American families shouldn't have to choose between groceries, medication or rent, but rising costs and cuts to essential programs are forcing them into survival mode. Our government should be helping families, not making it harder to get by.

These funds weren't about Democrat or Republican – they were appropriated by Congress for the education of Kentuckians, and I am proud we were able to get them back. Raising your voice can make a difference, and we've got to keep fighting for what's right.

We're celebrating the best five years ever for Kentucky when it comes to new jobs and our economy. With over $36 billion in investment and nearly 62,000 jobs created, we're moving our state forward for our people and our future. Even better, there are more good things on the way.

Over 80 million travelers visited Kentucky last year, helping us mark 2024 as the best year ever for our tourism industry. We've celebrated this milestone for three straight years thanks to every single proud Kentuckian who helps make folks feel welcome.

Thanks, y'all.

This week, we celebrated wins all across Kentucky.
✅Ribbon-cutting for Nitto in Frankfort, which will create 220 new jobs

If we can take the politics out of the core concerns of Americans, think about how much we could accomplish. Safe roads, good schools, quality health care and good-paying jobs aren't political – these are the things our people want and deserve.

I love a coffee shop that brings a community together like The Greenery. It was great to stop by this new Lexington favorite that put my coffee-making skills to the test. youtu.be/JItFj9Tw7kY

ICYMI: Gov. @andybeshearky.bsky.social called Republican cuts "a betrayal of rural America" on @meetthepress.com.

Republicans have shown their true colors when rural Kentucky needs them most.

For 120 years, Steinhauser Printing has been operating in Newport, and yesterday we cut the ribbon on a new printing press that will ensure years of more success to come. It was great celebrating this milestone with this true Team Kentucky partner and the entire Newport community.

There is no Team Kentucky Update today, but we'll be back next Thursday, Aug. 7, with good news from across the commonwealth.

Keep the faith, y'all. Let's keep showing up, raising our voices for what's right and loving our neighbors. We can get through anything together.

I've talked to far too many Eastern Kentucky families who lost their homes multiple times due to multiple floods. These Kentuckians deserve to feel safe in a forever home, and that's why we're rethinking how we build back from disasters. 1/2

More than 164 great new jobs are coming to Hopkins County with the $43 million investment from E. Hofmann Packaging that we broke ground on today. I can't wait to return soon to cut the ribbon on what will be a site for incredible growth and success for years to come.

A reminder that it's important to keep fighting for what's right. I am proud that we were able to secure back the education funding promised to Kentucky and other states.

Some federal education funding to KY, other states restored. Here’s how much Federal officials abruptly withheld federal funding for after-school programs, migrant and English-language education and professional development on June 30.

I'm happy the federal education funding appropriated to Kentucky by Congress has been released. I joined other state leaders in a lawsuit demanding this funding be returned because it's my job to fight on behalf of our kids, our people and our future.
