As a member of the @democrats.org Rules and Bylaws Committee, I am incredibly proud of the thoughtful process we undertook that produced what is one of the most diverse and impactful early presidential primary calendars in our party history.

It is easy to relegate the struggle, Dr. King, his experiences, and his faith in a better society to some long ago history. But the current administration has made it clear that we cannot be passive about fighting for right when there are those who are impatient to do wrong. We must be the change.

After seeing texts from young Republicans embracing racism, it’s clear that the party of Lincoln has embraced becoming the party of Trump. Trump’s rise to power was founded, in part, by characterizing President Barack Obama as unAmerican and not a true depiction of American exceptionalism.

I'm on my way to the House to try and kill this bill. We need just four Republicans to have the courage to vote no. Because they know this bill hurts people.

Look folks, the GOP doesn’t give a damn about me. I’m a Democrat who grew up poor, in rural Kentucky, where I still live and I’m barely in the middle class. But here’s the thing…they don’t give a damn about you either, whether you voted for them or not.

There’s trust in @kenmartin.bsky.social and his record fundraising shows there’s confidence in his visionary investments in critical areas like our state parties. Ken doesn’t run from the hard work and knows the noise isn’t the work, winning elections and making people’s lives better is.

The leader of the party held liable for sexual assault & hellbent on criminalizing women’s reproductive care plans to appoint an official who helped pardon murderers & child rapists in the last MAGA KY admin. For God sakes, start over! But Trump lacks conscience, competence, & empathy, entirely.

apnews.com/article/rura... National media may miss it, but we show up because it’s how you build trust and win. As a son of rural KY & Chair of @KyDems, I’m proud to work with the best Gov in the nation to keep listening, building & investing in our communities. It’s hard work—and it’s worth it.

"Chats With The Chair" is up, and we’re talking Medicaid. Trump would rather KY families be sick and broke than ask his rich friends to pay up. Cutting Medicaid means kids suffer, parents face brutal choices. While Musk wins, KY loses. #MedicaidMatters #KYDeservesBetter youtu.be/K0E_vdr2eRc

Episode Two of ‘Chats With The Chair’ is up! This week, we’re talking about the importance of protecting our weather and disaster services, some of which Donald Trump has either promised to defund, already defunded, cut vital staff, or called “wasteful!” No, Donald! Just No! #ky #TrumpCuts

The first episode of Friday Chats With Colmon is here! We're talking about how Tariffs=Trump Tax, how the tariff war is one even some Trump loyalists call "stupid," & how it is bad for Kentucky families, businesses, manufacturing, our farms, and rural communities. youtu.be/GhwudwN4mJ8

Gov. @andybeshearky.bsky.social -.bsky.social knows tough races, defeating Mitch McConnell's hand-picked candidate in a state Donald Trump won by more than 30 points. As President of @demstateparties.bsky.social, I'll bring this playbook to compete and win across our 57 states and territories.
