This is an extremely fun read.

They tried, bless their hearts.

People who know Kentucky politics: This Aug. 3 "deadline" is nothing. It's not a thing. People who have never set foot in Kentucky but have access to ChatGPT: Why are you complicit in covering up Mitch McConnell's death??? WHY WON'T ANDY BESHEAR STORM A HOSPITAL???

Fancy Farm is such a niche Kentucky politics event that I can't stop thinking about how many people saw this Andy Beshear tweet without any of that context in their noggins.

Quote from a GOP Fancy Farm attendee who wore a t-shirt depicting President Donald Trump shirtless and tattooed, speaking on Mitch McConnell: “I hope he’s a Christian, and he’s going to heaven. I’m more (interested) in where he’s going to end up when he dies, because it’s not too far away for him.”

And on that note, that's enough internet today! We'll have more Fancy Farm pics, video and stories at Kentucky.com tomorrow and Monday. BYEEEE!

It seems Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear has been briefed on Fancy Farm. "Rand Paul apparently said I’d been 'neutered' by my legislature. Rich coming from a guy who’s never had a pair of balls and if he did they’d be held by Trump."

"Where's Mitch?"

‘Where’s Mitch?’ McConnell’s absence hangs over Fancy Farm as GOP honors senatorMitch McConnell has attended Fancy Farm for decades, but he missed his last as a sitting senator due to health issues.www.kentucky.com

Michael Adams saw the writing on the wall: “I’ve watched other secretaries of state in my party get beat for every office they run for the last six years,” Adams said. “They’ve run for House, Senate, government, they get beat every time. This is the worst job in America to get a promotion.”

Plot twist!

After years of teasing, Michael Adams makes surprising decision in 2027 KY governor’s raceRepublican Secretary of State Michael Adams has long hinted at his interest in running for governor. So what led to this unexpected decision?www.kentucky.com

The traditions of the Fancy Farm picnic go back generations. Our reporter spoke to several volunteers with deep ties to the event about what it takes to make it happen each year.

What does it take to make Fancy Farm barbecue? Preparations start earlySee how smokey fire pits, homegrown tomatoes and an ancestral barbecue recipe come together to at this Kentucky event.www.kentucky.com

Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear has appointed Patti Minter, a WKU history professor and former state lawmaker from Bowling Green, to the state Board of Education.

Sen. Bernie Moreno, R-Ohio: "Andy Beshear is just a disgraceful, attention-seeking whore." thehill.com/homenews/sta...

Forty percent of Democrats being willing to still vote for someone accused of domestic violence or sexual assault *also* seems... really bad.

NEW from @aacquisto.bsky.social & @taylorsixhl.bsky.social, in partnership with @propublica.org:

Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear says all y'all fired up about Mitch McConnell need to take your pitchforks over to John Thune's office and leave him alone.

Andy Beshear pressures John Thune to address Mitch McConnell’s absence“I would suggest that everybody online pile on there because that is the person who is ignoring his job,” Beshear said of Thune.www.kentucky.com

Subtle.

Iowa, you say?

No, Joe, you do not understand it correctly.
