We need more “moral exhilaration.”

“Facing an economic spiral and depleted conventional forces, Vladimir Putin is entering a window of maximum danger. We must prepare not for a resurgent Russia but for a desperate one: 2026 will be the year of hybrid escalation.” www.rusi.org/explore-our-...

They’re not even half way done. And didn’t realize it until this morning apparently, because they would have definitely informed congress sooner , right?

In which the president admits he is surrounded by medical specialists who observe him while he’s repeatedly administered cognitive exams. Vote out every single enabler of this madness. It’s the only hope for accountability.

In which the president calls many states “bad actors.” A democratic majority won’t fix everything, but it is a necessary precondition to fixing ANYTHiNG.

Tick tock, Pete.

To Trump and his cronies ,Ukraine is just a valuable piece of real estate they are willing to trade away for access to $300 billion.

Profiles in courage these men are not. Q: Did you war crime in the Caribbean ?: Pete: fake news that didn’t happen Trump: It definitely happened but it was Petes decision and he said he didn’t do it. Pete: I stand by the Admiral who made the decision to do this thing that didn’t happen

Remember the months long campaign to sell Americans and the world on the necessity of Iraq ? They’re not even trying with Venezuela, because they feel absolutely immune from congressional oversight, voters, and allies.

Trump spouts more tariff nonsense, saying he’sll eliminate income taxes with tariff revenue. 1) this isn’t even economically feasible or desirable 2) would function as a regressive sales tax on poor and middle income earners. He’s absolutely clueless. apple.news/AR1GTvgfARfK...

My heart goes out to the families of the National Guard members killed in DC today. These senseless killings are heartbreaking, and it is incumbent on our leaders in moments like this to provide calm and comfort.

Having been a target of Trump’s retribution, I’m convinced these actions aren’t just aimed at people like Sen. Kelly or myself. It’s squarely aimed at those still serving and it sends one, unmistakable message: comply.

As a survivor of the Tulsa Race Massacre, Viola Ford Fletcher bravely shared her story so that we’d never forget this painful part of our history. Michelle and I are grateful for her lifelong work to advance civil rights, and send our love to her family.

Kentucky: imagine if Donald Trump had half of the level of care for you as he does for ginning up bogus prosecutions of his political enemies.

“Trump’s” peace plan for Ukraine is what you get when a U.S. president is co-opted by a foreign leader, or is so easily manipulated by a foreign leader, or is too ignorant and possibly demented to know the difference.

My wife says our Friday night date officially makes us old: 530 dinner followed by Ken Burns The American Revolution. I have no rebuttal.

The pro-wrestling lady continues to wreak havoc on our education system, this week restricting loans for Graduate-level nursing programs. This is yet another broadside in the war on women and working families’ access to healthcare. Here are the dominos that will fall: 1/x

A lot of Kentuckians - including my dad - have been lost to fentanyl. They deserve justice, not more violence in their names. But Trump is using their deaths to justify lawlessness and extrajudicial killings in the Carribean. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8DEqTAT/

I’m running for the U.S. Senate for all those Kentuckians who don’t have a cool $500m in bitcoin laying around. These people are not on your side.

“There are a lot of similarities between my life story and JD Vance’s. But there is a major difference: I didn’t turn into a giant asshole at the end of mine.” Thanks @chucktoddd.bsky.social for having me!

Call me old fashioned, but back in my day when we had meetings in the Situation Room, it was to protect the country - not predators. www.cnn.com/2025/11/12/p...

Happy discharge petition day to all who celebrate... www.nytimes.com/2025/11/12/u...

Happy Veterans Day to all who served. My service in uniform concluded a long time ago, but I hope we all as citizens remain committed to ensuring the sacrifices our veterans have made weren’t in vain.

Had a great time speaking with the Henderson County Democrats tonight. Kentucky is ready to turn the page on 42 years of Mitch McConnell.

Thanks to the @lawgunsmoney.bsky.social crew for having me! Shared my convictions around maintaining a robust, non-partisan civil service and getting this government to try as hard for the working class as it does for the ultra wealthy .

Thanks for saying this, @velshi.com I’ve said it often when folks ask me why I’m running for the U.S. Senate. My generation of elder millennials has to get off the sidelines and in the game.

Went to bed mad. Woke up mad. Working families deserve so much better than what the ode 8 senators gave them last night. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8D4DqdM/

Call it what it is: A betrayal. Working families just last week showed up all over the country for democrats because they believed democrats were fighting for them. And tonight, 8 senators threw in the towel on that fight in exchange for empty promises

Nothing says you’re looking out for working people like appealing a court order forcing you to feed the hungry. apple.news/AwqDoDGinSaO...

“Wealth continues to accumulate at the top, leaving most of the population behind. Everywhere in history where fascism grows, it does so in the fertile fields of wealth inequality.” omny.fm/shows/chewsv...

You can’t run as a democrat in red state pretending to be a republican…voters see through that…they don’t like it. omny.fm/shows/chewsv...

“There is no greater to our national security and national cohesion than the economic war being waged on working families…” Thanks to Richard Chews and @chewsviews.bsky.social for having me this morning. omny.fm/shows/chewsv...

Good morning to these future governors!

This administration’s policies continue to fail working families across Kentucky and the country. Voters will hold it accountable. Last night’s election results were just the beginning.

Congrats to my former CIA colleague Abigail Spanberger and to Mikie Sherrill on their election wins tonight - unmistakable victories for working families and those who want calm, steady leadership. And because some democrats have trouble saying it, congrats to New Yorkers and Zohran Mamdani!

My thoughts are with the families of the flight crew, airport workers, and our first responders who are working in dangerous conditions to protect the community.

It was great meeting with the Pulaski County Democratic Women’s club last night. Fair warning: they invited me back to sing at their Christmas party. I expect demand for tickets to be roughly on par with the Eras tour .

I’m running for the U.S. Senate with a simple message: the greatest threat to this country is the economic war being waged against working families. Costs are out of control and wealth continues to accumulate at the top. We chose the policies that created this, and we can choose differently.

The same poll showed democrats with only a 2 point advantage on the generic ballot, down from an 11- point advantage at the same point in Trump’s first term. We have to do a better job.

Martha Layne Collins was a trailblazing and enterprising Kentuckian. The first and only female governor of our Commonwealth, she brought Toyota to Kentucky and brought unprecedented economic growth to the state. Her commitment to her fellow Kentuckians was exemplified in her public service.

Joined the @findoutpodcast.bsky.social to discuss my campaign for US Senate and how our political system continues to leave working families behind. We also got to important things like basketball and bourbon. Check it out !

I don’t think there can be any other conversation until we know exactly what Trump means by “testing.” Three subcritical tests were conducted during his first term, deer god please let it be that.

Powell: "Higher tariffs are pushing up prices in some categories of goods, resulting in higher overall inflation."

Could have easily happened trying to change the font in MS Word.

My thoughts on A House of Dynamite. “Nuclear deterrence depends not just on technology and procedure, but on wisdom, clear communication, and stable democratic institutions - much of which is in short supply in 2025 America. “

It’s because SNAP recipients didn’t collectively praise him like Milei did.

I worked in the White House Situation Room and fortunately, most of the critical functions shown in the movie are performed by competent civil servants. Soon though, there won’t be enough left.

The world is moving on. We’ve abdicated our position of global leadership and everyone will be worse for it.

This is an absolutely necessary step. But If ICE is going to continue to exist, the selection and training standards need to be raised back up and enforced. Starting with more than 15 pushups.
