Beshear on Tariffs: Every economist is saying, don’t do it. It’s slowing down our economy. It could lead us into a recession. He inherited an economy that was growing more than most in the world, and he’s tanking it. He’s wrecking it.

DOGE signed an agreement with Louis DeJoy to slash 10,000 jobs from the already-understaffed USPS.
The USPS is the nation’s lifeline, ensuring delivery to every corner of the country.
We cannot allow it to be dismantled, sold off, and handed over to billionaires for profit.

Republicans are ready to throw Americans off Medicaid and SNAP so that they can give massive tax breaks to billionaires.
Every single Democrat in Congress voted against the Republican tax scam.
And Democrats will keep fighting with everything we have for hard working Americans.

How can we remove healthcare from the salary package that politicians receive from the government and force them to purchase it on the “free” market? I don’t want my tax dollars to pay for healthcare for a politician that is working to dismantle healthcare for Americans.

The Office of Personnel Management, now overseen by Elon Musk, just issued a memo to all heads of federal agencies ordering a startling change in the status of CIOs.
It signals Musk's potential move to take over the IT of the entire federal government.

We did not have a FAA administrator to respond to the tragic crash last night in DC. Why? Because Elon Musk pushed the head appointed under Biden to resign after he fined SpaceX for failing to follow safety license requirements. www.theverge.com/news/603113/...
The FAA is facing a major crisis without a leader because Elon Musk pushed him out

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978?
100%? 500%?
Try 1,085%
Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991.
This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.
