Over 220 roads are currently closed from flooding, and now snow is affecting areas as well. There are 2,300 Kentucky Transportation Cabinet personnel out working tirelessly, because they care about their fellow Kentuckians. Please give them space to do their jobs and thank these heroes.

I can’t remember where I read this, but it’s important: Why is it that when people think about traveling to the past, they worry about doing something small that will drastically change the present, but no one in the present thinks that doing something small today can drastically change the future?

Criminals are running amok inside our government and nothing will be done about it because—oh, that’s right!—America voted for a convicted criminal to be in charge of all federal law enforcement See how that works

This morning I sent a request for individual assistance due to the severe weather and impacts across our state to President Trump, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, and the acting director of FEMA. This funding would provide for immediate needs and clean-up for those affected.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

The UK has a shadow cabinet - political positions within the party that isn’t in power - and so should we. Plus, we need weekly press briefings led by @petebuttigieg.bsky.social on the state of the union. Business-as-usual time is over.

When a judge stops the president from doing something illegal, that’s not a “threat to democracy,” that’s a check on the president’s power. That's the whole damn point.

Nurses are heroes who care for us when we need it most. From addressing the nursing shortage to signing legislation that better protects these health care heroes at work – I'm committed to being there for them just as they are there for us.

What if this widespread governmental data grab is about leverage? What if that’s how they fight back if citizens—We the People—resist what’s going on? By crippling us financially as individuals… No military necessary.

Silicon Valley spent a lot of money on Super Bowl ads trying to impress me with a pair of glasses that can answer questions. Just fuck off. If I want for knowledge, I ask my friends or I research. Tech wants to rob of us meaningfully engaging with the world to buy their Mechanical Turk, get lost pal

I can’t believe the Supreme Court said the president was above the law and now the president is acting like he’s above the law.

As governor of Illinois, I’ve made it my mission to make our state the best to call home including for our LGBTQ+ community. No matter who you are or who you love, everyone deserves dignity and equality. Hate has no home here.

It was great to see my friends from the Kentucky Nurses Association today to recognize the steps we've taken together to strengthen our nursing workforce and how we can better support these health care heroes.

USAID is a criminal organization,” Mr. Musk wrote on Sunday in a social media post that many aid workers saw as confirmation the agency would soon be absorbed into the State Department and that some viewed as a potential threat to their personal safety. “Time for it to die.” THIS HAS TO STOP.

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too. Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more. Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.
