If Congressman Gill took his job seriously, he'd know it's illegal to put a living person on U.S. currency.

Seems bad. SB307 would allow utilities to self-regulate new (likely gas) power plants inside and outside of Arkansas, and charge new rates, without PSC approval. It'll be easier to plan and cancel an out-of-state nuke than build renewables. #arpx #arleg arktimes.com/arkansas-blo...

“Cops: Crystal City” 👮

Ark. Senator Dismang is apparently bad at math but wants us all to believe that he really checked his math on this Entergy-Summit bailout bill that the utilities wrote. Industrial customers say the bill could raise their rates by 25%. Who do you believe? www.arkansasonline.com/news/2025/ma...

Tariff wars and robber barons, white supremacy and Comstockery, sewage in the water and measles on the march. Truly, he has Made America Gilded Again.

I’m not going to the Joint Address. I will be live posting and chatting with you all here instead. Then going on IG Live after.

Remember what happened pre-EPA? California was smogged out of its gourd and the Cuyahoga River in Cincinnati had oil slicks on it that caught fire. The river was literally on fire.

Easy to lose this in the noise of the day, but the prime minister of Canada just said the US president, leader of the global hegemon, wants to soften us up economically so he can annex us. That is one of the most remarkable statements, and realities, in our history.

Raising chickens is more expensive than grocery store eggs, but also, bird flu is endemic in wildlife at the moment. Asking people to do this with zero safety precautions or knowledge is a great way to get more people infected and raise the chance that we get a human transmissible version.

"people should start saving now" is an awful shitty thing to say to the 7.5M disabled people on SSI who legally cannot save more than $2k without losing their benefits which are a max of $943 a month to fucking begin with www.cnbc.com/2025/03/01/d...

Criminalizing protest is a hallmark of authoritarian regimes

Arkansas Republicans -- joined by two Democrats for some reason -- want to make it easier for utility companies to raise your bills by quite a bit. arktimes.com/arkansas-blo...

It’s surreal that I have to go to a foreign leader to hear someone describe the full derangement and malignancy of my own president in plain language, because our own “free press” and opposition leaders won’t do it. Bravo Trudeau

Trudeau: "He talked about banking again today in a tweet, which doesn't make any sense because 16 banks are currently active in Canada holding about $113b worth of assets in this country... what he wants is to see a total collapse of the Canadian economy, because that'll make it easier to annex us."

Call it by its name: Trumpcession.

The men on SCOTUS want us and our children to die so they can make more money.

truth bomb

say it with me: Republicans know their policies are unpopular which is why they're hiding from their voters

Salt caves 2000 feet underground in New Mexico hold the radioactive nuclear waste from US defense projects. It's the world's only deep geologic repository. And DOGE says it has terminated the very large office in Carlsbad that oversees it. Details 👇

Yep. Warned everyone. Privatization of everything is coming.

It is 5 am in March, and there is a tornado watch in Arkansas. Musk is destroying our safety networks.

What could possibly go wrong?

No taxpayer bailout for crypto scam artists

Exclusive: Inside the Strategic Crypto Reserve

Good morning, all y'all. It's too early for this sh**.

When Musk fires the National Weather Service, where are you going to get your Tornado Watch alerts?

No one in DC can bargain in good faith with Trump because he will not follow laws passed by Congress. No one internationally can bargain in good faith with Trump because he will not respect agreements made by the United States. Being a counterparty just makes you a target for another shakedown.

Would love potash, the most boring substance, to be the turning point in this U.S.-initiated trade war. Canada supplies 80% of it to the United States. A 25% tariff will ruin American farmers. Canada could also choose to block its export. It’s practically the spice melange…

I support and am happy the party came together to stop this. However, this is what they should be doing on EVERYTHING. I’ve said it before and I’ll keep saying it - we are in an existential crisis as a country. We’re either going to emerge as Americans, or as something else.

“The White House has been clear that it intends to dismantle the department and that it will be McMahon's job to oversee that effort.” God damn it. www.npr.org/2025/03/03/n...

Who’d have thought a man who managed to bankrupt a casino could inherit an economy enjoying world-beating growth, and tank it into recession and a market dive in under two months? A real shock, this.

SCOOP: Now that Linda McMahon is confirmed/sworn in as secretary, Trump will be imminently issuing an executive order eliminating the Department of Education. I’ve obtained a draft of an email that McMahon will be sending to staff re: the EO and the department’s “final mission”. Here is a portion:

"The order could allow the Trump administration to make mail voting — which was used by tens of millions of voters last year — more difficult. Trump has repeatedly said he’d like to end the practice, falsely claiming it allows for widespread fraud." www.democracydocket.com/analysis/tru...

The US just potentially lost trillions of dollars, Europe has revived its arms industry and giving European manufacturers priority. US contracts are being pushed aside and European companies are now receiving record breaking orders. These are the top companies surging right now.

Today, not long after 3:00 PM, the US Senate will vote on a motion to invoke cloture on a transgender sports ban applying to youth and sports from dancing to darts and evenChess. If 7 Democrats flip on this motion, we will likely get a national sports ban in the US. CONTACT YOUR SENATORS!

I hate it here. 😡 #arpx

So let me see if I have this right - hundreds of thousands are getting/have been laid off, the economy is about to nosedive from tariffs, a measles outbreak is currently spreading with bird flu waiting in the wings, and now he wants to blow up the farm industry? And this is going to make us great?

HEY EVERYONE, Conway has three AWESOME Black candidates running for school board in zone 1, zone 5, and the at large position. www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=9...

Arkansas Dept. of Ed. lets the cat right out of the bag -- vouchers are about helping parents send their kids to schools with "a different racial mix." Parents can even select it as their "primary reason." #arpx #arleg #Arkansas #arnews

Democrats should boycott the State of the Union. Democrats keep calling this man a unique and dangerous threat, but never ACT like it. For once, Democrats' *actions* should match their words. My latest in @thenation.com www.thenation.com/article/poli...

I called Sen. Tom Cotton and asked for his latest positions on Iran and North Korea. The Constituent Services people said he had no positions. What kind of BIZZARO WORLD are we in that Sen. Tom Cotton no longer has a position on IRAN? #arpx carnegieendowment.org/research/202...
