Benton County Arkansas seems to have this happen quite a bit. Wonder why that is?

One of them brought up โwelfare queensโ so I told him the truth:
The biggest welfare queens in this country are the giant corporations that donโt pay a penny in federal taxes.
Why should ONE CEO control which movies are made?
They shouldnโt, and thatโs why we need to stop media giants like Netflix and Paramount from taking over Warner Brothers.
In the Bronx, the East Clark Place Senior Residence received a staggering 26,000 applications for just 84 unitsโa ratio of 300 to 1.
When 300 families are left desperately chasing after a single unit, that is not a housing market. That is a humanitarian crisis.
Back when Rubio was a Senator, you could tell when he'd done something he didn't want to talk about because he'd tweet a random bible verse to deflect. I'd challenge you to come up with one to defend what he's allowed to happen to USAID. This is evil. www.propublica.org/article/usai...

Today, at a time of unprecedented income & wealth inequality, his words ring truer than ever.
Itโs been two weeks since ICE took Yuanxin Zheng from his father. He is six years old. Heโs still not home. This has to end.

Weโll have annual data soon, but in the first six months of the program, traffic in the congestion zone dropped by 11 percent, crashes by 14 percent, and complaints of excessive honking or other noise by 45 percent.

11.12.2025 22:51 โ ๐ 11148 ๐ 2686 ๐ฌ 277 ๐ 166For months, we've sought details about the shadowy deal the Trump Admin made with the Salvadoran govt to imprison people in the notorious CECOT prison โ where they faced torture & other human rights abuses.
Yesterday, I got the official who signed the deal to publicly admit it for the first time.
This shady deal was BLOCKED.
A private equity company tried to abuse the bankruptcy system to slither out of paying what they owe to seniors neglected in its nursing homes.
We stayed in the fight and the deal was blocked.
Next, we need PE out of health care altogether.
We spend twice as much per capita on health care as almost any nation on Earth. We pay the highest prescription drug prices in the world. 85 million Americans are uninsured or underinsured.
Republicans โ pathetically โ have nothing serious to say about the health care crisis.
Secretary Noem finally said the quiet part out loud: asylum seekers are here legally.
That admission means ICE is violating federal law under her direction as they ruthlessly assault and deport people with pending asylum cases.
The truth finally comes out.
We have our answer: 4 million.
Senate Republicans just voted to kick 4 million Americans off their health insurance to fund their tax cuts for billionaires & mega-corporations.
I agree with those who say we need to drastically reform the system, but this isn't reform, it's regression.

BREAKING: The Trump administration took $2 BILLION+ from our military to use on political stunts.
This is an insult to our troops. It wonโt make our military stronger or Americans safer.
Pete Hegseth and Kristi Noem owe taxpayers answers.
Make America Healthy Again. Really?
Double ACA premiums. Kick 15 million off health care. Undermine lifesaving vaccines and spark disease outbreaks.
The Trump administration is endangering the health of the American people.
I've warned that a Warner Bros. merger could mean higher prices.
But don't take it from me. The CEO of Disney just said Netflix buying up Warner Bros. could increase Netflix's "pricing leverage" over consumers.
Translation: Higher prices for you to watch your favorite shows.
Americans are struggling to pay their bills and afford groceries, and we've got a President who is asleep at the wheel.

My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to fleeโhis wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.

At one point or another, we're all going to need to see a doctor.
But our health care system remains unaffordable, inaccessible, and deeply dysfunctional. It is unacceptable.
Thatโs why a strong majority of Americans agree: We need Medicare for All.
Maybe instead of committing atrocities, we could just make the rich pay their fair share and have universal healthcare and affordable housing instead.
Idk, just spitballing here.
Some great news: I just got off the phone with the U.S. Coast Guard, who has returned the rescue helicopter to Newport and promised to keep it there. This is a big win to keep fishermen and the Newport community safe.
