Vouchers take $ from public school to give to private schools & forces public HS kids to perform 75 hours of community service in order to graduate in addition to going to school all day, after school activities & after school jobs but not required of private school students.

What's scoop on Alex Karp and Tom Cotton?
Karp is the CEO of Palantir and one of the largest donors behind attack ads against Hallie Shoffner.
Palantir has a $10 billion enterprise budget with the US Army. Cotton oversees their budget as Chair of the Senate Select Committee.

Armed agents at your door asking if you’re registered to vote? That’s not fighting election fraud. That’s intimidation, plain and simple.

Montanans are paying $6 a gallon for diesel because Washington started a war in Iran. Their fix? Cut deals with Putin.
I’ll build American energy here at home, stand up to petro-dictators, and work to end this war so costs come down for good.

Trump again talks about Husted’s ass, then talks about Nicki minaj’s ass and asks her to stand up so everyone else can look at it
So presidential 😕

The GOP closes its Michigan campaign with unapologetic bigotry thebulwark.com/p/gop-closes-…

Trump’s Transportation Secretary used the word “libtard” while standing next to his daughter with Down syndrome. Then he defended it. Sean Duffy is a terrible father and a failed human being.

When it was reported he expressed this privately during the first term, I asked him whether he said it. He wouldn’t fess up. And his aides screamed for us to get out of the Oval. He’s just letting the Klan talk rip now.

Unconscionable that Republicans are using bureaucratic hurdles to deliberately deprive people of food. Sadly, Arkansas & Gov. Sanders have been at the forefront of hardheartedness. And French Hill & Tom Cotton both voted for it.

Trump’s DOJ told a judge how to rule. Then it pulled her from court. ‘Rule of law’ in the time of Trump and shills like Cotton and Frenchie. washingtonpost.com/nation/20…
Trump policies (mirrored in Darkansas) are pushing millions off food stamps. Starve the poor! Comfort the rich with tax cuts, school vouchers and welfare for billionaire data center owners and the electric company! theguardian.com/us-news/2026…
There is no clearer choice on the ballot than Shoffner against a despicable, dishonest war monger.
All along this campaign, I have heard stories from Arkansans about what matters most. If you elect me to represent you, I will take these stories to Washington and fight every day for you. I will also continue to travel the state, hear your stories, and work to make your life better, because as your Senator you are electing me to represent you. That’s the job.
There’s 9 days left, vote this week. Polling places are open Monday. 🗳️

If and when the GOP loses elections in Texas, @StephenM will (as he already is) try to scapegoat someone else.
But this is your proof that some number of voters are SPECIFICALLY voting because of Stephen Miller's murder squads.
Is this why even Republican legislators who know better won’t curb the runaway public school-crippling Arkansas voucher giveaway? Fear the Walton money will come after them?
A high-ranking Republican had wanted only to curb the unchecked growth of West Virginia’s voucher program, not destroy it.
In the ensuing backlash, three PACs — affiliated with the Koch family and Jeffrey Yass — helped defeat him at election time.

This supercut is likely to make Trump VERY upset. The difference between Trump and Obama is on full display, and the contrast is absolutely devastating. Watch until the end...

No biggy… a little declaration of Capitol for the Day… drag a few cabinet/staff folks from their office, fly a little state airplane up, do some photo ops, and end the day at Arts on Main with a campaign fundraiser sponsored by State Senator Jim Petty.
An idea for Arkansas TV. Better than some of the schlock they’ve invented to replace Washington Week and similar. nytimes.com/2026/10/23/world…
