Who else had a 20 minute chat with Mitch McConnell? Talk about anything fun?

Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear sent a public letter to Sen. Mitch McConnell requesting a full update on his health, citing weeks of limited information since McConnell’s June 14 hospitalization. Beshear called for transparency about his ability to serve.

I spoke to Mitch McConnell for 20 minutes this morning. He told me he supports Medicare for All, a living wage, nationalization of the military industrial complex, a tenant’s bill of rights, equal rights for all, and a Free Palestine.

Posts that have caused the most internet ire in the 36 hours: -Calling out white suprematists for being white supremacists and cowards -Saying we should pay a living wage so folks can afford necessities

This weather is very unfergalicious.

NOT THE SPRITE AND SEGA!

SUPREME COURT UPHOLDS BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP! 🇺🇸

Nothing says “fraud, waste, and abuse” more than awarding a “no-bid contract.”

The best meme I’ve ever made.

First there was Goldwater Then there was Blackwater Now we have Greenwater

Remember when we thought getting an email was awesome? If you do, have you had a colonoscopy yet?

Tucker Carlson has always been trash. Just because he has dumped the GOP doesn’t mean we want him now.

lol

My most toxic situationship was more stable than the Iran negotiations under Trump

Yeah. This is going great.

Be kind to those today who did not have good relationship with their father or father figures. As someone who was estranged from her father for years, today is tough.

$14M and the worst algae bloom in 14 years. Mother Nature’s way of saying FAFO.

Didn’t have seeing my best friend from 3rd grade’s face on the back of a bus in Lexington when I left the gym.

Bill Gates is the largest private farmland owner in America. He has 275,000 acres. Why can’t Microsoft just build all of their data centers there?

The people simping for Elon Musk is absurd, especially when it’s your tax dollars that made this level of wealth hoarding possible. www.cnn.com/2026/06/13/b...

Realizing I did better in my first ever election (U.S. Congress primary to boot) than Nancy Mace is sending me.

Happy Loving Day! Remember: marriage equality is recent and vulnerable. Same sex marriage has only been nationally legal since 2015. These fights are not old but recent. The work continues.

We shouldn’t be celebrating someone becoming a trillionaire while Americans still can’t afford to buy basic necessities while working multiple jobs.

BREAKING: Lexington City Council passes a data center moratorium and plans to add a text amendment to specifically regulate data centers. The community wanted a change and we advocated for it. Advocacy works, y’all. Next stop: Frankfort.

Without downloading new pics, what is it like to date or be married to you?

NEW: Scott Pelley to NYT on Bari Weiss: "I don't want to be hyperbolic. My impression at the time was that she was putting a thumb on the scale on behalf of the administration. Constantly looking out for the views of the president. We're reporting those views … but it was never enough."

Or maybe just give us universal healthcare because we are - quite literally - sick of this 💩

I spoke with @fox56news.bsky.social about the data center at the Lexmark campus. I focus on energy impacts & complete lack of regulation for this type of development in Kentucky. We cannot rush into this level of expansion without protections for our people & planet. fox56news.com/news/local/l...

I co-wrote an oped about data centers in Kentucky with a Republican because this is a political issue but not a partisan one.

QQ: How can I get a 6 figure job with nearly unlimited power, housing, transportation, private chef, butler, and a huge expense account where I can just take a nappy poo at any point? You know. Like the current President of the United States.

BREAKING: Little Edie pulls out of Great American State Fair lineup. Will not be performing iconic flag dance.

I really wish America had invested in high-speed rail instead of single vehicle infrastructure. Many say they like the freedom of having their own car, but rail provides even more freedom to travel longer more easily and more affordably. I didn’t have a car in Korea, but I never felt stuck.

Fun fact: celebrating the differences of others doesn’t take anything away from you. If you feel targeted by celebrations of other groups, you’re the problem.

I’m so tired of hearing the word unprecedented. At this point I’d just settle for a precedented 6 months. You know, as a little treat.

Last night, I popped by a brewery and the bartender asked if I wanted a grasshopper. Definitely no crème de menthe here!

The rule of the storage unit is that what you are looking for is always at the very back in the bottom box and the most difficult thing to get to. There are no exceptions to this rule.

I ran for Congress because if there was going to be a revolution I wanted to be on the frontlines. My run for Congress may be over but the fight isn’t. America, Kentucky, the places I love are too precious to be broken down and demolished by hate and greed. So we keep fighting one day at a time.

Non-political drama I’d like to report: My mom’s Bunco group seems to have merged with another Bunco group and it is SENDING them.

I see a lot of folks from outside Kentucky blame Kentuckians for Gallrein’s win. Even calling folks ignorant. The amount of national & foreign meddling in the race is astonishing. These interests used Kentucky as a pawn. And to these critics, go donate to Melissa Strange who’s running against him.

I’m sitting here crying tears of joy as I read the incredible supportive comments about my campaign. My heart is so full but the hard work is still ahead.

I proved central Kentucky has a real progressive voting block. What have you done today? Never apologize for who you are and what you believe in. Never compromise for what is most important. This is the way.
