Thank you to Gov. Abigail Spanberger for her leadership to help pass this measure and protect our democracy. 2/2

Virginia voters sent a clear message rejecting Trump's attacks on our free and fair elections. The passage of the redistricting referendum is an important step to level the playing field and stop the President from rigging the midterms. 1/2
The president is claiming he "makes people better."
I'm not sure what reality he's living in, but cutting Medicaid and taking away affordable health care for millions of Americans doesn't make us "better."
Last week, the president threatened to end a civilization.
Now, he's attacking the Pope and posting an image of himself as Jesus.
Not American. Not Christian. Not presidential.
The funeral of Tech. Sgt. Ashley Pruitt is today in Kentucky. I ask the entire nation to join us in praying for her family and fellow service members. God bless this American hero who sacrificed everything serving our country — she will never be forgotten.
Our country deserves so much better. 2/2
The day Trump launched this war, he couldn’t tell us what the strategic objectives were. Now, his VP can’t even tell us what countries are included in the so-called truce. Meanwhile the price of gas has skyrocketed, hurting our struggling families even more. 1/2
An American President threatening to end a civilization is not just anti-American, it’s flat out crazy.
Happy Easter, everyone. As we give thanks for this time of renewal, I feel hopeful for what's ahead. Times have been tough, but Americans are strong and resilient, and we can get through anything together.
This Good Friday, let us remember that faith is a force for good. Our Savior could have chosen to be the Prince of Power but instead chose to be the Prince of Peace. Let's lift up our neighbors and be kind to each other.
Passover is a reminder to us all of the enduring power of faith. To our Jewish neighbors across the world, Britainy and I hope you have a meaningful celebration full of love and happiness.
I've gotten to spend the last 20 years married to my best friend. I'm the luckiest guy around. Happy anniversary, Britainy. Let's keep having fun.
Trump and Vance promised American families lower prices. Instead, grocery prices are expected to rise by 6% or more due to fuel costs from the Iran war. Their broken promises are causing folks to struggle. It's time for change, and voters are prepared to deliver.
Today is the interment of Sgt. Benjamin Pennington, an American hero who sacrificed everything serving our country. God bless him, his family and his fellow service members. Our commonwealth is mourning our fellow Kentuckian, and we ask the entire nation to send their prayers.
The Affordable Care Act was signed into law 16 years ago today, saving tens of thousands of American lives by expanding access to affordable health care. The cruel decision by Congress to not extend these credits will stop that progress and cost lives. They should be ashamed.
About to take the stage in the Cincy suburb, where JD Vance is actually from. This doesn’t appear to be where his book full of poverty tourism and tired stereotypes against my people is set.
JD Vance got rich insulting the people of Appalachia. And though he pretends he’s from Kentucky, he’s actually from Butler County, Ohio — where I'll be on Saturday night in a room full of fired-up Democrats.
When certain out-of-state, self-serving billionaires and the Wall Street Journal editorial page are against you, you know you’re doing the right thing. Do something the WSJ was too afraid to do: Read why I vetoed a backdoor school voucher bill in Kentucky. www.kentucky.com/opinion/op-e...
My prayers are with the families of the six American service-members killed in an aircraft crash in Iraq — including Tech. Sgt. Ashley Pruitt of Bardstown, Kentucky. They are heroes who sacrificed everything serving our country, and we, as Americans, must always remember and honor them.
As a product of public schools, I will never lose faith in our system. If we want to ensure every American child gets a world-class education, the answer is not diverting students and dollars from public education - but instead, providing sufficient resources to fix it.
Gas prices are up.
Groceries are too expensive.
Homeownership doesn't seem possible.
Things aren't feeling "great" for hardworking Americans. The President should be making decisions that help our families, not ones that make their lives harder.
"Do not let evil defeat you; instead, conquer evil with good." Romans 12:21
Kindness is so much more powerful than hate.
The American people and American businesses have paid 90% of President Trump’s tariffs – at a time when costs are already too high. The Supreme Court ruled his tariffs aren’t legal. Now he’s trying to do a workaround to push his agenda.
We suggest he stop.
America, our neighbor is not our enemy. We must focus on kindness and strengthening the bonds of our communities to heal this country we love so much.
We have learned that at least four of the soldiers killed in the Iran attacks were assigned to an Iowa unit operating under the 1st Theater Sustainment Command out of Fort Knox. We grieve with the families of the lost and hope they know that Kentucky cares for and supports them.
America, let’s join together and pray for the families of the now six soldiers killed in attacks by Iran — including those based out of my home state, Kentucky. Let’s wrap our arms around them during this difficult time.
Today we mourn the loss of three American heroes from the Iran attacks. Our prayers are with their families.
