Trump tried to use starving Americans as political leverage by cutting SNAP benefits during a shutdown for the first time in history. There isn't anything Christian about that.
Happy birthday to the other Governor Beshear – my dad, Steve. We love you.
Lexington, wow – I am at a loss for words. Y’all made the start of my book tour so special, and I couldn’t be more thankful. “Go and Do Likewise” is all about reclaiming faith as a force for good, and the kindness I saw today shows us all what’s possible. Thank you.

My favorite people. And of course, Winnie!
Democratic Governor of Kentucky Andy Beshear reacts to Vice President JD Vance’s recent speech at the GOP Midterm Convention, saying that the president "says racist things and does racist things."

These American heroes must never be forgotten. God bless them, their families and our great country.
There are more than 80,000 Americans who remain unaccounted for after leaving home to defend our country. In Kentucky we recognize their sacrifices every day by permanently flying the POW/MIA flag above our Capitol. It is our sacred duty to honor these heroes and their families.

We need sound, reasonable policy that delivers affordable electricity to hardworking Americans and, at the same time, protects our environment. It doesn't have to be either/or – and it certainly isn't red or blue.

Another chance to wage war and raise gas and grocery prices? No, thank you.
Election Day is seven weeks away. And with competitive races across the country, we are going on offense.
That's why we're launching our Expand the Map Fund, to make sure Democratic governors can compete everywhere ➡️

Reminder: Less than a week until my new book, "Go And Do Likewise," hits the shelves. And I'm hitting the road on tour! I hope to see y'all out there:
This month, we celebrate the culture, history and contributions of Hispanic and Latino Americans. Our country is special because of the people who call it home, and diversity is a strength – never a weakness.
Happy Hispanic Heritage Month.

My book comes out in just one week; this is your last chance to pre-order a copy! I can't wait to hear what you think.
No American should be denied their right to vote by mail, and thankfully the U.S. Supreme Court agrees. Our elections are safe and secure, and Trump's attempts to cast doubt without evidence are a desperate attempt to rig the midterms in his favor.
It's not working.

Medical debt overwhelms hardworking families who are already struggling. It also prevents them from securing the American Dream of owning a home, due to bad credit. By relieving medical debt, we can do a lot more than just clearing a billing statement – we can change a life for the better.

Medical debt isn't a choice – it's what people are faced with after a serious accident, cancer diagnosis or more. Today I took a step to relieve $250 million in medical debt for more than 130,000 Kentuckians.

While Trump attacks the hospitals that care for American families, I'm working to secure the money they are owed to protect the lifesaving care our people depend on.
My administration has secured more than $18 million in additional FEMA disaster funds to reimburse 10 Kentucky hospitals for expenses from the pandemic. When you combine that with what we secured in May, that's more than $118.5 million helping hospitals.

Can’t beat a Kentucky sunset.
Our country saw the highest gas prices in history for Labor Day weekend this year. American families shouldn't have to pay for the worst economic and foreign policies I've seen in my lifetime. One person is responsible – and that's Donald Trump.

I’m not afraid to throw elbows – and axes – to show up for working people.
Thanks to the Bluegrass Central Labor Council for including me at this year’s Labor Day celebration.
