More than half of Americans having to cut back on food for their families should be enough for Trump to end the Iran conflict, give up on his illegal tariffs, and address inflation. Sadly, it's not.
Our people deserve better.

On Wednesday, Gov. Andy Beshear sent a letter to the office of U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell requesting an update on his health and well-being amid growing concerns around the Senator’s ability to serve.

Trump is refusing to sign affordable housing legislation. A few weeks ago, members of his party listened to Airbnb instead of passing a bipartisan bill to lower costs.
If you believe Kentucky families deserve to have their housing needs taken seriously, help us elect more Dems.
Happy Disability Pride Month. Disabled Kentuckians deserve leaders who fight for accessible healthcare, quality education, and opportunities. Kentucky Democrats will keep showing up for this community.

The Obergefell decision wasn't just about marriage. It was about dignity. It was about the simple idea that every American deserves to be treated equally under the law.
That's worth celebrating – and worth protecting.
The General Assembly's cuts were avoidable. I put forward a balanced budget that:
➡️Fully funded DCBS
➡️Provided full funding & services for providers
➡️Fully funded Medicaid
➡️Funded senior meals
➡️Expanded Michelle P. Waiver slots
It's time for @AndyBeshearKY to root out waste fraud and abuse and stop cutting programs that Kentuckians rely on. The Governor is choosing to cut services he doesn't have to cut in order to manufacture a crisis and attack Republican lawmakers so he can position himself as the hero.
In reality, he's just the boy who cried wolf.
If Beshear spent as much time rooting out waste, fraud, and abuse and as he does bemoaning Republicans, many of the "challenges" facing the executive branch wouldn't exist.
Now that he's manufactured this crisis, let's see how long it takes before @GovAndyBeshear is at another Team Kentucky Update pulling the wool over Kentuckians' eyes and announcing that he suddenly found the funds to save programs like the Lee Clinic and other services.
Just like he did with the senior meals program, this is another desperate attempt by the Governor to boost his standing in Iowa at the expense of Kentuckians who simply want a Governor focused on doing his job.
Trump's war has taken lives and the hard-earned savings of families, with Americans paying around $60 billion more for gas and diesel. That's about an extra $460 per household. He admitted he doesn't care, and it shows.
Recognition of Juneteenth reflects the resounding belief in liberty and equality for every person and I'm proud that we honor it as an executive branch holiday in Kentucky. Our legislature should follow our lead and make this important day in American history a statewide holiday.
Happy Juneteenth, Kentucky.
Today we honor the end of slavery in America and the generations who fought for freedom. There is still work to do and Kentucky Democrats are committed to the ongoing fight for equality.
Kentucky, I’ve heard your calls of concern about painful cuts to Medicaid and behavioral health services brought on by the General Assembly. I’m listening and I want to help. But to bring change, I need you to raise your voice along with me.
