This is absolutely outrageous. Americans must demand answers, accountability, and change. www.cnbc.com/amp/2026/01/...

Filed for US Senate in the morning. Orthodontist appointment in the afternoon. This is real life.

Today, I officially filed to run for the United States Senate. I’m running to lower costs, protect health care, strengthen education and workforce opportunities, and make sure government works for the people who keep this state running every single day. Join my campaign today: www.AmyMcGrath.com

Everyday costs are higher than a year ago, and this administration is making it worse by inflaming global chaos. We all want to stop drug trafficking, but Americans deserve real solutions, not reckless airstrikes. Before any offensive action, Congress must vote. The Constitution demands it.

Governor Beshear announced that the Trump administration has accepted Kentucky’s Rural Health Transformation Plan in full. This five-year federal investment will help offset recent cuts and strengthen access to health care in rural parts of our state. www.lex18.com/news/coverin...

In Kentucky, primaries are closed. That means you can only vote in the primary for the party you’re registered with. If you want a voice in Democratic primaries & a say in where our state goes next, register as a Democrat by 12/31. Your vote matters. https://vrsws.sos.ky.gov/ovrweb/

Wow, a 15 year high on bankruptcies is happening the year we put on these stupid GOP/Trump tariffs…go figure. www.businessinsider.com/bankruptcies...

I’m saddened to hear of the passing of Tatum Dale. Tatum was clearly loved and deeply respected and her absence will be felt by many. I’m holding her family, friends, and colleagues in my thoughts and prayers, and sending strength to everyone across Kentucky grieving this tragic loss.

Merry Christmas from my family to yours. 🎄

This Christmas Eve, I’m spending time with the people I love and feeling especially thankful. Thankful for the love, kindness, and community that make Kentucky such a special place. May your night be filled with warmth, hope, and a little extra kindness. Wishing you a wonderful Christmas Eve.

This administration keeps saying everything is great. The headlines and our bank accounts tell a different story.

Of course we all would love a little extra money around the holidays but here's the truth about Trump's "warrior dividend."

When will the president realize his lies don’t lower our bills?

Last summer, Republicans in Congress including four Kentucky House members and one Kentucky senator voted to cut investment in next generation EV technology. The result is 1,600 Kentucky jobs lost. That’s mortgages, car payments, and families left in limbo a week before Christmas.

Congratulations to Gary Clemons on his special election win. Kentucky voters made their voices heard and chose leadership that puts people first. I wish him success as he serves the people of our commonwealth.

Louisville voters in District 37, today is the special election. Polls are open now and close at 6 PM. Be sure to make a plan to vote before then, because your voice matters.   You can find voting locations here: elections.jeffersoncountyclerk.org/wp-content/u...

During the holiday season, as families and friends come together to honor tradition and find comfort in fellowship, the increased cost of day-to-day living — groceries, utilities and health care — is front and center on everyone’s minds.   Read my op-ed here.

Happy Hanukkah to all who are celebrating. May this Festival of Lights bring hope & peace.   My heart is with the Jewish community after the horrific antisemitic attack in Australia. We mourn the lives lost, pray for the injured, and honor the bravery of those whose heroic actions helped save lives.

Republican candidates are powered by big money and they’re trying to buy this Senate seat. This race isn’t about who has the biggest checks. It’s about people coming together to stand up for Kentucky. Now is the moment to show we’re competitive. If you’re in, chip in at www.amymcgrath.com

Caught up with Chris Hartman over coffee this week. Chris is the director of the Fairness Campaign, Kentucky’s statewide LGBTQ advocacy organization. They’re doing important work in communities across the Commonwealth, advancing LGBTQ rights and helping build a more welcoming Kentucky for everyone.

Donald Trump says he wants to “crack down” on drug trafficking. But he cut prevention and treatment programs that help people rebuild their lives, and he pardoned a convicted drug kingpin. We need leaders who will actually fight the opioid crisis and invest in treatment, prevention, and recovery.

