Damn straight, Barb! He made a big mistake.

A fantastic Friday spent with Carrie, Dennis, Amy, Ed, Jane, and more! Grateful for all of their thoughts and encouragement. We even found a friendly deer 🦌 on the way home. #CaringforKentucky 💙💛

Yesterday, we saw another legislative seat flip (this time in TX!) for the 8th time in the past year. This doesn’t happen by accident - it happens when we care for our neighbors and families. So today, our team bundled-up to greet folks like Leah, Ruth, and Joe at their doors🚪💙💛 #CaringforKentucky

A sea of hands rise to the air like a great tsunami.

I am excited to share the cover of my upcoming book of poetry, "Talking to Irwin." I am so pleased with it! Many thanks to my publisher, Kelsay Books, for their great work. The approximate publishing date is April. I can't wait to hold it in my hands, and I hope many of you feel the same way. ;—)

Poem: ICE Killed a Poet—Renee Nicole Good all my understanding dribbles down the chin onto the chest & is summarized as:

I connect with the news that Renee Nicole Good was a poet, and yet the Trump administration has maliciously branded her, without the benefit of a full investigation, a perpetrator of domestic terrorism. This we know: ICE shot and the poet is dead.

Revised poem for January 6. Never forget. Never give up.

Pentagon cuts Sen. Mark Kelly’s military retirement pay as punishment over ‘illegal orders’ video | CNN Politics Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth announced Monday that the Pentagon is taking administrative action to punish Sen. Mark Kelly, a retired Navy captain, by cutting his retirement pay for participating ...

Sec of War Crimes, Hegseth wants to send the message to every single retired service member that if they say something he or Trump doesn’t like, even if it is true, they will come after them the same way.

This is what happens when an alcoholic TV host runs the military.

Nice try, Donnie, but we’re keeping our eye on the ball. What about the Epstein files? And why did you say you’d release them them push hard to suppress them? This issue ain’t going away.

My first poetry chapbook, "Talking to Irwin," should be published in 2026 by Kelsay Books. I will be posting about the publication date when available, where the book can be purchased, times and dates for a release event and (hopefully) readings in Louisville, Pittsburgh, and other venues.

Exciting news - we're officially on the ballot! Together with our family and friends, Dean and I traveled to Frankfort to file my candidacy to serve as your next State Senator for District 6. This moment would not be possible without the encouragement, love, and support so many of you have provided.

I have had two poems accepted for publication in volume 2 of Abundance Literary Magazine. The issue, the theme of which is Man-Made Nature, will be published on Dec. 13. I'm very grateful for this recognition. #Abundance

How about recycling them? Oh, wait! Too damn ecological for THIS administration.

Don’t forget Georgia, where two Democrats won statewide election to the Public Service Commission in what could be a good sign for Sen. Jon Ossoff’s reelection. But there’s still a lot of work to do. DON’T TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF THE GAS.

Vote for Mikie!

Someone ought to tell our “fearless” Secretary of State to stay out of the internal affairs of another country. After all, we wouldn’t want Russia interfering in our affairs. Oh, wait! They already have!
