Trump's education cuts target the communities that need help most. In Bell County, schools don't just educate—they provide meals, jobs, and hope for Kentucky families. These proposed cuts are more than just numbers—they're an attack on Kentucky's future.

@repmcgarvey.bsky.social is right: Trump's NIH cuts are illegal and hurt families. They’re forcing University of Louisville to pause ALL hiring. Between U of L and University of Kentucky, our state could lose millions in health research funding. We're fighting back to protect KY’s future.

Both Hal Rogers and James Comer represent communities where Kentucky families depend heavily on Medicaid and SNAP to survive. Yet House Republicans are backing $1.5 TRILLION in cuts that would gut these lifeline programs — just to give billionaires a tax break.

Medicaid and SNAP are a lifeline to thousands of Kentuckians. But Republicans want to cut these programs to pay for tax breaks for billionaires like Elon Musk. There is nothing common sense about hungry kids or cutting health care for our veterans and seniors. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

KY House Democrats have common-sense health care proposals that put Kentucky families first: capping EpiPen costs, improving maternal care, and expanding medical cannabis. Because everyone deserves the care they need, when they need it.

“Our costs would rise substantially for components where we don’t have a good option to either replace it domestically or from a country that’s not being subjected to tariffs.” Kentucky manufacturers would be pinched by Trump's tariffs — and that means higher costs.

KY families and small businesses are feeling the burn of Trump's failure to bring down costs. Democrats are ready to alleviate the pressure that Kentuckians feel at the grocery store. But as we've seen, out-of-touch Republicans and their billionaire backers don't care if you're forced to pay more.
