    I will say that Bevin gave me one of the greatest quotes I've ever had in my career and it was cut entirely from my story. I'm kind of in mourning. Perhaps it will be revived one day.

    Charles Booker received 88,116 votes in Jefferson County, which is the most votes a primary candidate has ever received there. Previously it was Barack Obama in 2008 with 76,162. If Booker wants to run for mayor of Louisville in 2022, that ain't a bad springboard. #kysen

    .@RepJohnYarmuth opposes nomination: "...it’s clear that this is part of some larger deal on judicial nominations between the president & McConnell. I strongly oppose this deal & Meredith being nominated for the position. That last thing we need is another extremist on the bench"

    I talked to former KY medical chief & child abuse expert Dr. George Nichols: "Bevin clearly doesn’t know medicine and anatomy. I worked for six consecutive governors as chief medical examiner, and fortunately I didn’t have to report to that asshole.”
