Tricia McLaughlin: “No one is above the law, (except a felon in the White House) and if you lay a hand on a law enforcement officer, you will face consequences. (Unless you are beating police officers at the Capitol on J6, because then you get a pardon and can get your guns back.)”

Fixed it!

Health is not a privilege
Health is a universal human right.

So much winning, Kentucky.

I'd like to stop playing now.
Canadian MP Charlie Angus: So here’s how it’s going to go down—this is going to be very rough. But the big wake-up call is for our American friends.

For example, Kentucky—the number one purchaser of Kentucky spirits in the world is Canada, and all our provinces have just pulled it off the shelves.

Seriously. WTF does this mean? They still teach clear and effective communication in school. Looks like someone just didn't do the homework.

I know that far too many people on social media essentially act like "if you don't directly describe everything you do, then you're not doing anything at all," but please, please, please realize that the revolution will not be televised.

Active resisters don't talk about their resistance.
Ummm I don't know who needs to hear this but if you have a family member who is a federal employee

DO NOT BROADCAST ON SOCIAL MEDIA ABOUT IT OR ANY RESISTANCE ACTIONS THEY MIGHT BE TAKING

NEW: Immigrants bring much more than economic contributions, but misinformation used to demonize our neighbors makes it necessary to quantify their contributions to KY’s economy.

Had a convo today with a #Kentucky person who wants it to be harder to get #Medicaid benefits because they had to fight to get them for their daughter. Harder is just harder for ALL. It doesn't magically make it easy for you cause "you need it more". #healthpolicy

The new Justice Department leadership has put a freeze on civil rights litigation and suggested it will reconsider police reform agreements negotiated by the Biden administration. This could include the one in Louisville, which was spurred by the killing of Breona Taylor & subsequent protests.

If you have kids, remember that #childcare is on the chopping block.
The Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit is the largest tax cut for child care on the books today. It saves parents thousands of dollars per year. Republicans have plans to eliminate it.
