We have been at the epicenter of the drug crisis for years. Through the work of the Commission Kentucky is now at the heart of the recovery. I encourage any organization from the Purchase to the Mountains to apply.

Since 2021, the Opioid Abatement Commission has invested more than $100 million in KY communities. The annual Opioid Symposium brings those dedicated to fighting the drug epidemic together for collaboration with organizations across the Commonwealth.

Today, we asked the Kentucky Supreme Court to uphold the Safer Kentucky Act and ensure more than 400 violent criminals spend more time behind bars. We’re proud to partner with leaders in the General Assembly to keep your family safe.

Every public official has a responsibly to protect Americans from fraud. Proud to join @VP Vance, @WHFraudTF and my fellow AGs in our shared commitment to go after fraudsters and their enablers who steal from taxpayers and vulnerable families.

Great to update lawmakers this afternoon about our historic settlement with Meta. We were proud to deliver this transformative achievement that will protect kids online and lay a roadmap for the future.

Today one of KY’s Finest, Trooper Hayden Phillips, made the ultimate sacrifice. Behind the badge was a man with a family, brothers & sisters in gray, & a grateful Commonwealth. Detectives from the AG’s Office were on the scene & will continue to support our KSP colleagues.

The primary White House TV pool is made up of 5 networks: CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, and FOX. We take turns covering POTUS for pooled events and trips, and then share footage with the other 4 plus other outlets.
Today there is no tv pool, so Trump won’t have a crew with him at UNGA.

This month, our Office secured six felony indictments for individuals across Kentucky who defrauded our Medicaid program.

Mark was always a friendly face whenever I’d see him at the Capitol and a great reporter. Praying for his family, friends, and colleagues. 🙏
Today we lost a fine Kentuckian who cared deeply about telling its stories and educating about its civic life. @WLKY’s Mark Vanderhoff understood journalism was about people and he treated those people with fairness and compassion. My prayers are with his family & colleagues.

On this day 25 years ago, a bright September morning gave way to one of America’s darkest days. Today we remember the lives lost, the lives forever changed, & the bravery of our first responders. God bless this great nation and comfort those affected by this unthinkable tragedy.

ICYMI: I joined @BottomLineFBN on @FoxBusiness to discuss our landmark settlement with Meta. The online protections delivered by this settlement will make social media safer for Kentucky's kids and bring a generational change.

ICYMI: I joined @AmericaNewsroom on @FoxNews to discuss our historic proposed settlement with Meta. This was more than just dollar signs-it’s about giving parents the tools to keep their kids safe online.

While Meta is certainly paying for its conduct, this was never just about the money. Kids deserve a childhood that isn’t measured in likes and followers. The online protections delivered by this settlement will bring a generational change.

BIG NEWS! Kentucky received $1.5 million to hire new prosecutors to take on fraud and trafficking.
We're strengthening our partnership with the @VP’s @WHFraudTF and our outstanding partners across the Trump Administration to go after criminals and keep our Commonwealth safe.
