I hear politicians say…

Medicare for All is too expensive.
Universal Childcare is too expensive.
Universal Basic Income is too expensive.
Nutrition assistance is too expensive.

But endless wars and regime change get a blank check.

Donald Trump is quite literally saying he wants the oil from Venezuela, and feckless politicians like Andy Barr and Daniel Cameron will still lie to protect him. This act of rogue imperialism has nothing to do with stopping drug trafficking. Any politician defending this is just as complicit.

Trump’s first act of 2026 was not to help you, not to make life more affordable, but to wage an illegal and unconstitutional war with Venezuela.

The inauguration of Mayor Zohran Mamdani to start the year is a powerful reminder that our movement for working people is alive. From Brooklyn, NY, to Bowling Green, KY, regular people want real solutions to everyday challenges.

The movement in 2026 will be historic.

Hey family.

For my first post in the new year, I just want to tell you I love you. I am proud to be on this journey with you, and I am humbled to do all I can to fight by your side in 2026. I know we got a lot of work to do, and I’m here for it.

Let’s stand together and make some history.

In 2026, let’s resolve to lean into love, stand in the power of community, and lead a vision that uplifts humanity and prioritizes working families. While we’re at it, we’ll send Mitch McConnell off to retirement.

Happy New Year!

National Republicans are calling me the Zohran and AOC of Kentucky.

They really are terrified.

Call me what you want, but the people of Kentucky are fired up, fed up, and done with big money politicians screwing us over. In 2026, we are taking back our Senate seat.
December 31, 2025 at 10:51 PM
✅ Leading the Democratic Primary
✅ Within 7 points of the Republican frontrunner
✅ Up 15 points with KY Voters age 18-45 over the Republican frontrunner

Pundits say my vision and policies are too progressive to win in Kentucky, but the people say differently.

Let’s take back this Senate seat.

NEW POLL ALERT!!!

In a general election head to head to decide Kentucky’s next U.S. Senator, we are already within single digits of the Republican frontrunner!

Our momentum is real.
Our path is clear.
Together, we will win!

There is so much I can say about my daughter, Prestyn.

She is sweet, caring, creative, brilliant, radiant, and courageous. She has the heart of a nurturer, and always looks for ways to help others and show kindness.

I believe no one should have to ration medicine or go bankrupt for a surgery in the United States.

We need Medicare for All.

Thinking about my Maw Maw today, and all the cherished lights we lost this year. The holidays can be a painful time. May the memories we hold be a balm. 🙏🏾
December 25, 2025 at 6:34 PM
Wishing you peace, love, new beginnings, and memories that stand the test of time.

May this day rise beyond just the commercial symbolism and political agendas, and instead remind us of the true teachings of Jesus that inspire us all to walk in love and service to humanity.

Merry Christmas.

We knew Trump was in the Epstein files. We knew it had to be bad based on how hard he has worked to block the files from being released.

But this is absolutely horrible. Disturbing. Disgusting. Indefensible.
December 23, 2025 at 9:17 PM
Allow me to reintroduce myself.

My name is Charles Booker.
December 19, 2025 at 10:04 PM
Good morning.

As required by the Epstein Files Transparency Act signed into law last month, Trump’s DOJ must release all of its files related to Jeffrey Epstein. Today is the deadline.

Cannabis should be legal.
December 18, 2025 at 8:33 PM
In no way should the United States be going to war with Venezuela. The president is a warmongering criminal, the notion of cracking down on drug trafficking was a farce, and this aggression should be opposed across the board.

We haven’t forgotten about the Epstein files either.
December 18, 2025 at 7:45 PM
This is the President of the United States.

This is disgusting, inhumane, and very consistent. This is exactly who he is.
December 15, 2025 at 8:21 PM
It is a gross and unacceptable mockery of faith for politicians to utter the words “thoughts and prayers” as the only possible way to respond to the policy-driven public health crisis of gun violence.
December 15, 2025 at 12:33 AM
I am tired of politicians exploiting and weaponizing religion to justify making it harder for people to eat, afford housing, and have healthcare.

My faith instructs me to center humanity, love, care and community.

Not greed.
Not hate.
Not degradation and division.
December 10, 2025 at 3:30 PM
Family, it is difficult to find the words. Today, a shooting took place on the campus of Kentucky State University. There are multiple injuries, and I am devastated to share that one person has lost their life.

This news is hitting me hard. Praying for our KSU family.

IMPORTANT CAMPAIGN ANNOUNCEMENT!

Now that our Senate campaign is officially underway, I want to make something abundantly clear.
December 8, 2025 at 9:34 PM
I am humbled, honored, and absolutely fired up to be running to become the next U.S. Senator for the Commonwealth of Kentucky.
