And there you go. Donald Trump is using footage and photos his campaign took at Arlington National Cemetary for political purposes -- against the rules and laws that govern this hallowed ground. Arlington officials tried to stop him from politicizing the cemetery, and Trump staff physically attacked them. This whole episode is sickening and affront to all those hundreds of thousands of families who never agreed to allow their deceased loved ones to be dragged into politics.

Reminder that the abortion pill and the morning after-pill are NOT the same 🚫 EC is used to PREVENT a pregnancy, not to terminate an already existing pregnancy. Both are safe and effective, but serve different purposes!

Did you know it's possible to have type 2 diabetes without even knowing it?
Today is National Diabetes Alert Day, and in the latest from our audio storytelling series, we sit down with Melissa Moore, of Perry Co., who's a living example of how diabetes can show up unannounced.

It's been 65 days since HB 180, a common sense bill to protect us and our neighbors from electric shut-offs, has sat without movement in Frankfort. Thousands of Kentuckians have suffered in the meantime. Call and demand HOUSE leadership put HB 180 in a committee!

Country music is inextricable from Black culture, no matter how much the music industry has tried to separate them. Beyoncé’s new country songs could force a long-overdue change to how we think about a genre.
