After this tragedy, @GovAndyBeshear has a very simple takeaway:
"I just wish we'd show a little more love and a lot less of the hate... We're taught as kids to show love & kindness, we're taught in church to show love & kindness, it doesn't have to be that complicated." #KYGov
Sending hugs to all personally connected with the victims of today's shooting, and to the entire community traumatized by this violence. May our compassion to each other and to ourselves grow from this, and our resolve to fight for common sense gun laws strengthen

Linda Blackford: Kentucky's politicians are already sending us thoughts and prayers after yet another mass shooting. Grab your bullhorns and tell them that what we want is for them to act on gun violence. bit.ly/3zIXm98 ^JC

It is time to address common sense gun legislation. KY requires all guns confiscated in the state to be resold on the open market. Will not even discuss red flag laws in the legislature. No office of gun safety. Thoughts and prayers are not enough! It is past time for action.

Kentucky’s gun laws are among the worst in the US, and the state has the 13th-highest rate of gun violence. Kentucky lawmakers passed permitless carry in 2019 and continue to introduce dangerous bills to arm teachers and force guns on campus.

All parents should role play Christmas prep as superheroes. “Wonder Woman clocking in at 4 am to stuff the stockings before the kids wake up.”
Merry Christmas, y’all.

There's some confusion that the state is cutting the income tax rate and then "replacing" it with a sales tax on a few obscure services. Let's be clear: what they're doing is blowing a huge hole in KY's revenue stream. 1/

90% of Kentuckians support legalizing medical cannabis, yet the legislature has repeatedly failed to do it. Today I took action, signing an executive order allowing those suffering from certain medical conditions to possess and use small amounts of medical cannabis on Jan. 1.
Excited to see @MorganMcGarvey in this pic!
Proud to introduce the next class of @USProgressives today. With these members, our Dem Caucus is not only going to be more progressive - it is also going to double down on delivering real transformative change for working people in this country.
Sigh. People need to understand how campaign finance and party mechanics work A WHOLE LOT MORE before they cast their POV as fact. I am done with the “I’m smart because I know 10% of what happened” presented as the whole picture.
