I know there are a lot of folks wondering about the significance of August 3 regarding a potential Senate vacancy. I want everyone to know that this date has no legal impact on my options should there be a vacancy this year. Worth a reminder, right now, there’s one less vote for the SAVE Act, Trump’s war with Iran, or the potential replacement of a SCOTUS justice.
New Leaders Council's national conference was in Louisville, where they brought together young leaders who are transforming their communities through social and policy change. I left inspired and hopeful- our future is bright!
NEW: “In 2020, President Trump lost,” Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear said Thursday.
“And now he’s lying to you—over, and over, and over, and over.”

Kentuckians have a fierce advocate in Britainy. I loved hearing her talk about important issues with @uofl President Gerry Bradley. From Family Scholar House to fighting human trafficking and domestic violence, it's a great conversation.

To George and Laura, Bill and Hillary — we're grateful for your friendship, counsel, and devotion to this country. And to Joe and Jill, thank you for being on this journey with us.
Thomas Massie and I don’t agree on much.
But billionaires and special interest groups spent $35 million in Kentucky to unseat one conservative congressman — all because he stood up to Trump.
It’s everything that's wrong with our politics today.
Trump and Vance are making billionaires even richer and hurting American families who are struggling to make ends meet. It's time for leadership that puts our families first – not last.
ALERT:
The Kentucky State Police is aware of and actively investigating multiple school bomb threats reported across the Commonwealth. KSP is working in coordination with local law enforcement agencies to investigate these incidents. (1 OF 2)
The president is claiming he "makes people better."
I'm not sure what reality he's living in, but cutting Medicaid and taking away affordable health care for millions of Americans doesn't make us "better."
People ask me how I won as a Democrat in a deep-red state. The answer is simple: Instead of talking at people, I talk with them. And I deliver results that matter. Good jobs, safe roads, health care – these are the things Americans care about. It's time we focused on them.
The post last night by President Trump about former President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama is racist, hateful and does not represent our country. This reprehensible rhetoric has no place in America — and certainly no place in our White House.
It was great to be in Finland with leaders of Ahlstrom, Helton, Excel Composites and Huhtamaki; companies that all have a Kentucky presence and have created over 650 jobs for our people. Team Kentucky shows up for our partners, just like they do for us. We’re in this together.
The President of the United States just overthrew a foreign ruler and explained to the American people that this is about taking control of the oil reserves of a foreign nation. He said that the U.S. will “run the country” until a proper transition can take place and went right into how US oil companies will benefit from this takeover. He doesn’t understand the risks and costs involved with these poorly thought-out decisions that don’t make Americans any safer today than they were yesterday.
Nicolas Maduro is a brutal, illegitimate dictator who deserves to face justice. I want the people of Venezuela to be free to choose their own future, but if we learned anything from the Iraq war, it’s that dropping bombs or toppling a leader doesn’t guarantee democracy, stability or make Americans safer. More often, it leads to chaos or drags the US into a war and lengthy occupation. I don’t trust that this administration has a plan, timeline, or price tag for what comes next.
Over the past year, Trump’s foreign policy has been reckless, chaotic, self-serving, and unconstitutional. Congress should vote this week to reassert its authority on behalf of the American people before he oversteps again. I also want to recognize the professionalism and skill of the American service members involved in this operation. While I don’t agree with the administration’s justification for this, I’m thankful that no service members were killed or seriously injured.
Our country needs a leader who brings us together instead of creating an "us" vs. "them."
America wasn't built on division. Unity is the only way forward.
We’ve learned of hateful, racist flyers handed out around Frankfort and surrounding communities. I want to be very clear: These messages have no place in Kentucky, and I condemn them. Our commonwealth is a place where we lead with love, and we will not tolerate hate.
Gov. Andy Beshear sent a letter to President Donald Trump urging him to oppose $24 billion in federal funding cuts from the U.S. Department of Energy, $537 million of which were awarded for Kentucky projects expected to create over 700 jobs.
