Start your week off right with a quote from Mo Dioubate.

Watchdog stories like this are why local journalism at @kentucky.com and great reporters like Beth Musgrave and Valarie Honeycutt Spears are important. Government and institutions must be held accountable to the public. www.kentucky.com/news/local/c...

The cruelest thing about the Trump/Kennedy pseudoscience press conference today is that there are now women who believe they caused their child’s autism. To those women: you didn’t.

Beshear: If you walk down your street and look at six houses, at least one of them is going to belong to someone from a different political party. But you care about all of them. The challenge is to take that mindset from our own street and apply it to everyone we interact with

This may explain why there’s an aggressive response to people who merely post Kirk’s own words. It threatens the existence of the alternate Kirk - the motivational speaker that had been marketed to young kids and white Christian groups through selective quotation & clips.

I'm horrified to hear that Charlie Kirk was shot at an event in Utah. Democratic societies will always have political disagreements, but we must never allow America to become a country that confronts those disagreements with violence. Mark and I are praying for Charlie's recovery.

Got some actionable information you want to put in the hands of investigative journalists. Here's how: www.motherjones.com/contribute/h...

Aaron's page is one of my go-to sites for news and analysis-often with a little gallows humor mixed in It's not inaccurate to say that supporting his efforts is like supporting American democracy

ICYMI: Kentucky is getting crushed by Trump's policies, and Gov. Beshear is our voice fighting back. He told governors that Trump's tariffs are hitting our state the hardest, forcing small businesses to lay off workers. And Kentucky Republicans are nowhere to be found to help their own people.

Georgia O'Keeffe, Sunflower New Mexico, 1935 #WomensArt In folklore the sunflower is considered a flower of loyalty because each day it turns its head to loyally follow the sun, from east to west 🌞 #FolkloreThursday

I'm bummed Dyson isn't on Bluesky so I can't properly call them out. Word of advice: Don't buy Dyson products from Dyson. Get them from an authorized reseller. Dyson can take month to refund a return. Their "iconic" customer service is iconically, laughably BAD.

@jamielucke.bsky.social with the receipts: 98 of Kentucky's 138 legislators get their health insurance through the state-sponsored plan for public employees. And they enroll 138 dependents. @kentuckylantern.com kentuckylantern.com/2025/07/23/w...

#ProudBlue This is what true leadership looks like. You lead with compassion & empathy. You comfort & heal. Not the hateful BS happening right now. I miss Biden’s leadership. He wasn’t perfect, but he is a good man & a true leader. These pics don’t fit their narrative of him being unfit.

MAGA is destroying America day by day for the benefit of the wealthy with the blessing of the ignorant and cowardly. Vote out every member of Congress who isn't raising holy hell right now. wapo.st/3T8gMxY

Tucker Carlson says Fox is a propaganda network that manipulates their mostly elderly audience.

Terry Moran, if you’re reading this: the door is open.

Noem’s new dog would be well advised to get his ass to an SPCA shelter before she comes home from work this evening

Our hearts go out to those affected by the storms throughout Kentucky.

Bruce Springsteen just opened his European tour in Manchester with a powerful message about how things are going back home 🔥

Springsteen should hold a massive free concert in the Washington, DC, area on the day of Trump’s stupid birthday parade and we’ll see who draws more people.

The Statue of Liberty was a gift to the United States, not an individual. That’s why it is now a public monument and not sitting in Grover Cleveland’s presidential library (not sure if he even has one)

This dog politely asked for a musician's drumstick in the middle of their performance. Always excited to find a fellow stick lover. 12/10
