Longest. Republican. Government. Shutdown. Ever.
This is the longest government shutdown in American history.

All because Republicans refuse to lower health care costs or fund food assistance.

Open enrollment on kynect, Kentucky's health insurance marketplace, starts tomorrow and a lot of people are in for a shock.

Kentuckians like Kara need Congress to extend health insurance subsidies now.

Democrat Abigail Spanberger was elected governor of Virginia, the first woman to hold the office.

The race, one of only two gubernatorial contests this year with New Jersey’s, offered Democrats a test ground for rebuilding ahead of the 2026 midterms.

We are about to enter Day 3 of the Republican shutdown. Your regular reminders:

1. Republicans control the White House, the Senate and the House.

2. Democrats are fighting to lower costs, cancel the cuts and save healthcare for Americans.

Political violence has no place in our democracy. We reject intimidation, threats, and harm, and instead choose respect and dialogue. Our nation is strongest when disagreements are addressed with civility. Lexington Democrats remain committed to treating one another with dignity.

What “wonderful secret” was Trump hiding with his “pal” Jeffrey Epstein?

The American people deserve to know.
🚨🚨HERE IT IS: We got Trump’s birthday note to Jeffrey Epstein that the President said doesn’t exist.

Governor @andybeshearky.bsky.social has always been a voice of reason in chaotic times.

From breaking economic development records to a pandemic, natural disasters and now threats from harmful GOP policies, we’re grateful for his leadership in the best and worst of times.

Gov. @andybeshearky.bsky.social’s latest victory against Trump restored $9 million in AmeriCorps funding for Kentucky.

Combined with the $96 million in education funding he already secured, that's real money making a real difference for Kentucky families.
