Governor @andybeshearky.bsky.social just beat Trump in federal court to protect AmeriCorps jobs and recover $7 million for our state. The KY GOP stayed quiet while Trump tried to rob Kentucky blind. Choose Democratic leaders who fight for Kentucky.

The KY GOP would rather line a billionaire's pocket than help our grandparents get access to the care they need.

Weather forecaster explains how cuts impact his ability to warn of hurricane dangers accurately.

This is about increasing crop yields and preserving soil quality, you hare-brained Luddites.

To our LGBTQ+ community in Kentucky: you are valued, you are loved, and you are not alone. This Pride Month and every month, Kentucky Democrats are committed to building a state where everyone can thrive as their authentic selves.

The Confederate flag is a symbol of white supremacy and support for slavery. Full stop.

To our LGBTQ+ community, we love you for being you. Happy Pride, y'all. 🏳️‍🌈

I'm proud to stand with and celebrate our LGBTQ+ neighbors. From being the first Kentucky governor to proclaim Pride Month to standing against hateful legislation, I'm going to keep fighting for what's right – a more equal and inclusive future for all. Happy Pride, Kentucky!

Apparently states’ rights stop the moment women board a plane with autonomy in their carry-on.

Sounds like he should have been cutting back on his substance use, not our federal government.

I made this list to help people clear their feeds of GenAI sludge. However, I make mistakes and a mute/block list is only as good as its lack of false positives. If you notice any just @ me and I'll review ASAP. So far 22 false positives have been raised and removed. bsky.app/profile/eidy...

Looks like the Musk and Trump honeymoon might be over.

Kentucky's most vulnerable will suffer so the KY GOP’s billionaire buddies can get tax breaks to buy more tanning beds. Call your senators now and demand that they vote NO. This could be the difference between someone putting food on the table and going hungry.

DOGE is not unstoppable. The courts stand in the breach.

Wondering how Kentucky Republicans taking health care and food away from vulnerable families sleep at night? They don't. In the witching hour tonight, they’ll scheme to pass this shameful bill, all to fatten the wallets of billionaires while Kentucky families suffer.

House Republicans began to mark up their spending bill this week, and it's not going well. As disability advocates protesting Medicaid cuts shut down one House hearing, MAGA Republicans stormed out of another, imperiling Trump's big not-so-beautiful bill 🍿

Republicans just blocked their own "big, beautiful bill" that would kick millions of Americans off their health care...because it doesn't cut Medicaid enough.

Making America Gross Again.

DNC Chair @kenmartin.bsky.social survived because America invested in him. Today's KY GOP would rather see Kentucky kids go hungry than ask billionaires to pay their fair share.

Gov. @andybeshearky.bsky.social just exposed the KY GOP’s plan: gut Medicaid and abandon rural Kentucky. With half of Kentucky's kids covered and special needs children relying on these services for critical care, these cuts aren't just wrong — they're cruel.

Un-American for thine, graduation for mine.

A few weeks ago, First Lady Britainy Beshear helped deliver 100,000 diapers and 1,000 cans of formula to Kentucky families impacted by recent flooding. When we come together in times of crisis, we show the true meaning of Kentucky Democratic values.

Why are ICE agents masked to begin with? Our law enforcement officers shouldn’t be anonymous. Ever.

It’s the grift that keeps on grifting.

Shot, chaser.

Remember when the GOP clutched its pearls over Hunter Biden’s paintings and fake reports of Burisma bribes? Well now there’s a naked bribe in the form of a 747 jetliner, and it’s crickets from the Republicans. My write-up on the Qatari Air Force One “gift” in today’s piece, link in the replies.

A president who governs by “Executive Orders” is weak, not strong.

"I’ve never seen anything in politics or in government as potentially devastating to families in terms of higher costs." Gov. @andybeshearky.bsky.social fights for Kentucky families who are facing $4,700 in additional costs while Trump boasts about policies that crush our rural communities.

I.D.I.C. Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations.

RFK Jr talking about the need for doctors to know how to treat measles for those who are unvaccinated. “Only very sick kids should die from measles.” No. They shouldn’t. That was the point of the vaccine. We eradicated the virus so children didn’t die. Sick & disabled kids are not expendable!

The president has covered the Oval Office in gold, is planning a massive military parade for his birthday, and is now accepting $400,000,000 luxury planes from foreign powers as personal presents. What the fuck are we doing here?

Respect new names for popes but throw tantrums over pronouns for neighbors. Got it.

This part

this guy hates this country, its laws and its traditions

Kentucky Republicans sold out our workers by supporting Trump's devastating tariffs. Kentucky relies on trade more than any other state in America. Our signature industries face destruction while the KY GOP stands idly by.

Change doesn't just happen during major elections. County Democratic conventions are taking place across Kentucky, where local leaders are elected to fight for our values year-round. Find your county's convention details here and be part of the movement! www.mobilize.us/kydems/

Your School House Rock moment......

I wouldn't be where I am today had it not been for my public school teachers. I am grateful for their impact on me, my two children and kids across our commonwealth and country. To our teachers: Thank you.

Kentucky's teachers deserve more than just appreciation — they deserve action. That's why Kentucky Democrats continue pushing for better pay and support for our public schools. We stand with our teachers this week and every week.

Contrasted with NYT, here's a newspaper exercising responsible editorial judgment.

On Sunday, Donald Trump told us what he thinks about the Constitution while spewing lies about the state of the economy. My recap in today’s write-up: buff.ly/dbyLZ5l

What relationship with your constituents? You do know a big part of being senator is actually giving a damn about your voters, right Andy Barr? Big bank money clearly matters more to you than listening to Kentuckians who are struggling to make ends meet.

Louder for the voters in the back!

DNC Chair @kenmartin.bsky.social speaking the truth 🔥 Kentucky Democrats are stepping up while the KY GOP continues hiding from their constituents. We're still waiting for them to do their jobs.

Vanity, vanity, all is vanity.

So you’re saying, high tariffs aren’t’ helping U.S. manufacturers? Who could have predicted!
