Quick.
Go to your pharmacy. Demand an 85% reduction on your drug prices. Tell them Trump sent you.
If that doesnβt work, tell him to support the bill I'm introducing that'll do it.
There is a reason why working families are falling further and further behind.
The cost of housing, health care and other basic necessities are rising much faster than wages.
Learn about an excellent study from the Ludwig Institute.
I'm always going to show up for Kentucky. I love this state with all my heart, and I know we will get through this challenge together. We always do.

Other countries understand how important it is to invest in their young people. We should be doing the same.

Republicans are trying to push through a bill that would throw 13M people off their insurance. All for a tax cut for the rich.
Thatβs the combined population of
West Virginia
Hawaii
New Hampshire
Maine
Montana
Rhode Island
both Dakotas
Alaska
Vermont
Wyoming
At a time when we already spend more on the military than the next nine nations combinedβ¦
At a time when everyone knows there is massive waste and fraud in the Pentagonβ¦
Trumpβs βbig, beautifulβ bill increases defense spending by $150 billion.
Outrageous.
73% of mothers with kids under 18 are in the workforce. More than flowers or brunch, working moms need:
-Paid family leave
-Equal pay
-Universal childcare
(But get your mom flowers, too)

Trump's education cuts steal $2,000 from EVERY Kentucky student β and even more from our vulnerable children.
His administration punishes children in poverty, with disabilities, and experiencing homelessness the hardest.
Don't let the KY GOP lead you to believe they care about Kentucky's kids.
If there aren't going to be institutional consequences for these people there absolutely HAVE to be social consequences. It's the only arrow in the quiver. If they don't want to occupy the same world as us, don't let them.
