nichols is a tragedy, and the senseless acts of violence that took his life must be condemned. My heart breaks for this young father, who should still be alive today. Britainy and I pray for Tyre, his family and our country. ^AB

@GovAndyBeshear
has been right on this. After 4 years of Matt Bevin’s abuse & the KYGOP overall hostility towards public schools, it’s past time to implement the Governors proposal to invest in our educators, public schools, and empower our kids.

Let’s also be clear about the KY GOP attack on public education. Not a damn one of them could survive as an educator in a public school. Not a one. Imagine Damon Thayer trying to teach a class of 29 students without a Christmas tree to throw at the “rowdy” ones.

I’ve known
@RepMcGarvey
my entire adult life. This is his heart. People over politics. Lives over lobbyists.
People's lives aren't political. Public safety isn't political. We need policies in place that put people over guns.
I've seen us come together before to protect our communities—we can do this now. We have to come together to solve this problem that impacts all of us.

I shed tears tonight realizing for the first time the constant state of terror these last four years have been. If anyone tonight knows that feeling, it’s ok...exhale. We showed we were not meant to break. And we didn’t. They tried. He tried. But we didn’t break.

This is Rand Paul. Won’t fight for Kentuckians. Has no record of results for Kentucky. Won’t take on a real fighter for Kentuckt families. Probably believes he’s taking on someone “beneath” him. We know this is Rand Paul. It’s what makes defeating him even more necessary.

My fathers suicide was a result, in part, to the stigma we place on asking for help within the black community. I don’t know what life would’ve been like with him in it, but there’s not a day that passes that I don’t think about it. Thanks
@GovAndyBeshear
for your compassion.
This month I am wearing green to raise awareness about the importance of mental health. I believe access to quality health care is a basic human right – and it's critical that that care includes mental health, so all Kentuckians can live full, healthy lives.

The right to lawfully go anywhere, live, and not be met with gun violence trumps every other right. If fidelity to the words of men who owned human beings 247 years ago means attending churches, concerts, workplaces, schools, restaurants, requires a bulletproof vest, then we
It's been a heavy week in Louisville.

Happy Pride Month, Kentucky! For 232 years, from Pikeville to Paducah,Covington to Corbin, & everywhere in between, LGBTQIA+ Kentuckians have been, are, and continue to be, an integral part of Kentucky’s story.

To bury a child is hard enough. But to pick up the mantle and keep fighting for that child is love personified.
@karenforky

@BergBrousseau
will always be loved. We will never give up this fight.
Transgender children exist and transgender children deserve to exist. The Kentucky State Legislature has voted to remove basic rights from members of the trans community, their parents, and their doctors.

This charade shows the House GOP has no leadership. That Rep. Nemes, King, Massey, & Miles, would dignify this show while their caucus holds $220 million in relief to small businesses hostage to score political points, is a historic abuse of power. I stand with
