Senator Paul is right as rain on this.

[Senator Rand Paul @SenRandPaul]

Republicans missed the mark not just on gas prices, but on inflation and the economy overall.

The real answer? End the war, fix reckless trade policies, and stop deficit spending that drives inflation.

It's time for real solutions that put the American people first. @SchmittNYC @NEWSMAX

@smarkreilly Yes AND stop all payments from County to City AND breakup JCPS along those lines also. Trust me, that would pass overwhelmingly in my district. Merger was championed by former Mayors and donors from the Highlands. Not the east end.

[Councilman Anthony Piagentini @CMPiagentini]

Not true. The old city of Louisville was broke and took tens of millions in subsidies from the county every year just to pay for necessities.

[Smarkreilly🚶‍♂️🚴‍♂️🚍🚉🌴 @smarkreilly]

What Louisville's urban core would look like today if City/County Merger had never happened.

[Councilman Anthony Piagentini @CMPiagentini]

SEMPER FI!!! Happy Birthday to the Corps.

[U.S. Marines @USMC]

251 Years at the Tip of the Spear

For 251 years, Marines have met every fight with resolve, precision, and an ethos that never wavers. The first to fight and the last to yield. America sleeps well because Marines stand the watch.

Happy Birthday, Marines. Semper Fidelis.

@Rgebaiter1234 It’s a matter of public record.

[Councilman Anthony Piagentini @CMPiagentini]

@troy_coulter It is part of the urban services district extra property tax.

@David_DeBeer How did you get that very flattering photo of Dan? Haha!

[Councilman Anthony Piagentini @CMPiagentini]

What he said.

[Russell Coleman @RCforAG]

Kentuckians, Early Voting ends today!

Make your voice heard and have a plan!

[Councilman Anthony Piagentini @CMPiagentini]

@DonnaBBrothers @andie_biancone @BreedersCup @KentuckyDerby Love to see this mentoring and passing the torch. She has huge riding boots to fill but we will all be cheering for her. Well done Donna. Great leaders always help create great future leaders.

[Councilman Anthony Piagentini @CMPiagentini]

@KYAuditor Thank you Auditor Ball. We could not get this level of transparency without you.

[Councilman Anthony Piagentini @CMPiagentini]

MSD has engaged in an egregious mismanagement of funds. In 3 years their executives received almost a half million in vehicle allowance alone! Let’s put it this way, taxpayers shouldn’t pay one red cent in additional fees until this hot mess is cleaned up.

[Paul Miles @PaulMiles840]

NEW: Kentucky Auditor Allison Ball says a special examination found wasteful spending and a system of aging infrastructure at Louisville Metropolitan Sewer District (MSD).

[Councilman Anthony Piagentini @CMPiagentini]

@Boomerseven Let’s put it this way, taxpayers shouldn’t pay another dime in increased fees to MSD until that mess is cleaned up.

[Councilman Anthony Piagentini @CMPiagentini]

Let’s do this thing! Nuclear is the cleanest, safest, most reliable energy known to man.

[U.S. Department of Energy @ENERGY]

The Energy Department is delivering on @POTUS' Executive Order to unleash the American Nuclear Renaissance!

These investments will strengthen our grid and lower energy costs!

[Councilman Anthony Piagentini @CMPiagentini]

@AC3KY @bradluttrell Already spoken to LMPD. They are investigating and working with the victims. Waiting on news of any suspects. Could be random which is one of the hardest crimes to solve.

[Councilman Anthony Piagentini @CMPiagentini]

Say her name! Trinity Randolph! This 3-year old baby who was murdered while playing with her Frozen dollhouse has finally found justice. Her murderer was originally given life but the Supreme Court had an issue and now he has 35 years.

[Councilman Anthony Piagentini @CMPiagentini]

If convicted, these murderers should only receive the maximum penalty by law. If you kill a 16-year old girl at a bus stop, you don’t deserve leniency.

[Councilman Anthony Piagentini @CMPiagentini]

This is HUGE news for the state. In the future, states with power will grow and be prosperous. States without power will wither and die. It’s that simple. Nuclear power is the safest, cleanest, most abundant, most sustainable energy we can generate. Let’s do this!

[Connor Giffin @byconnorgiffin]

Enormous nuclear power project proposed in Kentucky today.

Plans for six AP1000 reactors would form "the largest nuclear power campus in the United States," @TheNuclearCo says.

Up to 6.6 gigawatts if built.

This is indeed really big news.

However…

May I ask for a daily international flight to Aruba in the winter months? Asking for a friend.

[Mayor Craig Greenberg @LouisvilleMayor]

Big news, Louisville is now flying international!

Some people thought it would never happen, but we're getting it done. Starting this spring with Air Canada, Louisville will have daily nonstop international flights to Toronto.

This is another reflection of how Louisville is a city on the rise. Our economy is booming, we're creating opportunities and jobs for our neighbors, and we're welcoming more visitors from around the world! That's what Louisville is all about.

Happy Columbus Day!!! America was named after and Italian (Amerigo Vespucci), not to mention the work of Cristoforo Columbo (aka Christopher Columbus). This holiday was created to acknowledge the contributions of Italian-Americans after a mass lynching in New Orleans.

[Knights of Columbus @KofC]

In an era of anti-Catholicism and anti-immigrant nativism, Blessed Michael McGivney chose the Catholic explorer Christopher Columbus as the Order’s namesake in 1882. In an essay in the September 2020 issue of Columbia, historian William J. Connell explains, “For [the Knights] and many others, Columbus was celebrated as a figure of civic unity and a symbol that immigrants, particularly Catholics, possessed a rightful share in American identity.”
