So , uh…how old are you guys?

My wife says our Friday night date officially makes us old: 530 dinner followed by Ken Burns The American Revolution. I have no rebuttal.

DOMINO 3: No providers → patients delay care → $100 visit becomes $10K ER trip → KY taxpayers pay

Trump gave billionaires (like the wresling lady) trillions in tax cuts but can’t find the money to help Kentuckians become nurses and keep rural communities alive.

DOMINO 1: Kentuckians locked out of becoming the providers we need. -70 KY counties have ZERO OBs. These graduate degrees help nurses fill that gap.

DOMINO 2: Need doctoral nurses to teach nursing schools. Fewer professors → fewer seats at schools → fewer RNs at ALL levels.

The pro-wrestling lady continues to wreak havoc on our education system, this week restricting loans for Graduate-level nursing programs.

This is yet another broadside in the war on women and working families’ access to healthcare. Here are the dominos that will fall: 1/x

We need justice for the lives lost to fentanyl, not more lawlessness and violence in their names. TikTok video by Joel for Kentucky

A lot of Kentuckians - including my dad - have been lost to fentanyl. They deserve justice, not more violence in their names. But Trump is using their deaths to justify lawlessness and extrajudicial killings in the Carribean.

I’m running for the U.S. Senate for all those Kentuckians who don’t have a cool $500m in bitcoin laying around.

These people are not on your side.

Call me old fashioned, but back in my day when we had meetings in the Situation Room, it was to protect the country - not predators.

Happy Veterans Day to all who served. My service in uniform concluded a long time ago, but I hope we all as citizens remain committed to ensuring the sacrifices our veterans have made weren’t in vain.

Had a great time speaking with the Henderson County Democrats tonight. Kentucky is ready to turn the page on 42 years of Mitch McConnell.

Thanks to the @lawgunsmoney.bsky.social crew for having me!

Shared my convictions around maintaining a robust, non-partisan civil service and getting this government to try as hard for the working class as it does for the ultra wealthy .

Believe me ,I’m trying . Can’t do it without your support!

Thanks for saying this, @velshi.com

I’ve said it often when folks ask me why I’m running for the U.S. Senate. My generation of elder millennials has to get off the sidelines and in the game.

Call it what it is: a betrayal. I’m running for a U.S. Senate so working families in Kentucky aren’t invisible to this system any longer. TikTok video by Joel for Kentucky

Went to bed mad. Woke up mad. Working families deserve so much better than what the ode 8 senators gave them last night.

Thanks for being engaged. If we keep doing the same thing, we’ll keep getting the same results. Kentuckians deserve a senator who won’t sell them out and who understands Kentucky struggles.

Call it what it is: A betrayal. Working families just last week showed up all over the country for democrats because they believed democrats were fighting for them. And tonight, 8 senators threw in the towel on that fight in exchange for empty promises

Trump administration asks for emergency pause on judge's order to fully fund SNAP — NBC News The administration has said it cannot draw from money set aside for child nutrition programs, known as Section 32 funding, to pay for SNAP during the government shutdown.

Nothing says you’re looking out for working people like appealing a court order forcing you to feed the hungry.

You can’t run as a democrat in red state pretending to be a republican…voters see through that…they don’t like it.

Mikie Sherrill and Abigail Spanberger taking a selfie together

Good morning to these future governors!

Notably, Spinal Tap was able to hold on to their first female drummer.

This administration’s policies continue to fail working families across Kentucky and the country. Voters will hold it accountable. Last night’s election results were just the beginning.

Congrats to my former CIA colleague Abigail Spanberger and to Mikie Sherrill on their election wins tonight - unmistakable victories for working families and those who want calm, steady leadership.

And because some democrats have trouble saying it, congrats to New Yorkers and Zohran Mamdani!

My thoughts are with the families of the flight crew, airport workers, and our first responders who are working in dangerous conditions to protect the community.

Thanks! Where did you end up?

The other half of the room is blocked by my camera angle. Very active and engaged group!
