Two of the overrides were closely watched bills-- one will require insurance to cover additional breast cancer screenings when mammograms are not sufficient. The other is HB 1137, which allows state funding for the Office of Liaison for Missing & Murdered Indigenous Persons. @kfor

This session not only saw more vetoes than usual but a huge jump in bills that are going into effect without the Governor's signature. (2/3) Courtesy @kgounews kgou.org/politics-and...

AG Drummond blasts the veto, calling it "incomprehensible and indefensible" if not surprising given the high-profile scandals that have dogged the Stitt Administration. @kfor4.bsky.social

"The statutory text is clear, its purpose is evident, and it confirms the Legislature's intent to permit unannounced inspections as a means of ensuring compliance with minimum standards."

"In Arkansas, something like 18,000 people lost their Medicaid within the span of a few months. Most of those people were kicked off Medicaid — not because they were shown to have not been working or to have one of these other allowable exemptions but for administrative reasons."

Reporter @dylantbrown asks why voters should listen to Walters when Oklahoma is 49th in education, and Walters responds by saying KFOR is fake and "is always wrong." Here is some background on the budget. (3/3) kfor.com/news/oklahom...

Here is the case that Homeland Security says was connected to the raid. It appears those indicted have been arrested. www.justice.gov/usao-ndok/pr...

The Department of Homeland Security responded this morning to @nbc and confirms when ICE raided this home, “the previous residents were the intended targets” and not the mother and her daughters (US Citizens) who were awakened, sent outside and their possessions seized.

"You have guns pointed in our faces. Can you just reprogram yourself and see us as humans, as women?" ICE assisted by FBI & US Marshalls seized electronics & cash but she says they didn't leave info. for her to call. Homeland Security tells @SHumphreyTV they are looking into it.
