I’m at Zach Dembo’s campaign watch party in Lexington at West Sixth Brewery. He’s facing six other Democratic hopefuls running for the Congressional 6th District seat.

Starting a big KY election results thread here:

@FOCthis @_AustinHorn So much to unpack here and so little time. I’d suggest reading the entire article and exploring the many, many, many links in it. ^TD

@BGPolitics @_AustinHorn Well, in that case—why would a reporter omit/refuse to link to additional, substantiating content? It’s not his byline on the article I linked. Where’s his piece? Shouldn’t he have asked Olivia Krauth her thoughts? Oh, that’s right—he quit the HL. Job-shopping tempers the content

New: a fmr college classmate alleges KY state Rep Daniel Grossberg assaulted her & made unwanted sexual advances in 2005 when she was a freshman and he was a 26-yr-old senior. She is making these claims on the record & has an accompanying police report. kentucky.com/news/politics-…

@FOCthis @_AustinHorn These stories were published by the same organization — the Herald-Leader — and Austin is one of the two reporters who broke the original story about misconduct allegations nearly two years ago. I’d say his reporting chops are excellent. ^TD

@_AustinHorn Know what? When an average taxpayer w/above-average sleuthing skills remembers info re an elected…What does that say about your chops? “Sketchy Dan” has been a problem for a while. If you’re afraid of reporting—this ain’t the career for you. kentucky.com/news/politics-…

Hello from Churchill! Here at the Kentucky Derby, where Rep. Andy Barr said he is “grateful and honored” for Trump’s endorsement. Also said he would welcome an endorsement from Daniel Cameron as well, but Cameron has said he’s sticking in the race. kentucky.com/news/politics-…

Cameron's consultant responds. “Congrats to Mitch McConnell for getting his guy.” kentucky.com/news/politics-…

Double dump: Nate Morris will bow out of the race and endorse Andy Barr for US Senate. Morris and Barr had gone hard after each other throughout the race. kentucky.com/news/politics-…

A Friday news dump of epic proportions: President Trump endorses Rep. Andy Barr in Kentucky's US Senate primary. kentucky.com/news/politics-…

New: "On the same day, at the same time, 3 of America's biggest conservative influencers on X all had the same thing to say about KY U.S. Senate candidate Nate Morris." I went long on that campaign, many others across the US & one of MAGA’s biggest stars. kentucky.com/news/politics-…

The growth of Addiction Recovery Care, Kentucky’s largest drug rehab center, was fueled in part by billing practices that federal prosecutors and former employees now allege amounted to fraud. propublica.org/article/kentuc…

Kentucky’s largest drug rehab center touts a Christian message and a selfless commitment to helping others. But internally, the organization prioritized money over the well-being of its clients and staff, interviews show. New, with @propublica: kentucky.com/news/state/art…
