My 🤯 moment today: -company that’s already gotten $millions from Oklahomans issues press release -we ask for interview, send over specific questions (*a rare courtesy) -they agree to video call -only for them to get on call, give no interview, and ask who else I’m talking to 😭

🌟Working on a new investigation involving your taxpayer money and a former Oklahoma official. 💰 Digging through records now. 📝 And asking LOTS of questions. More soon.

No, Oklahoma lawmakers aren’t trying to put human remains in your fertilizer. (A sentence I never thought I’d have to write)

I have no idea who runs Krispy Kreme's PR efforts targeting local news stations, but somehow every promotion/new donut/limited offer/etc ends up as a story in our newscast. I can confirm I have received zero free donuts as part of whatever force is at play here.

NEW ARENA NAME- I was hoping for the “Braums Bowl,” but I suppose this will do. 😉 Get ready to Thunder Up at the Continental Coliseum! okcfox.com/news/local/o...

INBOX- Gov. Kevin Stitt orders full accounting of where public education funding is going, saying between local, state, and federal dollars, $9.6 billion is allocated to public education each year, representing the largest annual investment of taxpayer dollars. #oklahoma

SHOCKING ALLEGATIONS in a lawsuit filed against Jennifer Roberts and her "crisis nursery." We are digging into the court documents now and hearing from many donors who feel betrayed as their money allegedly went to purchase a car, med spa treatments, and steak and sushi dinners...

FOX 25 found all mentions of consulting firm BCG were removed from Oklahoma's rural health transformation website February 11th, the same day we filed an Open Records Request. The state then provided us a heavily redacted $10 million contract with the firm. okcfox.com/news/local/c...

While pledging transparency, the state redacted much of a contract involving up to $10 million dollars through 2026. My latest investigation tracking your money, Tuesday at 9pm. #Oklahoma

Right before my dog decided to “go for a swim” in the backyard 😭

Me, seeing that a government website quietly changed some wording immediately after I filed an open records request to get info on how your money is being spent. More to come… (and yeah, I’m still waiting on those records.) #oklahoma

‼️Unapproved Jail Raises "MAYBE CASPER THE FRIENDLY GHOST CAME AND SIGNED AND AUTHORIZED IT." OK County Criminal Justice Authority Board member Derrick Scobey questioned the jail administrator about the staff raises the board had voted AGAINST. okcfox.com/news/local/b...

Logan Co. deputy tells police “full disclosure. I’m going to jail” during his arrest for DUI and child endangerment. Thank God those children weren’t hurt… #oklahoma

Proud mom moment🥰- watching my youngest brave the freezing temps to win 2nd place overall in this morning’s Beacon Run 5K. Finish time- 26:28 💨

Our friends in the Tulsa area are going through it tonight. 💔So far reports of 7 confirmed tornados with a number of fatalities. Our state won't be out of the woods until the morning. Please stay safe. (Photos from Rogers County) #okwx

Ladies, are we still changing our names after we get married? Men, does it matter to you if the woman you marry doesn't take your name? Fewer younger, educated women are making that choice.

GUTWRENCHING FINAL MOMENTS- "The last thing her daughter will remember of her mother...is a scream and the line going dead" Justin Zonts tells FOX 25 about his sister Jodie Owens who was killed in the Fairview tornado with her daughter while alerting her other kids to take cover tinyurl.com/2mhpbj47

SAVE AMERICA ACT- We're sifting through confusion and misinformation surrounding the proposal to massively overhaul voting and what it would mean for Oklahomans who already have the lowest voter participation in the country. @letsfixthis.bsky.social okcfox.com/news/local/p...

Former House Speaker and current candidate for governor Charles McCall says the governor's appointee can only serve what's left of Sen. Mullin's unexpired term and will be barred from running in the election. So who does he want to see in the seat? #oklahoma

REMEMBER THIS? Here's a look back at Trump's newly named DHS Secretary, Sen. Markwayne Mullin, in 2023 when he stood up and tried to fight labor leader Sean O'Brien at a senate committee hearing after reading O'Brien's tweet saying he'd take him "any time, any place."

GOV STITT TO APPOINT NEXT U.S. SENATOR- For those asking "what's next?" for OK's Senate Seat held by Markwayne Mullin, whose been tapped as new DHS Secretary- Oklahoma lawmakers changed the law 2021, eliminating a special election in cases like this to save taxpayers' 💰

Seems like an appropriate time to repost as President Trump has just named Sen. Mullin the next DHS Secretary.

