Russia and Ukraine, two countries at war with each other, also differ in their views of Kentucky’s two U.S. senators.

Kentucky's senior senator says the decision puts the issue of abortion in the hands of the democratic process.

A bipartisan group of senators led by Chris Murphy, D-Conn., and John Cornyn, R-Texas, unveiled their proposal over the weekend, which would include incentives for states to pass red-flag laws, funding for school safety and mental health resources, expanded background checks and more.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is in Kentucky this week, saying little about potential legislation to address mass shootings like last week’s massacre in Uvalde, Texas.

The GOP leader spoke from Stockholm following a trip to Kyiv. He backed Sweden and Finland joining NATO and pushed back on more isolationist voices in his party. "There have always been isolationist voices in the Republican Party, and there were prior to World War II, and that's perfectly alright," McConnell said. "This is a debate worth having. It's an important subject. And I think one of the lessons we learned from World War II is not standing up to aggression early. It's a huge mistake."

“Ratchet the sanctions all the way up, don’t hold any back. Every single available tough sanction should be employed and should be employed now,” McConnell said during a news conference in Louisville.

For years, Mitch McConnell converted Donald Trump's heat to power the conservative agenda. Now he needs to again harness that insurgent energy, a challenge when Trump's heat is directed at him.

In a rare break with his party, the Senate minority leader said that it's not the RNC's job to single out party members with different views, referring to Reps. Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger.

With the exception of Rob Portman and Mitch McConnell, all the Republican members of Congress who have a direct interest in solving the Brent Spence Bridge problem voted against Biden's infrastructure bill.

Sen. Mitch McConnell joked this was the first time in a quarter century where he came to Northern Kentucky and it appeared there could be real movement on the Brent Spence Bridge project.
