Sen. Bryan King says Gov. Sanders' Apple Dumpling Gang is turning to "desperate measures" to find water for her Franklin Co. mega-prison: “It’s the most expensive culvert in Arkansas history ... That’s how badly the taxpayers have been fleeced.” #Arkansas #arpx #arleg arktimes.com/arkansas-blo...

It would take just 24 Democratic senators with backbone to #FireSchumer & mitigate damage done by last night's disgraceful surrender that he either facilitated or couldn't prevent. Alas, spinal fortitude seems in rather short supply ... www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

Indeed, Sen. Kaine. Everybody will get to see who is standing for them when it comes to lowering their healthcare costs. And it isn't you.

"No one in the Senate chamber wants to extend the ACA tax credits more than I do. That's why I've decided to make sure that never, ever happens ..."

Senate Democrats were holding three queens and two aces ... and decided to fold. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

Your lips to God's ears, Nancy. We can only hope there will never be another president like Donald Trump.

So, then, a single payer healthcare system? 🤔

In her psychotic rush to deport people to foreign gulags, Kristi Noem bought airplanes that didn't have engines from an airline that didn't actually own the planes. As a metaphor for the Trump administration, this is what we might call ... a chef's kiss ... www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Trump does know that the Commanders haven't won a Super Bowl in 35 years, right? www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/n...

It's almost as if Republicans don't understand that insurance companies use money from premiums to pay for people's medical expenses ... so that they don't die.

Chris Murphy warning his wobbly colleagues of the hell they're going to pay if they surrender in this moment.

Some encouraging news from Virginia for #Arkansas Democrats hoping to make inroads next year: Abigail Spanberger - emphasizing the damage being done by Trump's tariffs - shifted rural voters by a whopping 19 points, coming to within 8 points of her Republican opponent. #arpx #arleg

All of the main hub airports connecting to Little Rock and NW Arkansas - Dallas, Atlanta, Charlotte, Houston, Chicago - are subject to these flight reductions. Memphis is also affected. So, if you're planning to fly ... gird your loins. #Arkansas #arpx #arnews

I fear that we might run out of sandwich puns today. But lettuce persevere!

US Rep. Steve Womack, R-Rogers, who previously announced he would not accept his salary during the govt. shutdown, was paid in October due to a clerical error, his office says: "Any statements made contrary to this were said in good faith." #Arkansas #arpx #arnews

But will Subway have the courage to make him their new brand ambassador? #ThrowFresh

How loud would Republicans would be screaming today if Joe Biden just nodded off in the middle of a public event ...

I threw the sandwich ... and they said it was a delicious offense ...

The fact that Christian nationalist crank Jason Rapert has his knickers in a serious twist over Tuesday's election results is what we in #Arkansas call ... the cherry on top of the sundae! #arpx

We should be buying free sandwiches for this dude for the rest of his natural life ...

Centrist Senate Democrats preparing to cave, as we all knew they would. Talk about misreading the room ... www.politico.com/live-updates...

What I first saw this, I thought maybe Stephen Miller had collapsed under the weight of his own evil. Alas, no ...

In a lifetime of saying very stupid things, the Luzianna Leprechaun may have outdone himself here ...

Once again, the Democrat-Gazette fails to mention that violent crime in DC is at a 30-year low. "Trump's push to confront crime in the nation's capital" is a Republican talking point unsupported by facts, not a way to lead a news story. #Arkansas #arpx buff.ly/3LhOdoO

A terrific Thursday everybody! The moon looked really marvellous last night. And I'm a little proud that I managed to capture it handheld and without using a tripod. [📷Nikon D850 f/9,0 1/320 600mm ISO 160]

Well, now, this is ... not good.

Some encouraging news for Democratic legislative candidates as the filing period continues in #Arkansas: Democrats picked up a whopping 13 seats last night in Virginia & broke Republican supermajority in Mississippi Senate. #arpx

Glad to see the governor helping out. But it would be much more useful if she picked up the phone and called her old boss to tell him to stop taking away food from people in her state ... even if that doesn't get her picture on the news. #Arkansas #arpx #arleg

World-renowned political strategist & pardoned jailbird Steve Bannon had this bit of sage advice for Republicans in wake of the butt kicking they received last night: "You double and triple down with Trump." We can only hope that Republicans listen! www.politico.com/news/magazin...
