I listened to this and it was such a great conversation!

These Activists Want to Dismantle Public Schools. Now They Run the Education Department. Under Trump, the Department of Education has been bringing in activists hostile to public schools. It could mean a new era of private and religious schools boosted by tax dollars — and the end of publ...

Conservative education activists such as Moms for Liberty co-founder Tiffany Justice have access to the top levers of the government.

“If America’s public schools cease to exist tomorrow, America would be a better place,” Justice told ProPublica.

School board members in N. Little Rock should really talk to their colleagues in Conway about the folly of plunging into anti-LGBTQ culture wars -- some of whom ended up losing their seats due to the turmoil they created. And NLR has more people likely to raise hell.

This really should be a big loud effing deal statewide (and maybe country-wide.) in Huckabee Hell, she is trying to build an unwanted prison in Franklin County AR. The Franklin County State Senator died in office. The Huckster is trying to push the special election off until AFTER 1/2

@chrislhayes.bsky.social I saw your discussion with Cory Booker regarding farmers. Please interview Hallie Shoffner, Democratic candidate for US Senate. She is running against Tom Cotton. She is a 6th generation farmer who had to close her farm in Arkansas.

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

SHUTDOWN SHOWDOWN Don't look now, but revitalized Democrats have the wind in their sails, and are finally taking the fight to the anti-American Republicans ...

“A new Kaiser Family Foundation poll revealed that a whopping 78 percent of Americans say Congress should EXTEND enhanced Affordable Care Act tax credits due to expire at the end of the year, including … are you ready for this … 57 percent of MAGA.”

The potential fallout from GOP Medicaid cuts is nothing to crow about | Arkansas Advocate It's neither “big” nor “beautiful” to support policies that threaten health care and food assistance and could close local hospitals.

#OPINION: All four Arkansas Republicans in the U.S. House praised their chamber's approval of a budget reconciliation bill last week. But columnist @theshumater.bsky.social‬ says the bill's significant changes to Medicaid and SNAP are not to be celebrated. #arpx

Veteran's daughter living in US 48 years locked up by ICE Certain legal provisions allow for extending citizenship to family members of individuals who have served in the U.S. military.

She is an American citizen, the daughter of a U.S. Navy service member from Illinois, who was stationed in the Philippines during the Vietnam War.

This is fascism, plain and simple.

So sad - limits enjoying parks in the Natural State. 🙄🤨

There are certainly more MAHA concerns. Even when papers exist, some claims are not supported: "analysis found industry spent >$60 billion on nutrition science"? Paper exists, but the data do not.

Good luck sifting through - maybe this is why they won't publish in Nature, Science, NEJM or Lancet. 🧪

😪

Yes, they are. It is cruel, stupid, and heartbreaking.

Library to pay full bill on attorney fees in Crawford County - Arkansas Times Having the library system cover the entire bill means library hours, programming and possibly entire branches will likely have to be cut.

Crawford Co. library board votes to burden library system, rather than county, with bill for legal fees paid to plaintiffs who successfully sued over restricted access to books with #LGBTQ themes; will lead to cuts in programs & services, board chair says.

The $113K loss means the library system will likely have to reduce its hours at some branches and purchase fewer books in early 2026, the director said.

Crawford County residents told the quorum court Monday that the parties who lost the lawsuit should have been required to pay for it. #arpx

It should not have shocked me that the Quorum Court voted to use library money to pay for their First Amendment violation, and yet I was stumnned as I watched it happen. If you love libraries, become a patron & donate to them, if you can.
