the nation's top law enforcement official asking for a slush fund to pay people who assault cops …. Utterly stupid, morally wrong.
I'm still working hard to get back to my full schedule of work in the Senate and in Kentucky, keeping up with intense physical therapy per my doctors' orders.
But rest assured that, in the meantime, I’m not taking a break from the Senate business that matters to you.
