Kentucky voters voted NO on an anti-choice ballot measure that would have amended the state constitution to permanently ban abortion! The advocates and volunteers who carried the message to voters in KY deserve all our thanks – this was a hard fight but you never gave up.

Long lines at some Kentucky counties, including in Lexington, may mean that some polling places will stay open past 6 p.m. local time. If you are in line by 6 p.m. you will be allowed to vote.

Btw, there were 180 strikes involving 78,000 workers in the first six months of 2022. At this time last year, there were 102 strikes involving 26,500 workers.
There isn’t a “labor shortage." There is a wage shortage.
Working people are tired of being exploited for their labor.

And there it is - bonuses to senior management based on short term financial targets such as share price is driving increasingly toxic behaviour that does not benefit real investment or workers’ pay.
Quote Tweet
Of course, there is. The management of companies screwing their companies to pay excess dividends do it to inflate the share prices of those companies. And their directors’ bonuses are almost always related to increases in that share price. In that case their exploitation pays.

A few voters that don’t vote down ticket have told me today that they aren’t going to vote for Massie because he’s so divisive. “Massie’s a drumbeater … wanting to make politics into sides,” said Campbell County voter Stephen Groh, who drove out to Falmouth.

Israel receives $3.8 billion of foreign aid from hard working American taxpayers each year. That vote was to send them another (unbudgeted) $1 billion. A majority of my constituents don’t think Israel needs more of their money, so I voted for my constituents. twitter.com/MotiAnkari/sta…

Proud of our Chair and candidates led by for sharing our vision for Kentucky and our country at Fancy Farm.
It's sick, but not surprising that Republicans who shared the stage with them and their supporters used such hateful, divisive language.

Since the Supreme Court gutted Roe v. Wade, Democratic lawmakers have proposed workarounds to codify protections for abortion rights. Which is why activists are pointing to a solution that wouldn’t require input from Congress: The Equal Rights Amendment.

Kentucky, you have every reason to be frustrated. We have been abandoned by politicians like Rand Paul, and division is tearing us apart. The system is not working.
Now is our time to change that. Let’s win this Senate race, and stand united for our future.

BREAKING: Chad Meredith won’t be a federal judge.
We spoke up, and made everyone listen. But let’s be clear, the ONLY reason Rand Paul opposed McConnell’s anti-humanity, anti-abortion judge was so he could appoint his own. This is a petty power game. Both of them need to go.
