GOP has had control of the Arkansas budget for about 13 years. They’ve had a trifecta (Governor, House, Senate) for over a decade. No one but the very rich is better for it. They’ve blown your tax dollars on $19K lecterns, Disney Paris, and billion dollar prisons no one wants.
So Arkansas has 6.9 billion net available yet we want to spend 17% of that for a mega prison that will operate at 9 million a month and we currently pay counties 3 million a month. Where will the money come from? Yes taxes since 2022 for individuals are down from 4.9% to 3.9%

TLDR: the Republican Party is refusing to open the government unless Democrats will cave and let your healthcare costs skyrocket.
SCHUMER is on the floor right now. he will propose a 1-year extension of Obamacare subsidies. Remember: @SpeakerJohnson is opposed to this.

Just secured a Democratic opponent for my least favorite legislator in the state of Arkansas. 🥲 Have a great weekend, everyone.

Again, Republicans do not give a shit about the Capitol Police, who their base mercilessly attacked on 1/6/21 and whose assailants received pardons by their cult leader. No wonder these losers keep losing.
If I were a Democrat, I would be embarrassed to walk into this building every day. To walk past the men and women of the Capitol Police not getting paid. The junior staffers wondering how they are going to pay their rent. How can Democrats look any of these people in the eyes?

Something I think is hurting Republicans more than anything (please don’t forward this free advice) is them pretending to give a shit about people they’ve been systematically attacking for forty years as “takers” during this shutdown.

We are talking to potential candidates in two dozen more Arkansas legislative districts than we were yesterday thanks to the big wins in Georgia, Mississippi, Virginia, and beyond. THANK YOU, ORGANIZERS!

Benton County, we are very happy to ensure you have a choice for State Representative in both big House districts. From talking Razorback football to military service (and experience at a small Bentonville-based five-and-dime) we have some great folks stepping up this year. 🗳️

Watching Democrats kick the ever-loving dogshit out of bootlicking Republicans will never get old, whether it's in Georgia, Virginia, New Jersey, or NEW YORK, NEW YORK. "Rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated" vibes tonight. Libbing out hard.
