In this season, I know a lot of people are hurting. Many of us are grieving. If your heart is heavy and your head is low, I just wanted to hold space for you.
May we all cherish the memories that warm our hearts, and take advantage of every chance we get to show kindness, gratitude, and love.

Family, I know we are all reflecting on the magnitude of this moment in time. I certainly am. There have been calls for me to make another run for U.S. Senate.
I want you to know I am taking a strong look at it.

Mark Kelly is a hero and a patriot. His reminder that no service member should be compelled to obey an unlawful order is neither controversial nor seditious.
I’m taking the word of a Navy Veteran and NASA astronaut over Donald Trump and TV Host Pete Hegseth every day of the week.

Mitch McConnell was elected to the Senate when I was 2 weeks old. So glad his time in office is almost over.

I will never cross a picket line.
The workers at Starbucks are demanding to be treated fairly, and I proudly stand in solidarity with them. I definitely won’t be spending money at a place that refuses to address unfair labor practices.
No contract, no coffee.

There are many things I strongly disagree with Rand Paul on. Hell, I ran against him. That said, he is right to push back on Mitch McConnell’s effort to ban hemp products. It would crush farmers and small businesses in Kentucky and across the country. We should all stand and oppose it.

I rationed my insulin to afford food for my daughters. Watching these out of touch politicians treat food and healthcare like bargaining chips is sickening.

This morning, I am thinking about the veterans who courageously served our country, but now live on the streets. The veterans on SNAP and Medicaid who are scrapping to survive. Those suffering deep pain and trauma, but don’t get the help they need.

Chances are, you or someone you know needs SNAP to have enough food to survive. Just remember: Trump is fighting tooth and nail to make sure they can’t get it.

UPDATE: The news of relief is short lived, as Trump is now appealing to the Supreme Court to block the order requiring his administration to follow the law and fund SNAP. The lengths they are going to leave Americans hungry is wild. Absolutely heinous.

Good news, family! The USDA has confirmed that SNAP benefits will be fully funded for November. This came after a federal judge rejected the Trump admin’s plan to offer partial funds for food aid. Food should never be a negotiating tool, and I am glad to see the USDA work to comply with court order.

Hey Kentucky, I heard a lot of you tried to get out to vote yesterday. Although we don’t have elections yet, I understand how you feel. We are determined and fired up for the change we need to see, and we know it can’t wait.
If you’re already inspired to vote, keep that energy. 2026 will be big.
