In a way, I find the authoritarian takeover of our media system even more disturbing than the authoritarian takeover of our political system.
Our political system has been failing basically my entire adult life. But, the media system provided accountability and sort of worked. Now it’s collapsing.

The number of licensed mental health providers in Kentucky has doubled since 2019. Health care is a basic human right - and mental health is just as important as physical health. And I'm proud we have more professionals ready to help those in need.
