“After the passage of the most harmful federal budget in American history, the RPK could not have chosen a headline speaker who better represents their political philosophy of selling out working families to benefit the ultra-wealthy. For decades, Senator Justice’s companies forced hard-working Kentucky coal miners to operate in life-threatening conditions, resulting in hundreds of thousands of dollars in health and safety fines..."

“Superwoke”? Well, What Did You Expect?
“Superwoke”? Well, What Did You Expect?
Seeing this latest moral panic over the upcoming Superman: Legacy movie embracing “pro-immigrant themes” is just about the least surprising thing I’ve seen all week. It’s funny — and honestly, tragic — how the same people ranting about so-called “woke” heroes will rush to church every Sunday to worship a man whose entire life was about radical compassion for outsiders.
Superman has always been about this. Always. The very essence of Superman is the story of an immigrant — a refugee, no less — sent away from a dying world by loving parents, landing in a strange land, raised with strong values, and dedicating his life to protecting those who can’t protect themselves. His origin story is practically Moses in a cape: sent away in a vessel by desperate parents hoping he’d survive, found by strangers, raised as their own, and destined to be a beacon of hope for his people.

“They’ll Get Over It”: Mitch McConnell’s Cold-Blooded Promise to Gut Kentucky’s Lifeline
In a moment that should shame every Kentuckian—every American, for that matter—Senator Mitch McConnell has reportedly brushed off concerns from fellow Republicans about proposed Medicaid cuts with a heartless shrug:
You Can't Ignore the Working Class Forever
You Can't Ignore the Working Class Forever
I couldn't agree more with the two union leaders walking away from the DNC — and I’ve felt this way for a long damn time. Truth is, I’ve been disgusted with the national Democratic Party since the Clinton years. They sold out working people in the name of triangulation and corporate comfort, and way too many have never looked back.
Worse yet? A big chunk of the Democratic base still thinks being a "liberal" is some kind of moral gold star — when that’s just the kindergarten-level class. A starting point. Not the destination.
