Day 3 of the I-65 closure and I'm already sick of seeing semi trucks on narrow neighborhood streets.

For the second time in 3 months, an LMPD officer fatally shot someone having a mental health crisis who did not have gun or knife. The person on Saturday was unarmed, naked and stumbling toward him. A reminder that the Trump admin killed the federal consent decree for LMPD.

County officials believed they had found a blueprint for launching a data center in rural northeastern Kentucky without raising the public’s ire. They were wrong.

The reorganization comes as part of differences in funding the court system received from the General Assembly in the state budget.

Gov. Andy Beshear first proclaimed June as Pride Month in 2021 — the first time in Kentucky history.

Scott Pelley, the man that you are.

It must be nice to work in a newsroom with so many resources that you can waste time on assigments like this for funsies.

"And I'm Joe Rogan. All that and more, tonight on 60 Minutes"

"Matt Bevin appeared at the sentencing on Friday via Zoom, saying he was unable to attend in person because a boulder had fallen onto a home he owns in Maine. He had previously been ordered to attend in person."

Every day we encounter a new series of words that has never before been strung together in that particular order. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Meet the Press has an "exclusive" with Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear this Sunday.

The recanvass is complete in Louisville's House District 44, and there was no change in the vote results. Unless Rep. Chester-Burton seeks a formal recount, that means she loses the Dem nomination by 5 votes to Kenya Wade. There is no Republican running this fall. #kyga26

Students and staff at KSU were instructed to evacuate the Frankfort campus around 11 a.m. on Thursday.

The state of Kentucky was going to take away Ron Smith's driver's license... until John Cheves started asking questions. Read John's latest story about this man's insane bureaucratic nightmare:

Very big Lexington news: Phoebe Bridgers is playing a pop-up show at The Burl tonight. www.kentucky.com/entertainmen...

Just left Riverbend prison, where an execution vigil and a long, confusing wait eventually culminated with the news that Tony Carruthers was taken off the gurney after failed attempts to find a vein for lethal injection. A mix of relief, joy, and horror among the people outside.

If you've ever been a client or employee of Kentucky's Addiction Recovery Care, @aacquisto.bsky.social and @taylorsixhl.bsky.social want to talk to you about your experience.

Depending on how you see it, Randall Weddle is the gift that keeps on giving or the curse that will never be lifted.

INBOX: A group dedicated to electing Democratic lieutenant governors has a new poll out showing Kentucky's Democratic lieutenant governor (and the only declared candidate) is the "unambiguous frontrunner" for the party's 2027 gubernatorial nomination.

Eastern Kentucky experiences significantly higher mortality rates for leading causes of death like heart disease, cancer and respiratory illnesses.

Kentucky’s top Dem weighs in on that race #ky04

After Thomas Massie’s defeat by Ed Gallrein, what’s next for the Kentucky contrarian? He’s keeping his option open.

As it turns out, President Donald Trump’s opinion still carries a lot of weight in Kentucky Republican primary elections.

Going to bed tremendously proud of the Herald-Leader's small but mighty team of journalists, who have covered so many important stories for Kentucky voters. 🥹 GOODNIGHT!

Fun unscientific experiment from Kentucky tonight, where both Democrats and Republicans had competitive Senate primaries. Here are the vote totals for the top 4 #kysen candidates: 1. Andy Barr: 283,703 2. Charles Booker: 155,487 3. Daniel Cameron: 144,548 4. Amy McGrath: 119,234

Very early county shading of where Ed Gallrein beat Thomas Massie in the Republican primary. Massie's farm is in Lewis County -- a county that is one of the most sparsely populated counties in a very rural state. Also his biggest base of support, % wise.

You don't often see a party chair celebrate the ouster of one of their own, and yet...

To every woman who has been harmed by Daniel Grossberg, this victory tonight is for us.

Louisville Democrats rejected Rep. Daniel Grossberg after two years of misconduct allegations.

Incumbent Democratic Kentucky state Rep. Beverly Chester-Burton may also lose her reelection bid. It's close with more than 95% of votes reported, per AP/NYT. She has had a couple of brushes with the law for drunk driving, which gave us some truly iconic quotes. www.kentucky.com/news/politic...

Thomas Massie has previously not ruled out a run for Kentucky governor in 2027, by the way. From January: www.kentucky.com/news/politic...

Taking a lil peek at the results here so far and it looks like Louisville Democratic voters in District 30 are largely not supporting the embattled incumbent.

Rep. Hal Rogers, 88, wins primary, gets GOP nod for a 24th term in US House Read more at: www.kentucky.com/news/politic...

Northern Kentucky Republicans embraced President Donald Trump’s choice for Congress on Tuesday, advancing GOP primary challenger Ed Gallrein to the Nov. 3 general election and rejecting seven-term U.S. Rep. Thomas Massie, whom Trump targeted for defeat.

Congressman Hal Rogers, who is now 88, has won the GOP nomination for Kentucky's 5th Congressional District for the umpteenth time. From when he sat down with @austin-horn.bsky.social in December:

Polls closed in the west and the AP said, we've seen enough. This was once a close race. But then Trump endorsed.

Currently running on a loop through my head as we await election results: www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMyC...

Reminder: Kentucky spans two time zones. Polls close in the eastern half of the state - including Louisville and Lexington - in 30 minutes. Folks in western Kentucky have another 90 minutes to vote.

Stina Ross, the woman who accused Kentucky state Rep. Daniel Grossberg of assault in college, came to Louisville to knock on doors for one of his opponents. Per the Courier-Journal: www.courier-journal.com/story/News/p...

New fear unlocked: A 56-year-old woman died overnight after falling into an open manhole when she stepped out of her vehicle in Midtown Manhattan, one of New Yorkers’ greatest fears.

So deserved! Sylvia is a rockstar, and Kentuckians are lucky to have her covering the state Capitol and Kentucky politics.

As someone who likes going to bed at a reasonable hour, I very much hope we don't see this put to use tonight, but... The threshold for automatic recounts in Kentucky elections is a margin of 0.5% of the vote or less.

It’s Election Day in Kentucky so that means it’s time for my annual complaint: There is a polling place a mere 4-minute stroll from my house, yet it’s not *my* polling place. Instead, I’ve got to drive 10 minutes to vote.

New #KYSen: It might seem grim to compare your electoral odds to that of a 90 y/o woman giving birth. But, quoting the Bible, Daniel Cameron did just that. How a faith-on-his-sleeve approach & an odd coalition keep the promise of a Cameron miracle alive. www.kentucky.com/news/politic...

“(Iran) cannot have a nuclear weapon to blow up Kentucky and to blow up every place else. We’re not going to let that happen,” Trump said.
