Kentucky's Deadly Flooding

The death toll from severe flooding in Kentucky has risen to at least 26. That includes four young siblings who were swept away from their parents in the floodwaters. Hundreds had to be evacuated by boat or helicopter and thousands are still without electricity. More rain is expected today and tomorrow. And many of the communities affected by these floods still haven’t fully recovered from last year’s floods and tornadoes in Kentucky. Plus, Democrats could finally deliver on a drug pricing promise.
