Freedom of speech is protected by the FIRST Amendment – that means it's pretty darn important.

On National POW/MIA Recognition Day, we honor those who endured captivity and those who never came home. Their courage defines true heroism. You are not forgotten.

Trump is trying to use your tax dollars to fund "civics education" run by MAGA groups that push their agenda on students. This isn't teaching democracy—it's teaching kids to think like Trump. Propaganda doesn't belong in our classrooms.

Erasing slavery from our national parks won’t erase it from our history.

Happy 78th Birthday to the United States Air Force! 🇺🇸 ✈️ Today we honor all our airmen, including the brave men and women of the Kentucky Air National Guard who serve our Commonwealth and nation with distinction. Thank you for your service and sacrifice.

Tomorrow night at the Mountain Arts Center in Prestonsburg, we're sharing RISING – a documentary from Team Kentucky. This is the story of Eastern Kentucky and how this region is rising above the 2022 floods. I hope you'll join us. RSVP at rising.ky.gov.

This recovery month, we honor the progress Kentucky has made under Governor @andybeshearky.bsky.social’s leadership. Overdose deaths down three straight years. More Narcan in communities. More treatment options. Recovery is possible, and Kentucky is proving it every day.

As Gov. @andybeshearky.bsky.social said, you can’t “fan the flames and condemn the fire.” Shame on you JD Vance for spreading lies that could cause senseless harm to innocent people.

Thank you Gov. @andybeshearky.bsky.social for fighting for affordable and accessible health care.

🚨 LAUNCH ALERT: We just dropped bigbetrayalbill.com + new merch to expose how Trump and Kentucky Republicans are sacrificing YOUR healthcare for billionaire tax breaks. Kentucky has 35 hospitals at risk. Check your county's data and see which elected officials betrayed you.

HealthTrackRx chose Louisville for their largest, most advanced laboratory because Kentucky has the skilled workforce and business climate they need. Lt. Gov. Jacqueline Coleman celebrated 230 new jobs with above-average wages in the booming biotech sector. This is Team Kentucky at work.

Dem Govs will always fight for your kids — you can count on it.

Kentucky Republicans are making it harder for Kentuckians to get life-saving medical care. They gutted almost a trillion dollars from Medicaid—a program that covers health care for half of all babies born in the Bluegrass State.

This Hunger Action Month, Kentucky Senate Democrats went to Dare to Care Food Bank to help families put food on the table. Thank you for being there for our neighbors.

Today is National Voter Registration Day. Your vote matters. Make sure you’re registered at vrsws.sos.ky.gov/ovrweb/

Kentucky Republicans are Complicit in Trump’s Failing Chaos Economy

Folks, make sure to take care of yourself. Take a breath, hug your kids, and put the phones down. And remember, kindness and love go further than hate and division.

Too many Kentucky children start kindergarten without the tools they need to succeed. Universal pre-K would level the playing field for every child while giving them the foundation they need to thrive and help parents get back to work.

Let’s be clear about Trump’s budget cuts. Millions lose Medicaid, families lose SNAP benefits, and governors must scale back road projects and other programs to cover massive new costs, all for tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy. This isn’t caring about families, it’s cruelty.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Happy Hispanic Heritage Month, Kentucky! We celebrate our Hispanic and Latino neighbors across the Commonwealth, but we know too many families still face barriers to opportunity. Democrats are committed to building a Commonwealth that works for everyone.

Grateful for Gov. @andybeshearky.bsky.social’s commitment to addiction recovery as Kentucky now has 31 counties certified as Recovery Ready Communities. Six more Eastern Kentucky counties joined the program, expanding access to treatment and recovery services across the Commonwealth.

Your county party needs people willing to volunteer who understand what's at stake for working families. Fill out the form and we'll get you connected with Democrats in your area who are already doing the work. forms.gle/igBJeKX2x98o...

Looks like the Calloway County Democratic Party had a blast! Join them next month for trivia night and meet some great people too!

September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month. Mental health matters just as much as physical health. That's why the Beshear-Coleman administration launched the 988 Mental Health Crisis Lifeline. Check on your neighbors and remember that asking for help is a sign of strength.

Last week in Mayfield and Princeton, two single mothers received the keys to their new homes nearly four years after losing everything in the tornadoes. Gov. @andybeshearky.bsky.social’s commitment to Western Kentucky recovery continues with 250 homes now completed through the relief fund.

Today we honor the lives lost on September 11th, 2001, including the brave first responders who made the ultimate sacrifice while serving others. We will never forget.

KDP Statement on Deadly Shooting of Charlie Kirk

I strongly condemn the senseless attack on Charlie Kirk today. Political violence has no place in the United States of America. It further tears our country apart and sets us back versus moving us forward. Violence is always wrong. Period.

This @washingtonpost.com article details how a Kentucky mom couldn’t visit her premature daughter for 2 months because her car broke down and she couldn’t afford the 70-mile trip. Medicaid cuts in the Republicans’ big, ugly bill will only make it harder for rural women to access the care they need.

“Republicans in Congress, in passing that big, ugly bill, basically punched rural America in the face.” Thank you Gov. @andybeshearky.bsky.social for sticking up for rural Kentuckians on @latenightseth.bsky.social.

Couldn’t have said it better, Gov. @andybeshearky.bsky.social

A few weeks ago, another company chose Kentucky for its headquarters. Lt. Gov. Jacqueline Coleman welcomed Vsimple as the company relocated from Indiana to Louisville, bringing a $5.1 million investment and 194 well-paying tech jobs to the Commonwealth.

When Kentucky families lose SNAP benefits because of Trump's cuts, they'll turn to food banks that are already stretched thin. Dare to Care is warning lawmakers they can't replace what the federal government is taking away from hungry families.

There is still time to register for Saturday's Social Security Town Hall with Martin O'Malley and Ned Pillersdorf in Pikeville. Join us at noon to learn how Trump and DOGE are attacking the benefits you've earned and how we can fight back together. Register here: mobilize.us/s/7Xziey

Kentucky makes 95% of the world's bourbon – and 100% of the bourbon worth drinking. During Bourbon Heritage Month, we're celebrating this $9 billion industry that not only creates Americans' favorite spirit but also supports the jobs of more than 23,000 Kentuckians.

Senator Meredith accepted an award for rural health care excellence at the Owensboro Health Twin Lakes Medical Center a few weeks ago. That same hospital is on the list of 35 facilities at risk under Republican policies he supports. Unbelievable.

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.

As Governor @andybeshearky.bsky.social said, RFK Jr. needs to go and go quickly.

KDP Statement on President Trump’s Job-Killing Agenda and Failing Economy

Trump's economy is crashing.  ❌August jobs are at a major low ❌Manufacturing is down ❌Unemployment is skyrocketing  Kentucky working families are paying the price for his failures.

$2 million in federal funding is now available to help Kentucky domestic violence survivors. Gov. @andybeshearky.bsky.social continues putting resources where they matter most. Applications are due Sept 26th for organizations ready to make a difference.

Dem Govs are leading by example and pioneering the way forward.

KDP Statement on Impact of Tariffs as Kentucky Bourbon Festival Begins

Congressman @morganmcgarvey.bsky.social has held more town halls this year than all members of Kentucky's Republican Congressional delegation combined. The rest are collecting government paychecks while dodging the work and the people who pay them.

Turns out that firing the expert who oversees our jobs reports didn’t fix Trump’s failing economy.
