Longest. Republican. Government. Shutdown. Ever.

Gretchen & Janet & Kathy & Katie & Laura & Maura & Michelle & Tina & now… Mikie & Abigail! That makes ten women Dem Govs. Historic!

Open enrollment on kynect, Kentucky's health insurance marketplace, starts tomorrow and a lot of people are in for a shock. Kentuckians like Kara need Congress to extend health insurance subsidies now.

Democrat Abigail Spanberger was elected governor of Virginia, the first woman to hold the office. The race, one of only two gubernatorial contests this year with New Jersey’s, offered Democrats a test ground for rebuilding ahead of the 2026 midterms.

Louisville, stay safe. Our thoughts are with the victims of tonight's plane crash and the first responders working to make sure no more lives are lost.

LEXINGTON!!! You showed up and stood up for democracy! We had amazing speakers and music and marching, but YOU made it all possible. Enjoy these great 📷 from Ashley Swift Photography #NoKings #NoKingsLEX @bgaalliance.bsky.social @50501ky.bsky.social @ky120unitedaft.bsky.social @dsabluegrass.org

Thanks, Trump

Thanks Trump

So much for “America First.”

We are about to enter Day 3 of the Republican shutdown. Your regular reminders: 1. Republicans control the White House, the Senate and the House. 2. Democrats are fighting to lower costs, cancel the cuts and save healthcare for Americans.

The closure of thousands of farm loan offices have Republican leaders acknowledging the shutdown pain hitting farmers, a key GOP constituency.

NPR's Steve Inskeep speaks with Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear about his cross-party appeal in a state that has always overwhelmingly voted for Trump. bit.ly/4nZLeHS

Rep. @maxwellfrost.bsky.social: We are not going to be complicit in taking away health care from Americans.

"Instead of doing anything to prevent the looming shutdown or spike in health care premiums, President Trump spent his weekend posting Al videos about magical healing beds.”

What an EPIC waste of time and taxpayer money.

Amid escalation of political violence, leaders can't "fan the flames but condemn the fire," Beshear said, answering a question about the killing of #CharlieKirk.

Political violence has no place in our democracy. We reject intimidation, threats, and harm, and instead choose respect and dialogue. Our nation is strongest when disagreements are addressed with civility. Lexington Democrats remain committed to treating one another with dignity.

Trump lied about this birthday card. What else is he hiding?

What “wonderful secret” was Trump hiding with his “pal” Jeffrey Epstein? The American people deserve to know.

Governor @andybeshearky.bsky.social has always been a voice of reason in chaotic times. From breaking economic development records to a pandemic, natural disasters and now threats from harmful GOP policies, we’re grateful for his leadership in the best and worst of times.

OpEd: The Big Beautiful Bill weakens Medicaid, straining our healthcare infrastructure, reducing access, and driving up costs for everyone.

How did the KY GOP do on their back-to-school report card? Straight F’s.

In Kentucky, women and families already face challenges when it comes to maternal care. President Trump's cuts to Medicaid – which covers nearly half of all births in our state – will make these services even harder to access. 1/2 www.yahoo.com/news/article...

Gov. @andybeshearky.bsky.social’s latest victory against Trump restored $9 million in AmeriCorps funding for Kentucky. Combined with the $96 million in education funding he already secured, that's real money making a real difference for Kentucky families.

Full-service Governor.

Kentucky Democrats are holding town halls across the state. Congressman McGarvey just finished his 13th since Trump took office. Kentucky Republicans? Zero. They're hiding because they can't defend their cruel agenda, even to the people who elected them.

It’s always right to do what is right. And thanks to Dem Govs like @andybeshearky.bsky.social , schools across the country will get every dollar owed to them.

ICYMI: KY GOP keynote speaker Sen. Jim Justice owes Kentucky hundreds of thousands of dollars for forcing our miners to work in life-threatening conditions.

Commentary by Amber Duke @acluofky.bsky.social A year after criminalizing street camping, KY is left with "hundreds of citations, growing mistrust of outreach efforts, worsening homelessness, and a question that still hangs heavy. Why did we let this happen?" kentuckylantern.com/2025/07/18/a...

I see mad people.

KDP Statement on Disgusting Republican Budget Scheme to Bolster Billionaires at the Expense of Working Families

The way someone treats seniors speaks volumes about their politics. These Senate Republicans just voted to screw seniors over to give billionaires like Donald Trump a tax cut.

*shocked face*

Republicans want to close 35 hospitals in Kentucky to give their donors an even bigger handout. Minutes matter during a health emergency — if you live in rural Kentucky, Republicans are taking those precious minutes away.

Thank you Gov. Beshear on speaking about a vital issue that DC has forgotten about!

Don’t fall for it. Immigrants are our neighbors, our friends, and involved community members— and we are lucky to have people from around the world make Louisville their home.

Trump vs Musk is like watching two rubbery movie monsters fighting. The problem is, it’s real life, and the tiny people being squashed underfoot aren’t special effects—they’re us. 🧵

On the anniversary of D-Day, let us give thanks to the brave soldiers, sailors and airmen who sacrificed to create a better world for us all. Our veterans are heroes.

Turns out the toxic relationship that everyone said was gonna eventually blow up, did in fact blow up. Maybe we shouldn’t allow unqualified billionaires who think of no one but themselves run the country.

Working people are fed up with a system where CEOs make 238x what workers make. That’s not the future that working people deserve, and we’re fighting for a better one. America’s unions are standing up against corporate greed every day.
