The National Urban League is right: We don't need to recreate the American Dream; we need to restore it for working families across our country. That doesn't mean a select few – that means every person, in every community, from all different backgrounds.

I know there are a lot of folks wondering about the significance of August 3 regarding a potential Senate vacancy. I want everyone to know that this date has no legal impact on my options should there be a vacancy this year. 1/2
How we enforce our laws as a country shows our humanity. In just one week, ICE agents have killed two more people. Americans and the families of Joan Sebastian Guerrero, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, Renée Good and Alex Pretti deserve transparency and answers.
I publicly and privately urged the last administration to address the public’s concerns with the former president’s health. I’m calling on Sen. McConnell to do the same and provide voters an update on his own health. Let’s end the crazy speculation. Just tell us what’s going on.
She lights up the world and is the best person I know. Happy birthday, Britainy. No one deserves to be celebrated more than you. Will, Lila, Winnie and I love you so much.
So proud of Will! He’s worked so hard for this moment.
For 250 years, our great democracy has continued, but it is something we must never take for granted. As Americans, we must remember the values of our great country and stand united in protecting them as we work to create a better tomorrow for all our people.
Showing love and kindness is always the right thing to do.
To our LGBTQ+ neighbors: We love you for being you. Happy Pride, y'all.
It was great to be in South Carolina, a state that is standing up to Trump, rejecting his disgraceful redistricting attempts, and showing the power of the people. The Palmetto State is fired up and ready to deliver change come November and I'm going to help.
President and party should never come before the American people. This November, we'll show Trump and his hand-picked candidates that the people demand more than rising prices, a billion-dollar ballroom and a war no one asked for.
To honor the heroes who sacrificed for our freedom and country, we must commit to a more perfect union by finding common ground and moving our country forward for everyone. God bless our fallen heroes and their families, and God bless the United States of America.
Scripture states, “If you have faith as big as a mustard seed, you can say to this hill, ‘Go from here to there!’ and it will go. You could do anything!” Keep the faith, folks – a little goes a long way and will help us get through the tougher days.
Thomas Massie and I don’t agree on much. But billionaires and special interest groups spent $35 million in Kentucky to unseat one conservative congressman — all because he stood up to Trump. It’s everything that's wrong with our politics today.
After yesterday's primary, we've got some great Kentucky Democrats ready to lead the way in November. Congratulations to all those who secured a nomination. Let's keep building on the success we're seeing by focusing on the things that matter most to our families.
Its primary day in several states across the country, including right here in Kentucky. I hope everyone will make their voices heard.
The Trump administration and its policies are making life harder and more expensive for American families. Every dollar makes a difference right now, which is why I am doing everything in my power to help Kentucky families. Leaders across our country should do the same.
Gas prices have dropped by 10 cents in Kentucky following my executive order to reduce the gas tax. Every step counts when prices are rising and hurting our families, and this action is set to save Kentuckians nearly $27 million in one month.
To all the moms who make our world go round, happy Mother's Day. And a special shout out to Britainy and my mom, Jane – we love y'all.
Trump and Vance are making billionaires even richer and hurting American families who are struggling to make ends meet. It's time for leadership that puts our families first – not last.
We celebrate her every day, but today is extra special — it’s Winnie’s 7th birthday!
Violence has no place in the United States of America. The political violence we are seeing must end – and it must be condemned by all.
Gas prices aren't the only thing rising from bad policy decisions by Trump and Vance. The disapproval rating for the President is now up to 60%.
Virginia voters sent a clear message rejecting Trump's attacks on our free and fair elections. The passage of the redistricting referendum is an important step to level the playing field and stop the President from rigging the midterms. 1/2
The president is claiming he "makes people better." I'm not sure what reality he's living in, but cutting Medicaid and taking away affordable health care for millions of Americans doesn't make us "better."
Last week, the president threatened to end a civilization. Now, he's attacking the Pope and posting an image of himself as Jesus. Not American. Not Christian. Not presidential.
The funeral of Tech. Sgt. Ashley Pruitt is today in Kentucky. I ask the entire nation to join us in praying for her family and fellow service members. God bless this American hero who sacrificed everything serving our country — she will never be forgotten.
The day Trump launched this war, he couldn’t tell us what the strategic objectives were. Now, his VP can’t even tell us what countries are included in the so-called truce. Meanwhile the price of gas has skyrocketed, hurting our struggling families even more. 1/2
An American President threatening to end a civilization is not just anti-American, it’s flat out crazy.
Happy Easter, everyone. As we give thanks for this time of renewal, I feel hopeful for what's ahead. Times have been tough, but Americans are strong and resilient, and we can get through anything together.
