Kim covers breaking political news for Kentucky, and shares the upcoming "Good Trouble Lives ON" mass mobilizations and protests for voting rights. She also has a great conversation with fellow progressive news collaborator, Bruce Maples of Forward Kentucky about the big news out of DC and what we should call the gut-punch to Kentucky that is the Trump MAGA budget reconciliation package.
