Kentucky is now the first state in the nation to capture oblique (side/angle view) photography of its entire geography from the sky. The KYFromAbove Program and its contractor, NV5 , achieved this milestone after pilots flew 2,600 flight lines over Kentucky’s beautiful landscape, travelling 117,000 miles and capturing 40,660 square miles of the commonwealth’s land, including our cities, towns, farms, lakes, mountains and more.

Georgia Democrats are sounding the alarm over potential mass voter challenges ahead of the November election. Georgia law allows local voters to challenge the eligibility of as many people as they want if they suspect the person is ineligible to cast a ballot. Ahead of the Jan. 2021 runoffs for the U.S. Senate, a conservative vote monitoring group called True the Vote challenged hundreds of thousands of voters’ eligibility.

Georgia voters kicked out incumbents, picked replacements for departing legislators and set the stage for June runoffs as well as the big show in November. Ballot casters up and down the Peach State made choices Tuesday that are already set to reshape the state Legislature, which could have an even greater effect on the average Georgian than who sits in the White House this time next year.

With all the crazy news we hear these days, it is understandable that people might feel helpless to make a difference.

Growing cucumbers is one of my favorite things to do in the summer. They are easy to grow and everyone in my family loves to eat them. When it comes to gardening and preserving, few delights are as universally cherished as the cucumber. This versatile vegetable offers the freshest crunch in salads and the tangiest bite in pickles. It's no wonder cucumbers have earned their place as a staple in home gardens, thanks to their versatility and ease of growth.

Kelsie Maureen Clutter didn’t have to die. “​​Just one phone call could have saved her life,” said her friend, Danika Stone. Clutter started getting sick a lot around age 18 after graduating high school, Stone said. At the time, she thought of it as a recurring cold, but in retrospect, it was more likely withdrawal from opioids.

I’ve been honored to serve as U.S. Senator for Kentucky longer than anyone else in the Commonwealth’s history. And for nearly two decades, I’ve also had the privilege of leading my colleagues as Senate Republican Leader. While my responsibilities as Leader change with each shift in the Senate’s balance of power, my job on behalf of my home state has always stayed the same: ensuring Kentucky always punches above its weight. Some of my critics, both inside and outside Kentucky, would prefer that I stop using my influence to help my home state. My answer for them is short: No.

Just outside the tiny Carbon County town of Mcfadden, a dirt road winds its way to an uneven grassy pasture. The herd from Sim’s Cattle Company stops here to graze for a week or two each year. In the north end of the pasture, a pumpjack drums up a steady flow of oil for Rock River Operating. Four miles to the east, 66 wind turbines pump out electricity for the behemoth electric utility PacifiCorp.
