Taxpayers are paying for this. How much? She refuses to say. And a law the ‘press’ association helped pass protects secrecy of her state cop entourage and her travel.

Hello, Fort Smith! Gov. Sanders leans into Capital for a Day trips on taxpayers’ dime. She won’t say how much. arktimes.com/arkansas-blog/2…

Killing civilians, kidnapping Ukrainian children, murdering political foes and critics—a real humanitarian, right? Every American should be embarrassed by this Putin-lovin' lickspittle.

"A town got hit or whatever."
Anhelina, a one-year-old, was killed in her stroller by a Russian Shahed yesterday in Kharkiv. Her mother, Inna Mariukhna, was also killed.

French, you voted against the $35 monthly cap on insulin, and the Part D out-of-pocket cap.
But at least you got dinner and a photo.

Why is a publicly regulated utility allowed to redact details in paperwork for a data center? Seems like the public & ratepayers should have a right to know what's going on with a project that will impact them for decades.

So a court of law that agreed with a 12-year-old little girl that her mother‘s husband had raped her is lying???
How low will these people go?
Vance: The media and the Democrats in the state of Ohio are obsessed because Vivek Ramaswamy had the audacity to run a TV commercial which calls it out like it is and calls Amy Acton a liar.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The ad features Amy Acton's estranged mother disputing Acton's account of childhood homelessness, rape and abuse. Both 1978 Mahoning County court records and Acton's brother, Phillip Stearns, corroborate her account of living in a tent and abuse.

Nothing makes a MAGA happier than protecting pedophiles and demonizing victims.

Embattled Republican candidate Bright loses key endorsement arktimes.com/arkansas-blog/2…
More brilliant reporting on scandalous Louisiana eviction courts. Perhaps this Guardian team will take a look at Darkansas’s mean landlord-tenant laws, zealously protected by landlord/legislators. theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i…

IHere's what Pres.Trump has done for Vladimir Putin since 2017:
🇺🇸➡️🇷🇺 First term
1Stood next to Putin in Helsinki and took his word over U.S. intelligence
2Lobbied to bring Russia back into the G7
3Withheld military aid from Ukraine to squeeze Zelensky (impeachment #1)
4Pulled out of Syria, handing Russia a freer hand
5Openly questioned NATO's mutual-defense pledge
6Lifted sanctions on Deripaska-linked companies, including Rusal
7Walked away from the INF nuclear treaty
8Walked away from the Open Skies treaty, leaving our European allies with less visibility
🇺🇸➡️🇷🇺 Second term
9. Called Russia's G7 expulsion a "mistake"
10. Declared Moscow "holds all the cards"
11. Opened talks with Russia with zero preconditions
12. Berated Zelensky in the Oval Office, then paused aid and intel to Ukraine
13. Halted offensive cyber operations against Russia
14. Had the U.S. vote WITH Russia against a UN resolution condemning the invasion
15. Said "Crimea will stay with Russia"
16. Rolled out the red carpet for Putin in Alaska
17. Pressed Ukraine, not Russia, to give up territory
18. Starshield
19. Diesel
20. Revoke Graham sanctions
That's not "America First."
You could never make that list of things a President has done for Zelensky, or for NATO. Ask yourself why.
The Little Rock City Board last night effectively endorsed secretive, taxpayer-financed help for private business. It's a long pattern of the Little Rock Chamber of Commerce. facebook.com/share/p/1C1wmYo…

Same for Republicans in Arkansas. They want to wreck public school districts, particularly those, well, you know.
