πŸ“’ This is what it sounds like when Kentucky’s first LGBTQ+ state lawmaker fights for YOUR constitutional rights. πŸ“’

Republicans are trying to weaken your civil liberties during Trump’s ICE crackdown. Senator Keturah Herron and Kentucky Senate Democrats refuse to stay silent.

If you can’t afford a lawyer, good luck fighting discrimination under HB 468.
Right now, you can file a complaint for free with your local human rights commission.

The KY GOP wants to change that and force families who are already struggling to hire an attorney and go to court instead.

Gov. Andy Beshear recently announced his first book is coming out later this year, and the KDP is excited to offer a limited number of signed copies for two weeks only.

Proceeds benefit the KDP to continue building a better future for every Kentuckian. secure.ngpvan.com/mBRe8m1m0kef...

Thunderstorms, heavy rain, strong winds and hail are possible, with the potential for tornadoes. There is also a flood watch in effect through Thursday morning for northwest Kentucky. Have your alerts on, make a plan to shelter if needed, and avoid high water while driving. 2/2

This is a reminder that we need everyone to remain weather-alert this evening as more severe weather moves through the state, especially for the north-central and northwestern regions. 1/2

BREAKING: Sen. Chambers Armstrong teamed up with Dolly Parton to expand Imagination Library so every child in Kentucky has access to books.

But today, on Children’s Advocacy Day, Nemes filed an amendment to gut the program. Health care, food and now books. Where’s the line in the sand for KY GOP?

Trump told voters he was the peace candidate, the one who would put America first and keep us out of endless wars. Now he is launching military strikes in Iran that 59% of Americans oppose while families at home are skipping meals and falling behind on rent.

This is not putting America first.

A Republican tried to stop Rep. Anne Gay Donworth from pointing out members of his party in Congress voted to increase the national debt by $4 trillion.

It was wrong. And it didn't work. Democrats refuse to let the KY GOP hide from the ugly budget they supported on Trump’s orders.

Since @andybeshearky.bsky.social became Governor, Kentucky has seen record-breaking investment, good-paying jobs, and expanded access to health care. He does it all while treating people with respect and staying true to his values. We are proud to call him our Governor.

A year ago, the Trump administration announced an "affordability czar" because it sounded good on camera.Β 

Then they forgot about it, or maybe they just hoped you would forget. Either way, costs are still rising and that czar does not exist.

Representative Jason Petrie is ignoring what's happening right on his doorstep.

Kentuckians, especially in rural communities, are suffering because of Medicaid cuts and the KY GOP is perfectly fine letting them go without life-saving care.

Checking the political donation box on your tax returns makes a big difference, but if someone else is preparing your returns, they might not know.

Make sure you β€” or your tax preparer β€” checks the box so you can support Kentucky Democrats.

The KY House GOP passed HB 500, but it still has to go through the Senate. Even after changes, this budget includes no new funds for teacher raises while leaving millions unspent so Republicans can chase tax cuts for the wealthy.

Call 1-800-372-7181 and tell your senator to vote no on HB 500.

America, let’s join together and pray for the families of the now six soldiers killed in attacks by Iran β€” including those based out of my home state, Kentucky. Let’s wrap our arms around them during this difficult time.

Governor @andybeshearky.bsky.social’s budget invests $500 million in affordable housing and rural health care, $50 million in food banks, and launches Pre-K for All so every Kentucky child can get a strong start. This is about building a future our kids deserve. We cannot let them down.

Maggie Chism's daughter died waiting for a heart transplant. While she was fighting to survive, Chism was told her daughter's Medicaid coverage might be cut because she was not utilizing services. The KY GOP heard her story and still voted for HB 2.

Remember their names this November.

The Kentucky Democratic Party would not be where it is today without the women who have poured their time, energy, and hearts into this work.

This Women's History Month, we want you to know how much your leadership means to us and how grateful we are to walk alongside you.

Thank you Congressman @morganmcgarvey.bsky.social for securing $1 million in federal funding for Louisville Riverport and for continuing to fight for the investments that make a difference for working families.

We are proud to have a Governor who sees what we see every day across this Commonwealth. Kentuckians taking care of each other, and that will never change.

Representative Pam Stevenson filed HB 391 to support the Kids Love to Read Program, which would deliver a free book to Kentucky children every week at no cost to families. This would help parents engage in their child's learning at home.

EXPOSED: Representative Josh Bray threw an unhinged 5 minute tantrum on the House floor complaining that Democrats didn’t meet with him about the budget.

This is the same guy who held secret budget meetings without letting a single Democrat through the door.
