[Fayette Democrats @FayetteDemocrat]

Voters want answers - about cuts to Medicaid, lost VA jobs, and canceled funding for our schools. Rep. Andy Barr is hiding.

Call Rep Andy Barr, and demand a public, in-person town hall. Now.

LEXINGTON: [phone]
WASHINGTON: [phone]

[Fayette Democrats @FayetteDemocrat]

Try as hard as we might, Rep. Andy Barr just keeps hiding 🫣 @Tim_Walz , why don’t you swing down and help us explain what’s happening in Washington?

[Fayette Democrats @FayetteDemocrat]

We heard @Tim_Walz wanted to do some traveling! While @RepAndyBarr hides from voters, @FayetteDemocrat will do everything in our power to do what the Republicans will not: tell the truth about the Musk and Trump giveaways and assaults on Kentucky families.

C’mon Tim, join us!

[Fayette Democrats @FayetteDemocrat]

STOP THIS CYCLE OF HATE. Tell Lexington’s GOP Senators @AmandaMBledsoe, @JCarpenterKY, and @DonaldDouglasKY to defend trans kids from @kygop. Sustain Governor Beshear’s eventual veto of SB150. Contact your senators at 800-372-7181 now!

Real talk… if my daughter were a teen now, or if any of my three sons (5-13) came to me, told me they were Transgender, & that they wanted to know their options from dressing as their identified gender, to respecting their pronouns, name change, possible birth certificate change, the transition process (from hormone blockers to possible surgery-not immediate, but possibly before they’re 18), I’d not give one flying flip what the KYGOP thought. We’d be on the first plane somewhere safe where they’d receive the support & care that they (and we as parents) need, to help make the best decision possible. And if they thought they’d send folks into my home to remove my kids, good luck, you can’t Breonna Taylor us all.

[Fayette Democrats @FayetteDemocrat]

Lexington Senator @AmandaMBledsoe emerged from hiding to do the bidding of her political patrons, at the expense of kids’ lives. Shame.

The GOP is simply in the business of taking away health care.

[Joe Sonka 😐 @joesonka]

After a long time in conference committees, SB 65 is now up for final passage in the Senate. This bill would undo Gov. Beshear's executive order last year to extend dental and vision benefits to Medicaid coverage in Kentucky.

[Cherlynn Stevenson @CherlynnForKY]

Will gladly co-sponsor! Great work @pattiminter4ky and @dannybentley12!

[Fayette Democrats @FayetteDemocrat]

[Fayette Democrats @FayetteDemocrat]

A lot of GOP drama, just so we have to re-do the work, the dumb way. @KYEqualJustice @120Strong

[Fayette Democrats @FayetteDemocrat]

he's right, though

[olivia krauth @oliviakrauth]

Gov. Andy Beshear: "If you are a school district that is not requiring universal masking, you are directly endangering the children, the staff, the faculty, everybody who is in each of your buildings and it is an inexcusable decision."

Three districts are making masks optional.

[Fayette Democrats @FayetteDemocrat]

We put together a quick #thankyoukelly video for @kellyflood to reflect on her leadership.

Give it a watch. We think she's great!

[Fayette Democrats @FayetteDemocrat]

One of the legislature's best is stepping away. We are so lucky to live in a community Kelly is in. #thankyoukelly

[Fayette Democrats @FayetteDemocrat]

@kellyflood @kyhousedems @kydemocrats You're a community builder who's strengthened Kentucky. Thank you for you leadership these years!

[Rep. Susan Westrom @repwestrom]

It is horrifying to think how many more lives will be threatened because we have not learned to love our neighbor as much as we love their dog.

[Fayette Democrats @FayetteDemocrat]

chop chop, get your order in! 😳
