Haunted by ‘Dark Thoughts,’ Louisiana Father Kills 8 Children

If this man had murdered eight strangers the story would lead every news outlet. But because they are his children, it's "family violence," "domestic violence" -- undeserving of the same attention. Even though this violence is much more common

Russell Coleman @RCforAG · 7h A respectful reminder: Jacqueline Coleman isn’t my sister. She’s not my ex-wife. And she will never be Kentucky’s Governor.

One of the more... interesting... reactions to Lt. Gov. Jacqueline Coleman announcing she's running for Kentucky governor in 2027.

Hey, so, maybe pick literally anyone else who isn't the daughter of one of those four men to do these interviews???

Coonhounds and hellbenders: Lawmakers name new ‘official’ critters of Kentucky A bill given final passage on the final day of the 2026 General Assembly names new officials animals of Kentucky. Here’s what they are.

If the fact that I've written about eastern hellbenders twice this legislative session does not signal that I had a brief but intense phase of wanting to be a herpetologist as a child, then I don't know what does.

It used to be that newspapers would get public backlash whenever there was a story about gun violence on the front page the same day as an A1 ad for a gun show. (A not entirely uncommon occurrence in the South.)

Now there's... whatever this is.

The strategist behind X Strategies, which is paid by Nate Morris' campaign, called this "fake news."

A Morris spox said the campaign has “no relationship” with the influencers identified.

But an expert told us this seeming coordination has "all the hallmarks of a top-down astroturf campaign."

GOOD NIGHT ✌️

KY General Assembly Week 9: Nearly 1,300 bills. Could these add new state symbols? Also: A pathway to bring more doctors to Kentucky, an effort to limit alcohol sales to repeat DUI offenders and big changes to election law.

Guess what just got final passage to become our state amphibian. 🥹

In case you were wondering how the Kentucky General Assembly has handled being smacked down by the Supreme Court in the matter of Judge Goodman, I think we have enough evidence to suggest they didn't like it one bit.

(We've embedded the resolutions in these stories since they're not online yet.)

KY lawmaker says Supreme Court’s judicial impeachment ruling unconstitutional The Republican lawmaker, vice chair of the House impeachment committee, filed a resolution Wednesday declaring the ruling was unconstitutional.

Reminder: The General Assembly does not rule on the constitutionality of laws or rulings — that authority rests with the Supreme Court.

KY Senate vows to revisit Lexington judge’s impeachment if judicial group doesn’t act The Senate committee voted to table an impeachment effort against Fayette Circuit Judge Julie Goodman but vowed to revisit it if an oversight group doesn’t act.

Judge Goodman's impeachment proceedings are formally tabled. But the Senate said they will act if the Judicial Conduct Commission does not sanction Goodman.

They vowed to revist the issue and doubled down on their Constitutional right to impeach.