I just learned of the shooting at Kentucky State University today. One person lost their life, others were injured, and an entire campus community has been shaken. My thoughts and prayers are with the victims, their families, and every KSU student and staff member processing this tragedy.

Affordability is a fake narrative? For who?

Tennessee friends, today is the day. Get out and vote for Aftyn Behn. This race matters.

This year has reminded us just how much our communities need us, and how much we depend on one another.   On this #GivingTuesday, I hope you will join me in supporting the organizations that show up every day for families, veterans, and neighbors who are struggling.   greatnonprofits.org

America’s armed forces answer to the Constitution, not Trump's personal vendettas.

T-minus 24 days until Christmas. Who else has their tree up? 🎄

Happy Thanksgiving 🦃

Great night at Northern Kentucky University’s “Salute to Service” game as they took on Eastern Kentucky. Proud to cheer on both teams and honor those who serve.

In case you missed it 🇺🇸

I came for the game, Eleanor came for the chicken tenders and fries.

This afternoon I stopped by Bikes or Bust in Louisville to drop off a bike and meet some incredible people. If you can, drop off a bike by November 24th and be part of something truly special. Get more info: www.qlouisville.com/event/q103-1...

When the President of the United States calls for the execution of elected officials for speaking truth to power, it’s a direct attack on our democracy.

Grocery prices are up, wages aren’t, and Kentucky families are paying the price.

How are we supposed to “Make America Healthy Again” if leaders keep undermining healthcare? Everything they’re doing moves us backward. Raising insurance premiums, shutting down rural hospitals, and making it harder to pursue healthcare degrees isn’t how you build a stronger, healthier country.

Can someone explain how a theologian is more “professional” than a nurse practitioner? The Dept. of Ed’s new “professional degree” rules cut women-dominated fields like healthcare and social work from higher loan limits, pushing women out and worsening our workforce shortages.

Watching Donald Trump call a woman reporter “piggy” and then berate another for simply doing her job is absolutely unacceptable behavior. Our kids deserve leaders they can admire, leaders who show respect. We need to demand better for them and for our country. Join my campaign at AmyMcGrath.com

🦃🎙️ We’re cooking up a special Thanksgiving episode of my podcast @truthinthebarrel.bsky.social and I’ll be answering your questions. What do you want to know? Serious, silly, or totally unexpected… leave it in the comments and maybe it’ll make the episode. youtube.com/@truthintheb...

I stopped by Beechwood High School to discuss what it’s like running for political office & why standing by your values matters now more than ever. The students in Mr. Fletcher’s social studies class were sharp & asked truly insightful questions. I am inspired by the next generation of leaders.

After talking with cattle producers today at the North American International Livestock Expo in Louisville, one thing is clear. Trump’s move to import Argentine beef is hurting their business. Kentucky farmers deserve better leadership.

Honored to attend the unveiling of OneQuest Heath in Northern Kentucky (formerly called the Children’s Home of Northern Kentucky). They provide amazing mental health support for Kentucky families, thanks to the leadership of Rick Wurth.

Henderson County, you always show up. Good company, good conversations, and the kind of fried chicken that could win elections.

The “big, beautiful bill” Republicans are cheering on will rip health care away from Kentuckians by cutting Medicaid and putting up to 35 rural hospitals at risk of closing. Kentucky families deserve better than politicians who gamble with their lives. Join my campaign today at AmyMcGrath.com

Happy Veterans Day to all who have served. Today we honor the women and men who raised their right hand, served our country, and sacrificed so much for something bigger than themselves. I’m proud to have worn the uniform and to stand alongside so many incredible Americans.

Before this Senate deal to end the shutdown moves forward we need to talk about what’s really in it, and why it’s a bad idea.

Over the weekend, I had the chance to visit with folks in Owensboro and at the Sisters of Loretto Motherhouse. I was reminded of the strength, faith, and resilience that make Kentucky such a special place.

Some good news to start the week. apnews.com/article/supr...
