Arlington, KY
'I will not accept or tolerate an ignorant politician telling the people of Kentucky that we should be satisfied with poverty.'
I don't know if Sen. Rand Paul pegged Charles Booker as a doormat Democrat. Booker seems to be pretty soft-spoken and a really nice guy. But he's proving to be anything but a pushover, one-two punching Paul and Sen. Mitch McConnell.
'Tremendous' union support for Heaven Hill strikers
A month-long strike at one of the country’s biggest distilleries merits more national media attention than it has received, says Bill Londrigan, Kentucky State AFL-CIO president.
'Bans off our bodies' rally in Paducah
Hard-right, anti-abortion Republicans rule the political roost in the Jackson Purchase. But last Saturday, a group of about 40 women, plus around 10 men and boys, rallied in Paducah, the region’s main town, in support of Roe v. Wade and against state anti-abortion measures.
There's usually a big difference between most Ds and most Rs
I wish I had a crisp new Hamilton for every time I've heard somebody say, "I don't vote because there's no difference between Republicans and Democrats." But in reality, there really are big differences between most Democrats and most Republicans. Take COVID, for example.
KY makes a big blue move
Not the UK football team – this is about school systems, mask mandates, and whether or not this means people are tired of GOP shenanigans and are ready to elect a Dem to the Senate.
“Although access hangs by a thread, abortion is still safe and legal in Kentucky, and we must do everything within our power to keep it that way.”

”There are real and deadly consequences to Rand Paul‘s lies.“
Charles Booker and Sen. Rand Paul are practicing what they preach about COVID 19. By word and deed, Booker's for social responsibility. Paul's a Covidiot.
“Eventually they‘re going to shut this carnival down.”
An overwhelming majority of Americans are sick of being held hostage by an ignorant, belligerent, anti-science minority. And that loudmouth minority are about to find out what the majority really thinks of them.
We need a Wall of Shame for the recently-ended special session
Whose pictures would go on our Wall of Shame? All those leges who voted to put our children's lives at risk.
Shuler: Modern labor movement means nobody gets left behind
On this Labor Day, new AFL-CIO president Liz Shuler lays out her vision for the modern labor movement, and all the changes we need in our workplaces and our society.
They're anti-science, anti-rational, and paranoid as well. Why?
“...From the response to Covid-19 among Republican officials — especially the opposition to lifesaving vaccines — it’s hard to escape the conclusion that the paranoid, anti-rational streak in American politics isn’t as bad as we thought; it’s much, much worse.”
Covidiots protest mask mandates and practice 'freedumb' while more Kentuckians die
COVID-19 has produced the Covidiot, which some internet websites define as “a person who acts like an irresponsible idiot during the COVID-19 pandemic, ignoring common sense, decency, science, and professional advice leading to the further spread of the virus and needless deaths of thousands.”
Poll: Most people want mask mandates in schools.
The poll also revealed that 59 percent favor vaccination requirements for teachers and 55 percent support compulsory vaccinations for eligible students 12 and older.
Mitch and Big Jim
Mitch McConnell said he "fervently" opposes the "For the People Act." Old-time white supremacists like Sen. James Eastland (D-MS) would love McConnell's argument against the bill: the old "states' rights" smokescreen they used against civil rights legislation, passed to overturn Jim Crow laws.
'You can't make this stuff up'
When he says your freedom to not take simple precautions to protect lives is more important than your brother’s freedom to breathe, well, my God, how did we come to this?
