“Former county clerk Kim Davis, who refused to issue marriage licenses in #Kentucky to same-sex couples, must pay a total of $260,104 in fees and expenses to attorneys who represented one couple, according to a federal judge’s ruling.

That’s in addition to $100,000 in damages a jury said the former Rowan County clerk should pay the couple who sued.” #LGBTQ #legal

More than 300 children, including two 10-year-olds, were found working at McDonald's restaurants across Kentucky and several other states in violation of federal labor laws, the Labor Department said Tuesday.

What the hell is wrong with Kentucky. Oh yeah, they’re a Republican state and pro life in order to take advantage of children.

One major #Republican #donor is pouring millions into groups funding the #anti-#abortion candidates in three battleground states: #Virginia, #Pennsylvania, and #Kentucky.
He is also one of the largest personal shareholders in the viral social media network, #TikTok.

#Jeff #Yass founded the options trading firm #Susquehanna #Investment #Group, and is now worth a cool $28 billion.

One of Susquehanna’s richest bets was purchasing a 15 percent stake in TikTok’s parent company, #ByteDance, in 2012;
according to the Wall Street Journal, Yass’ personal stake in the company is about seven percent.

A longtime member of the advisory board at the #Cato #Institute and a top donor to Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, Yass, 67, self-identifies as a #libertarian
— a political philosophy that would seem to be at odds with the desire to increase #government #control of women’s health care decisions.

The 12% in Kentucky that support the total ban on abortion—that sounds like the rapist vote.

The Has Done Nearly Everything It Can to Clean Up This Town. It Hasn’t Worked.

Despite years of air monitoring, inspections and millions in penalties for petrochemical plants, the air in Calvert City, , remains polluted.

The EPA’s inability to fix it is an indictment of the laws governing clean air, experts say.

We all know elections are important.

Andy Beshear, #Kentucky governor, is running for reelection in November. He’s done a great job for the state and is an important Democratic hold for protecting reproductive rights, voting rights, and the right to read, be, and love what and who you want.

The Vent Haven Museum in Fort Mitchell, Ky., houses the world's largest collection of ventriloquism dummies. In this Atlas Obscura podcast, Dylan Thuras takes you to meet the 500 residents of the museum, including a replica of Charlie McCarthy, who was responsible for Mae West being banned from NBC radio for 12 years. Here's a link to the podcast, and to an article that describes what you'll find in the museum.
