Seventh US service member killed in Iran war is identified as Army sergeant | CNN Politics A US soldier died after sustaining injuries during an attack last week in Saudi Arabia, the military said, bringing the number of American troops killed in the Iran war to seven.

On top of the several amazing service men and women who have given their lives, we've just found out a Kentuckian died in this reckless war of choice.

We need Congress to rein in this senseless war.

This war was completely the President's choosing. He's made no attempt to explain his goals or endgame to the American people. Congress should pass the bipartisan War Powers Resolutions and hold him accountable. If they won't, we will in November.

What’s happening in Iran does nothing to help Central Kentucky. It won’t lower our costs or curb the corruption and chaos this administration has unleashed.

As a Navy veteran and former federal prosecutor, I know what it means to serve this country. War should be a last resort and come with a full explanation to the American people and approval from Congress.

This isn’t about election integrity. This is about the corrupt DOJ leadership trying to interfere in our state’s election process and get your private voter information.

It was an honor to tell my story to the New York Times - momentum is on our side, and our race is continuing to get national attention.

After Trump’s Cuts, Some Former Federal Workers Are Now Seeking Office

Public servants all across the country are running for office.

They couldn’t sit back as self-serving career politicians corrupted the institutions that are meant to serve us, and like me, they believe what government can do when it works for the people.

Folks are still worried about affordability whether or not they voted for Donald Trump or not, and this administration and its enablers in this Republican-led Congress are making prices worse and worse.

Started the morning bright and early on MSNOW talking about my story and what we’re hearing all around the district in Central Kentucky.

Americans Are the Ones Paying for Tariffs, Study Finds New research contradicts President Trump’s claim that foreigners are footing the bill.

Our bourbon distillers, auto workers, and manufacturers are getting crushed by these tariffs. This isn't smart trade policy.

Central Kentucky deserves leaders who'll fight for commonsense and our wallets, not political talking points.

Money can’t vote, and we’re only going to work harder in the days until the primary election on May 19 and run through the tape, but it’s a clear sign that momentum is on our side as we get closer to the primary.

Let’s win this!

It’s official. We outraised the entire Democratic field combined for the second quarter in a row and bested the GOP frontrunners in this race.

He left Trump's DOJ. Now he's running for Congress in Kentucky Zach Dembo is part of an ever-growing club of prosecutors who have left the DOJ under Trump. Now, he wants to push back by running for U.S. Congress.

Career politicians have failed us. People are upset with what they’re seeing on both sides of the aisle, and it’s clear we need new perspectives in Washington to clean up the mess.

It's also a time to reflect and recommit. We can't let the progress we've made toward equality be eroded. We can't allow history, especially the historic obstacles and struggles of the many brave Black Americans who came before us going back to Jamestown, to be erased.

On the campaign trail, I've been speaking with leaders in the Black and all of our communities who are doing the daily work to elevate perspectives and secure equality for everyone, regardless of skin color.

Their leadership matters, and it's important we listen and don't take them for granted.

Happy Black History Month.

This is a time to celebrate the culture, voices, and stories of Black Americans, a brave and unyielding force for change throughout our nation's history.

ICE agents must be held to the same standards as all law enforcement. There cannot be two tiers of justice.

In Congress, I'll fight for accountability and the safe communities Americans deserve.

We talked about what inspired me to step up and run for office and the current events - from tariffs to international affairs - that keep me up at night and inspired me to run.
I hope you’ll take a second to listen, share, and support my campaign in May if you like what you hear.

Grocery price inflation is picking up, defying Trump's claims. Here's why. Food prices are rising at their fastest monthly pace since 2022, data showed.

Grocery prices are sky-high, and Central Kentuckians can’t afford to flip the bill.

To no one’s surprise, tariffs are hurting our country, and career politicians aren’t doing anything to stop it.

We need leaders who will stand up to this madness in Washington.

And the bullying, violent and repressive behavior we’re seeing from the administration cannot be allowed to distract state and local law enforcement from their vital work of nonpartisan public safety.

As a former prosecutor, I know a thorough, transparent investigation is essential - and when it’s concluded, the findings must be made public and those responsible held accountable.
