Sunday, 20 July 2025 () Gwen Johnson of Jackhorn, Ky., isn't one to hit snooze after being awoken by public radio, as listening to FM through the day has always comforted her. Now, however, stations like the ones the 67-year-old enjoys are set to lose financial support as the Trump administration rescinds congressional funding to public media, a move he says will save billions in wasteful spending.

Kentucky Church Shooting: A shocking shooting unfolded in Lexington, Kentucky, as a gunman opened fire at Richmond Road Baptist Church early Sunday, killing two women and wounding two men before fleeing. After a traffic stop near Blue Grass Airport led to a shootout with a state trooper—who was seriously injured but in stable condition—the suspect stole a vehicle and returned to the church, where police tracked and fatally shot him.
Officials have not released the suspect’s identity or motive, though police suggest he may have known some of the victims. Lexington Police Chief Lawrence Weathers described the incident as “extremely difficult,” noting the lack of a clear reason behind the violence. The Blue Grass Airport reported no disruptions after morning investigations. Authorities plan an internal review, and the community is reeling from the tragedy as investigators work to piece together the circumstances behind this senseless rampage.

A political firestorm has erupted after Elon Musk publicly declared his support for Rep. Thomas Massie, a Republican from Kentucky who has drawn the ire of Donald Trump. Massie, known for opposing Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill and calling out recent Iran strikes as unconstitutional, now finds himself targeted by Trump in a fiery GOP primary feud.
Trump labeled Massie a “pathetic loser” and vowed to campaign hard against him. However, Musk’s financial support and vocal backing on X could change the game. Former Rep. Justin Amash and grassroots conservatives have also rallied behind Massie, portraying him as a principled fiscal conservative resisting bloated spending. With nearly $309K raised in just a week, Massie’s campaign gains momentum amid the MAGA-driven backlash. The battle now highlights a deeper rift in the Republican Party — between loyalty to Trump and commitment to independent conservative values.
