Jack Smith: "History teaches that the rule of law is rarely destroyed all at once. It's often weakened by attacks on the institutions and the public servants sworn to uphold it. Since January 2025, we have witnessed precisely such an effort."

If you haven’t watched Jimmy Kimmel’s interview from last night, you should. The FCC and this administration are constantly trying to squash the resistance, but the resistance always finds a way around them. They can keep trying to silence people. It isn’t working. Tomorrow there will be more of us!

Yesterday we said goodbye to a literary giant and a great Kentuckian, Wendell Berry. His writing reminded us to live simply and to love our neighbors.

I was just 2 weeks old when Mitch McConnell was first elected to the Senate. He has spent my lifetime screwing over Kentucky to build the Swamp. But this is it. The seat is open. And we’re taking it back. For the working people of Kentucky, we will win and finally drain Mitch’s swamp.

Mitch McConnell helped gut the Voting Rights Act. Andy Barr will gladly take what’s left and set it on fire. We are going to defeat the anti-democracy politics of McConnell and Barr, flip the Senate, and pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act.
