Six months into Trump’s second term, life is more expensive for working Kentuckians
How to talk about it:
- Trump promised to lower costs “on day one.” Instead, his tariffs have driven prices higher, forcing businesses to scale back and making everything more expensive.
- Mass federal layoffs and sudden office closures are cutting seniors and veterans off from benefits and health care — making life harder for people just trying to get what they’ve earned.
- Trump’s federal budget will hurt rural Kentuckians, taking away health coverage, food assistance, and thousands of good jobs that rural communities rely on. Thirty five rural Kentucky hospitals are projected to close, and 200,000 Kentuckians are expected to lose health care.
- As people struggle to get by, families will also lose access to addiction recovery, workforce training and education programs.

As Back-to-School season begins, Republican education policies are hurting families and future generations
How to talk about it:
- Because of the Trump Tax and rising inflation, school shopping lists will be more expensive for Kentucky families. Teachers will spend more of their own money to help students succeed.
- With just a day’s notice, Trump snatched nearly $100 million from Kentucky schools. While Kentucky’s Republican leaders did nothing, Gov. Beshear took Trump to court to get our families their money back.
- This isn’t just about Trump: the Kentucky GOP is consistently making it harder for students to thrive in school. Democrats want everyone to have access to a strong education.

Kentucky farmers and businesses need relief from destructive trade wars and reckless cuts
How to talk about it:
- Kentucky Republicans are letting Trump take locally-grown food from our children’s school tables. His administration ended a program that funds partnerships between Kentucky farmers and schools.
- Bourbon experts say Trump’s next wave of tariffs “would be crushing“ for workers across the industry, including grain farmers, distillers and bartenders.
- Kentucky farmers are also begging Trump to stop his trade wars, warning that he will be solely to blame for a “farm crisis“ if he refuses to listen.
