I was honored to attend the annual Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Breakfast in Scott County this morning at First Christian Church, hosted by the Georgetown-Scott County NAACP.

Grateful to see so many friends and to hear powerful words from Raymond Burse.

SNAP cuts could have big impact in Kentucky, including in its schools The passage of Trump's "Big, Beautiful Bill" brings significant changes to SNAP at a time when food insecurity is already high in Kentucky.

When kids are hungry, they canโ€™t learn.

When teachers are buying snacks instead of supplies, classrooms suffer.

Cutting SNAP hurts Kentuckyโ€™s kids and their schools. We need to invest in families, not punish them. #KY06

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

So proud of our Democratic members of Congress, right now! Theyโ€™re being blocked from the Dept. of Educationโ€”and theyโ€™re not having it.