I can't explain it, but listening to these two #Oklahoma lawmakers spar over a bill that would expand black bear hunting season is the energy I need on my feed today. #okleg bit.ly/4rRxnG5

Here are 4 things Sen. Mullin did and said that landed him in the news today. #Oklahoma

👀"THAT'S BULLSH*T!" heard yelled from an Oklahoma House member to Speaker Hilbert during debate of HB 4422-- aimed at ensuring SNAP and TANF applicants are US citizens. Hilbert called it a 'White House request bill' and asked same question posed in the SOTU. #okleg #Oklahoma

Appreciation post for my twins’ 7th grade French teacher, who assigned them a project over the long weekend that involved each of them making me crepes and cleaning up. With no help. Madame Lock, I salute you. 🫡

Rep. Tom Cole snaps back at Governor Stitt’s criticism of the republican led congress, touting an economic turnaround and calling the US the “envy of the world.” #oklahoma

Wendy's announced earlier this week hundreds of its locations will be closing in the next few months. No list of which ones yet. BUT... I can tell you the Wendy's near the capitol in OKC is apparently out of ketchup today.

JUST IN- amid student led protests against ICE at various Oklahoma schools, OKC public schools says leaving campus without permission results in an unexcused absence, possible discipline, and may affect a student’s ability to ride the bus.

More fallout over 'drunk lawmakers' allegation- Day one of Oklahoma's legislative session, and the feud among some Senate republicans is only growing, with one lawmaker reportedly calling members of his own caucus "trans republicans" and "cowards." #OKleg

HOLDING BACK 3RD GRADERS- "If you don't provide the resources, you will not get the result." Oklahoma eyes a return to forced retention for kids who aren't reading at grade level. But some experts warn it could actually harm children, UNLESS #Oklahoma lawmakers get it right....

Imagine if there was no video

Hope to see you next Thursday! #oklaed #oklahoma

"They're right." The Oklahoma State Chamber acknowledges all the educators who've been questioning why the chamber is speaking up NOW to support #oklaed while staying silent previously. "We should have been more engaged."

The spiked CECOT 60 Minutes segment ended up on YouTube, temporarily, after it was put on the Global TV App in Canada. You can still watch it in full here. archive.org/details/60mi...

You ready? #BoomerSooner

The Multi-County Grand Jury has indicted a former Tulsa pastor on one count of first-degree rape and one count of lewd or indecent acts to a child under 16. My office has no tolerance for child sex predators, especially those who exploit the faith of their victims. www.oklahoma.gov/oag/news/new...

WI$H LIST- a paper shredder, 💰thousands in gift cards , $200 ear buds, and kitchen appliances are on the "recovery" gift registry shared by former Oklahoma Senator Anastasia Pittman and current Rep. Ajay Pittman, who is under investigation for fraud. Background --> okcfox.com/news/local/i...

IS ADDING MORE SCHOOL DAYS THE ANSWER? "This is the only industry I have seen in my life where you have a labor shortage and you make the conditions worse," said Battiest Supt. Tommy Turner. okcfox.com/news/local/s...

ICYMI- (Those 5:02pm Friday press releases can be sneaky). The Dept. of Mental Health is seeking proposals from private operators to take over some services. They're seeking bids through Jan. 17th. #oklahoma oklahoma.gov/odmhsas/abou...

HAPPENING NOW- these middle schoolers from across #Oklahoma are working to pass their own legislation at the state capitol. My guy (in the photo) is hoping his bill makes it out of committee this morning! Thanks to YMCA for their Youth Government program. #okleg

It's refreshing (and rare) to get a press release that was noticeably not totally written by AI. 💫

AUDIT REVEALS Western Heights school district spent more than $1 million in legal fees in just three years. Money for lawyers that was meant for Oklahoma education. It's just 1 of 5 "significant problems" auditor Cindy Byrd outlines... #oklahoma #oklaed

❗️"I know for a fact we have communicated." OKDEMS chair Erin Brewer tells me they'll take legal action if needed to keep their primaries open to independent voters. The #oklahoma election board announced today 2026/27 primaries would be closed after neither party filed notice..

INBOX- INDEPENDENTS SHUT OUT OF PRIMARIES. Neither party in Oklahoma filed the paperwork to open up their primary elections next year. (Typically in OK, independents can vote in democratic primaries. republicans close theirs to party members.) The timing is ironic...

My greatest blessings on the planet. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. 🤎

🚨#OKLAHOMA SEEKS $5 MILLION+ from failed restaurant owners, claiming negligence caused a fire inside the Lookout Kitchen at Sequoyah State Park in Dec 2024 while they were uninsured. This photo from the scene was shared online by Spring Valley volunteer firefighters -🧵

LAWSUIT FILED- The State of #Oklahoma files suit against the company behind the now-closed Lookout Kitchen restaurants in state parks, seeking💰for breach of contract. (We are awaiting a copy of the full filing.) We previously uncovered repeated issues with the deal...🧵

Logging an interview, and I just cracked myself up. "Everybody that can afford to, sends their kids to private school for a reason down there (Mississippi.)" Me, a product of Mississippi public education with parents who could have sent me to private school.... #oklaed

A professor at the University of #Oklahoma, has been released from ICE custody after being detained on Saturday, posting- "It was a deeply distressing experience, especially seeing those without the support I had." okcfox.com/news/local/o...
