Of the 3 most populous counties in Arkansas, 2 (Pulaski & Washington) are getting election "monitors." Benton is not. I'll let you figure out which one is strongly Republican and which two have the largest number of Democrats. #arpx #arnews #arleg arkansasadvocate.com/2026/10…

Yesterday the @DCCC added us to Red to Blue. My goal in Congress: make sure Arkansans are heard, no matter which party is in charge. 28 days left. Day one voting starts Oct. 19. Volunteer or chip in: linktr.ee/chrisjonesforcongr…

This one-man crime spree is just 34 days away from being elected as leader of Arkansas' 2nd most populous county, with a big ol' R beside his name. Only the best people! #arpx #arleg #arnews nwahomepage.com/northwest-ar…

Two days ago, French Hill had another chance to vote to end the war with Iran. He voted no. Again. Meanwhile, Arkansans are paying more at the pump. Families, farmers, truckers, and small businesses are feeling it. Arkansas cannot afford more French Hill. #AR02 #GasPrices

Trump Says He Has Banned CNN, MS NOW and Politico From White House No court will allow that to stand. It's a flagrant violation of the Constitution. More likely this is another attempt to divert attention from the war, runaway prices and a collapse of faith in the @POTUS's policies, weeks before a national election. nytimes.com/2026/09/18/busin… via @NYTimes

Closing the Kennedy Center, the official national memorial to John F. Kennedy, unless and until the name Donald J. Trump is added to it isn't the act of a president. It's the act of a petulant child. nytimes.com/2026/09/15/arts/… via @NYTimes

Presidents have routinely criticized the Supreme Court. @realDonaldTrump is not alone in that. What makes his tirades different is that he believes that the OBLIGATION of justices he appoints in every case before them is to support HIM and HIS position. He thinks they work for HIM.

Who are the Grinches trying to steal your Labor Day? Republicans like French Hill & Tom Cotton whose support for Donald Trump's attack on Iran has brought us the highest Labor Day gas prices ever & highest diesel prices of all time. #Arkansas #arpx #arnews nbcnews.com/news/us-news/fue…

I’m not going to repost the filth the president wrote about Maggie Haberman, but suffice it to say she’s a great person, beautiful inside and out, an incredible mom and wife and colleague, and an amazing journalist. The president’s comments are disgusting and beneath the office.

Dolly Parton was so kind and generous to come to the Governor’s Mansion in 2022 to celebrate Arkansas using her Imaginary Library for children. She was always humble and caring besides being such fun. We will miss you!
